Dinesh D'Souza
"Yesterday I was stunned to learn that Costco had pulled my latest book, America: Imagine The World Without Her, from all of its stores. This was despite the fact that the book had sold very well at the chain and that my movie of the same name was releasing on over 1,000 screens the very next day... It's one thing for Costco executives to pal around with President Obama and donate almost exclusively to Democrats. But to turn their company into a tool for suppressing dissent against the government is another matter. I urge all Americans to watch our film in their nearest theater and buy the book from an establishment that honors freedom of speech."
I know what you're thinking 'A boo and a hoo to you sir'. A totally crappy book filled with delusional lies why wouldn't Costco want to offend millions of costumers by continuing to sell it? More to the point the insane asshats attack the very company they want to sell their book and wonder why said company isn't totally interested in the concept. There's the real world where conservatives slowly allow companies more and more power and the fake world where when it happens they suddenly blame Obama for it. Sigh. For the record my local Costco has more than its share of conservative authors on display. Its almost like they just think Dinesh is a totally insane asshat and not because they won't hawk anything they think will move in volume.

Suddenly the right does no like corporations (which are sovereign people in the their minds) exercising their free will.
