Soros-tied authors launch bid to dislodge conservative best-selling books

The national media doesn’t want to talk about the dominance of conservative books atop the New York Times best-seller list and other national lists.
But it’s clearly getting under the Left’s skin.
At HuffPo, a Soros-tied co-author has launched a bid to dislodge conservative authors — and he’s asking for help from every last nutroots activist out there.
The book that will save America from us evil right-wing extremists and rescue the Democrat agenda from oblivion?
50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America!
Look, Obama-bots: The book has the weighty endorsements of starlets, rappers, and yes, Teddy Kennedy.
“This book is a great resource to help the President change America by encouraging young people to embrace their civic responsibilities. During his campaign, Obama empowered all of us to take part in initiating change and it’s imperative that we keep that momentum going by involving the next generation.”
—Jessica Alba
“One way to keep America changing and stimulate the economy is advancing the arts…and in this new era of technology, new media, and the new world of how information is shared…a new “art form” needs to be developed…This book provides simple ways to use the arts and other means for making change.”
—Will.I.Am, Black Eyed Peas
“In 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America, Michael Huttner and Jason Salzman have given us a practical handbook on how every American can do something for our country. This should be required reading for anyone interested in making a difference and helping President Obama get our nation back on track.”
–The late Senator Edward M. Kennedy
Co-author Michael Huttner urges his fellow Obama cultists to buy the book so they, too, can be inspired to “help Obama pass health care reform, enact other core campaign promises, and move the country forward.”
And the bribe?
It never hurts to offer a little incentive, especially if your incentive has the potential to drive extreme right wingers crazy, so among our prizes is a grand-prize of a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii for a private tour of the hospital where President Obama was born, followed by an opportunity to take part in a community service project there on MLK Day of Service, January 18, 2010.
Submit stories and ideas on how people can help Obama change America for the better. Anyone is welcome to enter by sending us their stories by September 30. The winners will be announced on November 4, 2009 – one year to the day that Obama gave his memorable victory speech in Chicago.
…The contest and book are designed to inspire more people to help–at a time when progressive values are under serious attack in Washington and across the nation.
“Under serious attack” apparently means under attack on the NYTimes book lists:
In its small way, we hope our book and contest will advance Kennedy’s vision of progressive reform in America. And we also hope it contributes to changing the dialogue in this country, at a time when it’s beginning to look a little too much like the Bush era with books by right-wingers Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly topping this week’s national bestsellers list.
Something in the air tells us that in the next few months, progressives will make their voices heard even louder than they did during the campaign. Let’s get fired up, ready to go.
Translation: Please buy our book. Get those awful conservatives off our turf. Do it for Teddy!
***
Huttner is the founder of “Progress Now” – a Democrat group of non-profit satellites funded with start-up money from billionaire George Soros and the Democracy Alliance — whose board members include SEIU International Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger and ACORN embezzlement cover-upper Drummond Pike.
This is what left-wing “grass-roots” look like:

