Palin Book Frenzy Stuns Media

Remind us how Obama had nothing to do with his racist pastor that he spent 20 YEARS with. Now you go find some actual evidence that this professional woman has any such views.

What false claims did I make other than say she co-wrote a book with a white supremacist. When she was writing it, she had to indeed 'pal around' with him, wouldn't she? Do authors generally co-sign books together who are strangers?

She did co-author a book with a white supremacist.
That is the truth, whether you like it or not.

Nah... I think I'll stick to non-fiction. I'm very wary of "writers" who don't value reading, especially objective reading. I have no interest in what she has to say anyway.

And she (I think PPV is female) hasn't bothered answering my question either.

I don't think that's true at all. Many people across the board will buy that book. She's become a celeb.

Me, I'm too busy reading Diane Gabadon's new Outlander book.

Besides, I'm very, very afraid of Palin.

This one she didn't ghostwrite, she co-authored:

Gee, beyond the other highlights of his Freeper career, I don't know why anyone would think someone who said this would lean towards white supremacy:

“[T]he media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion."


And I did provide a link to a story on the man earlier. You'd know that if you read the thread.

Exactly. I don't buy other "celebrities'" books either. Maybe if more people in this country read (and thought about/discussed/debated - Shakespeare - and other profound works) in this country instead of lapping up this pap, we'd be in a better place competitively in the world.

I have more, if you like:

From LGF's:

"Robert Stacy McCain writes for VDARE and Takimag, two disgusting, openly racist websites. And he’s a friend of Richard Spencer, a self-avowed white nationalist.

McCain is a member of the white supremacist group League of the South, and he’s associated with the deeply racist American Renaissance. Check out any of these groups on the web, Stephen, and see if I’m exaggerating. You might want to start with Google’s cache of the American Renaissance website.
I don’t link directly to them because they’re a hate group.
There’s more information on Robert Stacy McCain here: Defending Dixie.

With the arrival of Assistant National Editor Robert Stacy McCain in 1997, the Times’ disassociation from the racism of American Renaissance became a distant memory. McCain, who wrote the story about Democrats and Dixie, has covered the group’s biannual conferences in 1998, 2000 and 2002, making the Times the only major American newspaper to devote news stories to American Renaissance. Since 1999, the Times has also reprinted at least six excerpts from American Renaissance in its page-2 culture section, never acknowledging the highly controversial nature of the source.

And here.
And here: Rebels With a Cause.

LOS member and Washington Times national reporter Robert Stacy McCain says in an essay posted on the League’s main site, slavery was “generally” characterized by “cordial and affectionate relations” between white and black Southerners.

UPDATE at 9/12/09 4:04:20 pm:
Here’s Robert Stacy McCain’s 2003 speech to the Sons of the Confederacy.

This we know: Our ancestors’ cause was just and their conduct was honorable.

Little Green Footballs - A Response to Stephen Green (With Link)

I'm sure there is a curiosity factor and some individuals will actually buy the book, but I still have My Pet Goat to get through first, and I suspect used book stores will have many copies by Christmas. Most copies will be purchased in mass to put the book on the NYT's best seller list and given to the faithful who attend tea parties and figurative lynchings. Of course journalists will buy a share simply to have one step up on the newer talking points for right wingnuts (assuming there will be at least that much substance in "Goiing Rogue" is likely a reach).

Later there will be a pop-up interactive version...big bold colors on the front -
open 'er up and there she is:
Sarah jumping out of an inaugural cake winking into your face,

further on
- a wheel that explodes AK47 Palin rounds from a helicopter splattering the wildlife below
...readers and children alike will howl at the push-me-pull-you page of Obama in Muslim garb which transforms into an apocalyptic Antichrist horned figure that wields a dashing serpents tongue and red googly eyes

...followed by the rolling movable wheelchair-pinwheel,


and when you pull the tab, grandma falls into a death chamber.

So what? She co-authored a book with a "vile man." Writers (ghost or otherwise) get paid for writing! That doesn't mean they espouse every topic they write about, otherwise all writers would approve of murder, abortion, racism, etc.

Lynn Vincent is obviously a talented writer with the ability to hone controversy into a best seller.

Damn, Sinatra.

How many Palin book threads are you going to make?

But we are the ones with the obsession, right?

Yup.

Gotta love capitalism!

Speaking for myself though, I don't know if I would want to have my name in co-author print alongside a White supremacist.

That's just me though.
