haha essentially no one in a chain bookstore gives a shit about the dude's politics. front-of-store placement is driven by how many copies have been ordered/how much co-op money the publisher has spent, none of which goes on at the store level. no one outside of ny/dc stocked the book in huge quantities because no one knows or cares who jonah goldberg is. if he were a tall blond chick with an adam's apple, they'd stock more because that shit sells. for such a tough guy he sure loves playing the victim

>>'Dachau hosted the world's largest alternative and organic medicine >>research lab and produced its own organic honey.'
This is the kind of lunatic statement which editors simply don't have the guts to decline to publish.
Actually, from the pages I've seen excerpted, you could simply take out all the references to liberals and his usual targets and substitute Republicans and it would work the same way.
F'r instance: Dachau played host to the most advanced, if unsanctioned, medical techniques in the west. It is well known that many people in the Republican party benefit from and support the cutting edge practice of medicine.
It's astonishing to me that the LA Times hasn't fired him from its editorial pages. It won't stand for anyone being called names and putting about half the population of the country in the same league as Nazis would seem to broadly fit the paper's list of no-no's. By his screwy book, many Jews in the entertainment industry must be closet Nazis, too.

A plaque with 'Shalom' written inside a Star of David would hardly attract notice; a plaque with 'Usury' written inside the same symbol would be an outrage.
yes, this is exactly the same thing and completely destroys the blood libel of the darwin fish.
But the most annoying aspect of the Darwin fish is the false bravado it represents. It's a courageous pose without consequence.
thank god nobody on the right has ever bought a bumper sticker, flag ribbon or magnetic american flag and just slapped it on their car.
Like so much other Christian-baiting in American popular culture, sporting your Darwin fish is a way to speak truth to power on the cheap.
speaking truth to power is just awful.

If you want a sense of how popular I am with the LA Times community, check out the (354 and counting) comments to my Obama national service column.
One small point in response (I know, I know: Why bother?). The 13th amendment lists involuntary servitude and slavery as different things. If they were the same, the founders wouldn't have wasted the ink repeating themselves.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 10 July 2008 00:06 (4 years ago) Permalink
A couple of days ago re a certain dead former Senator:
Am I saying that Helms became colorblind simply by virtue of being baptized into the Republican Party? Of course not. But he was pretty well constrained to the limits of what the GOP would allow. Nonetheless, conservatives have a heavier burden to speak clearly on these issues. But in response too Helms' death, we chose kindness over a more honest accounting.

And apologizes:
Just to stop the flow of e-mail, let me say it up here as well. Last night, writing in haste I referred to the authors of the 13th amendment as the "founders." Obviously, this was an error — the founders had moved on to better things by then. Not that the angry e-mailers will believe me, but it was merely a typing error. I did actually know that the amendment that ended slavery was written around the time, you know, slavery ended.
