Review of Lynne Cheney's Book on Amazon--Follow Up

I had posted this a while back after my initial review of Lynne Cheney's book Our 50 States: A Family Adventure Across America and many of you added your thoughts to the many neo-cons who attacked me for it. Just thought you'd enjoy taking a return over there and see more of the bigotted drool that has been left, attacking the poor, libs, you name it!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/discussionboard/discussion.html/ref=cm_rdp_st_rd/102-0950607-1952946?ie=UTF 8&ASIN=0689867174&store=yourstore&cdThread=Tx3NSNJA6525BQI&reviewID=R3T7Y9PSH0M124&a mp;iid=0689867174&displayType=ReviewDetail ..was not received well in the comments section. I was called everything from a 'very sick person' to being told I should move to Iran. The funniest was being called a "Kool Aid" drinker by someone who probably slams down the powder first, followed by the water! Please check out what happens in Bush's America when you actually try to make a perfectly valid statement. Nasty attacks by the so-called 'family values' crowd. What next, a slap from the Corker campaign too? LOL!

•  This is why decent people

  find themselves voting liberal values, and for Dems, even if Dems aren't perfect.

  Republicans and Conservatives actually have an active ideology based upon exclusion, hatred, power, and greed.

  Democrats and Liberals have a philosophy based upon tolerance, acceptance, service, and a willingness to believe everyone is important.

•  Say the truth. Everyone who says the truth,

  that's like a little stream of water.

  Enough streams get together and you get a flood that washes away all the lies.

  •  That is just beautifully, beautifully spoken.

    •  nothing heated, nothing shouted

      just say the truth whenever you see a lie.

      very easy.

•  Judging this book by it's cover,..

  ...I believe your review has merit...

•  PS...

  ..is she the gay one?

  by bic momma on Tue Nov 07, 2006 at 10:11:32 AM PDT

  •  Maybe?

    She's the one who wrote the supposed "lesbian love scenes" in her previous best-seller, Sisters.

    Of course, if I woke up next to Darth every morning, I'd consider the alternatives too!

•  The truth hurts...

  And for them, it's excruciating...

  Their particular flavor of Kool Aid is an anesthetic... when the mind is numb, the body follows...

•  Irony

  I was called everything from a 'very sick person' to being told I should move to Iran.

  Ironically, you may actually be treated better in Iran, than here by some of our fellow Americans.

  I just got back and absolutely loved it!  Seriously.  The people are wonderful.

•  Well

  I really wonder what these people are like in the real world offline.

  •  They're fine,

    as long as the meds are adjusted correctly.

•  Here I thought...

  Lynne had written a sequel to Sisters. I trust her children's book is not erotica for repressed lesbians?

•  We should go review the book.

•  Rate up SternSieger's review

  The real koolaid drinker's are downrating it.

•  Alas, General J.C. Christian's review

  has disappeared.  His was also a great review and called for Ms. Cheney to sequelize the characters in her previous book "Sisters."

•  I should be GOTV, but first

  Thank you. Good for you, making your point and discussing the result here. Perfect organizing. Considering the responses you got it's pretty encouraging comparatively. So a few people think you need to go swim in billionaress Cheney's blood bath...most others were thoughtful.
