Nowhere did I say that bulk sales to Townhall.com should be discounted compared to real sales to individuals paying their own hard-earned money. That would be like saying that the fact that the previous-generation Chevy Malibu (not the nice new ones) wasn't competitive with the Honda Accord just because it was mostly sold to fleets (government, rental, etc.). I'm going to go ahead and admit that Glen's book is probably every bit as good a book as those old Malibus were good cars.

In your latest, you're contesting their best seller status, saying that Townhall.com is buying up all the copies of Common Sense (the reason for its success, of course!), and implying that the New York Times is lying about its best seller list, which would be odd in the cases of Beck or Levin, since it won't review books by either author. You're not making much sense. But Blarty, your original post (#42) was saying that no one was buying the books and that they had to be given away, a fact which is demonstrably false.
