Will the NY Times and Wash Post report this?

teenlaqueefa · May 14, 2015, 2:35pm

So is it 7 or 8 corrections?

I’m guessing this book of fiction wasn’t proofread and/or edited before it was published?

Alright…time to recall his book and pulp it. That’s bad research and it indicates that he’s willing to publish anything that makes the Clintons look bad whether or not it is accurate, truthful or even real.

Only 7-8? He must be a RINO. A “severe conservative” would have easily topped 100.

Now, if TPM gets rid of the damn Clinton Cash banner ad across the top of the home page that magically opens when your mouse moves across it, I’ll be satisfied.

Obviously. a liberal plot has moved the correction goalposts away from punctuation and spelling and made facts fungible.

Liars lie. When caught in lies, liars lie.

End of story.

Of course he is. My god, he wrote a book about how Disney is making American gay. One of his main points? That they usually have a female inside of Mickey Mouse (because its a smaller costume) so that means they are promoting transgenderism!!

artemisia · May 14, 2015, 2:56pm

And now I’m left wondering why people are even bothering to hype this man’s book…yuck. Pond scum has more ethics than he does.

teenlaqueefa · May 14, 2015, 2:58pm

Liar lied, trees died.

Yes, but should the fact-checkers at Harper-Collins really stand in the way of including these valuable insights into the Clinton Dynasty (since Bill had two terms), from being used in the forthcoming Impeachment proceedings? They have to get started early if they want to remove Hillary from office before her second term, much less the Primaries.

"This global fix may have made the changes appear more extensive than they were.”

Do these corrections make my ass look fat?

Wait 'til Jerome Corsi’s book comes out. He will never back down like this.

That’s simply incredible, especially when one considers that 41% of transgender people attempt suicide. In other words, not exactly the kind of thing that anyone would “promote”.

(FWIW, I attempted to be a guy for 44 years, but instead I just became an alcoholic. I finally accepted myself last November.)

No surprise and as planned, these corrections will barely see the light of day. I would bet during the Presidential debates, some of these unfounded “facts” will be brought up again without correction. I would also bet that it’s been a few weeks, which means another fake GOP-created “scandal” will emerge and the entire media establishment will run with it as always.

counter_coulter · May 14, 2015, 3:16pm

Because…QUESTIONS!

whatithink · May 14, 2015, 3:16pm

Fuck you HarperCollins for even publishing this drivel.

jinmichigan · May 14, 2015, 3:28pm

So now the book is down to 20 pages.

artemisia · May 14, 2015, 3:31pm

You mean the ones that the GOP make up in order to cover their own ineptitude?

counter_coulter · May 14, 2015, 3:36pm

No. I’m really talking about the FoxNews M.O.: “While we have no direct evidence of any wrong doing, the ‘optics’ of [insert faux scandal here] raises a lot of questions”

That summarizes every interview/discussion of Schweizer’s book.
