I don't know how I feel about this I don't completely agree with this tactic An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind - Gandhi
It's pretty obvious that seeing a book with a 2 star rating, no matter who the author, will make a person have second thoughts about buying it.
I don't, but just like I said, there are millions that do and truly believe that it's an honest and unbiased news agency. That's dishonest, because they push propaganda. Sure, that's the reality, but it's a reality that unfortunately many are blind to.
I really doubt amazon's going to delete all of the one star reviews. Some of the more obvious ones like "Bill sucks! Ron Paul 2012!" will likely get deleted, but lots of them pretend to be honest book reviews.
Many of you seem unable to realize the futility of your actions because you are so invested in Ron Paul. Paul won't win. It's most likely going to be Romeny and the conservative vote will be split with a third party. And if Paul gets even close to winning the GOP overlords will just hack the black boxes like they did to get Shrub elected.
Truer words have never been spoken.
What better way to know their agenda than to watch their news?

Mmmmm....let's see....how can I put this.........
Shut your yap. We're tired of hearing that malarkey.
We'll have to agree to disagree here. I think no matter how much you admire O Reilly (which makes me shudder to think about...lol), seeing a terrible rating like that will give you second thoughts about reading the book. Although it wouldn't suprise me to see O Reilly spin it and say something like "I had all 5 star ratings, but these guys intentionally messed it up! This is a 5 star book!"
O'reilly's fanbase is going to buy that pook no matter what Paul's fan's think about it. If anything you are just going to make people more apt to buy it since they will wonder what all the fuss is about. It's a tried and true tactic.
You should feel pity for the country, because it's populated by more people that accept what the mainstream media feeds them than those who are aware of the corporate medias agenda.
And? It's their fault for not doing the research. I feel no pity for them.
Ah well it will be fun while it lasts.
No, they will. This has all been done before. Amazon deleted the reviews the last time Ron Paul's fans got mad and assaulted someone's book reviews.
Now you're starting to sound like somebody who watches too much MSM

Good point, he has lots of different forces fighting against him, the media and the electronic voting system probably being the biggest ones.
It's most likely going to be Romeny and the conservative vote will be split with a third party. And if Paul gets even close to winning the GOP overlords will just hack the black boxes like they did to get Shrub elected.
I wish there was a slow clap emoticon lol. So what dude, if people support Paul because he truly looks out for the people and has beneficial ideas that the other mainstream candidates don't have, let them support him. If you think he's going to lose, fine, go sit in a dark corner and accept defeat.
And the moral of the story? Stop trying to work in a corrupt system. You will never win a rigged game.

The reason RP will NEVER win an election is because he's too unpredictable.

Hey Bill,
I am one of many who don't waste my time watching your program but came to your site to vote for who I want for President. It is people like you, (I can't call you a journalist because your not!) who are one of the major problems with this country today. You cannot even conduct a fair poll! Just because I choose not to subscribe to your # show, does not make my vote any less real! You just refuse to realize that Ron Paul has a large following, and like the rest of the smucks out there that are suppose to be unbiased reporters, you keep trying to smother any positive news the man gets! Well I got news for you, when the voting fraud is discovered and riots break out, (and they will) I hope the Major media, and people like you, are personally sought out and held accountable for all your Fascist lies. I don't know about anyone else, but as for me, I would make it one of my first priorities! People are frustrated, we have no where to seek justice any longer, and the whole system is corrupt. But yet you pull # like this, and disqualified the real winner because he does not fit into your agenda. It is like rubbing it in our face! Keep it up Bill and maybe you will find the protest right out side the front door of your lovely home.

By "unpredictable" I meant he doesn't follow clear party lines. He has some progressive views, some conservative views, and a ton of just plain weird views

I suppose Libertarian views would be frightening and strange compared to the views held by Democrats and Republicans.