Oh no! Not Jessica Alba! (sob!)
And which fargin hospital would that be?
WAIT! WAIT! THERE HAS BEEN A MISTAKE!
This book is supposed to be small enough to fit in your vest pocket, and covered with a 100% red cover. You can buy them in Beijing. They sell them everywhere…
All us racists need to ban TACO BELL. They are at the top of the chart with Rob Mckay as their leader!
The continued rotting of the midwest and I used to live there. What a poor excuse.
Order today and get a free copy of Nancy Pelosi’s “Know Your Power.” Actually, a dozen copies. Two dozen?
You want to tour a hospital? How about Walter Reed to visit our wounded? Or maybe give them a real insight into how the VA healthcare system is run by giving them a tour of a local VA hospital complete with a complimentary colesotomy.
Just to be clear Walter Reed is an active duty health care facility and not associated with the VA, which is why it is so much better. So good in fact that I think it closes next year and everything gets moved to Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Liberals can read??? There are only 50 ways to help BHO??? I’m sure those 50 ways would fit on an index card. Good luck libs, this administration is stinking and sinking under it’s own weight.
????
They don’t have a snowball’s chance to overtake the conservative books. We outnumber them! The only way they can make the bestseller list is if Soros buys them all up. And I wouldn’t put it past him.
dumb libtards
Hey, I’ll bet this book makes a great doorstop. or maybe it will help level a chair properly, or heck, maybe you could even use it as survival toilet paper…. The only reason I’d read this crap is because it’s important to know your enemy and the people listed above are clearly enemies of the Republic, real American Values, and Freedom.
Buy our (coloring) book and we’ll supply you with your very own armband to wear when you “get fired up”!!
Now that was funny!!
Awwww, what has she done? Me thinks she’s just like the rest of Hollywood, they were very visible before he was elected and now they’ve disappeared.
Fodder for the $1 book bin.
So does the runner-up win 4 tickets?
I’m pretty sure if I took my wife on a trip to Hawaii and she had to spend her vacation time walking around some hospital and volunteering picking up trash it would result in the following conversation:
“But dear, this is where Dear Leader was born. And he expects us to spend our vacation serving others. Plus MO would be so proud.”
“Goodbye dear. I’m taking the kids with me”
The ‘Will.I.Am’ nonsense sounds an awful lot like dialogue from ‘Fear of a Black Hat’.

Why do lefties have to bribe voters with promises of freebies, pay protesters to show up and now try and buy the book slots. It’s just weird that ;lefties pay for what should be free, unless of course left to it’s own, no one would show …
They’re going from despicable and idiotic to blatantly desperate scum.
I don’t know whether to laugh or shout at these fools.
Write something of truth with verifiable facts and maybe someone will buy it. Pelosi tried the obama/lefty/liberal/liars way and sold like 2000 books (total).
LEARN, try reality you fools.
Maybe the left should stick to reading, no one but themselves (and teddy)care what they think..
My wife and I have always been in the Taco Bueno camp. Taco Bell is a joke compared to Bueno. This is another reason to never go to Taco Bell.
Just so you don’t actually buy a copy and help their ratings!!
Ha Ha, my first thought was – Gee, I would love to get into the Records Department un-noticed for a little bit. Or maybe they will have the birth long form of the TOTUS enshrined behind glass in the Labor & Delivery Waiting Room. Don’t forget to stop by the Gift Shop for your Obama Action Figure!!!
Well, it made me chuckle anyway…..
Is this a graphic book? Because if their target audience has a reading comprehension level above a 2 year old, they won’t buy this crap. I wonder if how much of our tax dollars will go to support this publication?
Damned typos. I guess my comment above will be usefull fodder for the resident trolls.
Michelle says:
– Funny, the resemblance seems more like what I have to police up off my lawn before I mow it.
If the pages are soft & price is right it should be ok for the outhouse…….
Michelle and everyone commenting
keep an eye on your local bookstore and how this book is presented I bet it will have its own section with table lamps and ez chairs. While michelles,becks,oreillys,and all other conservative books will be buried on backshelves and yet will still out sell this POC
I’d never spend a dime on these twits… I hope they stew in their own juices come 2010. I was just stating a Sun Tzuism….
ooOoOOooO
privy papers
Wait a minute – do they mean to say they are giving a tour of a hospital in Kenya – in addition to a trip to Hawaii?
Such a deal!
By dying off before burdening scarce health care resources?
By letting the government control your lives?
By letting your ‘wealth’ be ‘redistributed’?
By not making ‘obscene’ profits?
robm1981, very good! the chappaquidick driving tour by theodore kennedy and the tales of the swimming pool parties by jack kennedy also come to mind.
Yawn.
Soros..um, yeah…
What a great American success story, but he can’t do anything but hate the country that allowed him to succeed? He, like many on the left mouthing their love of America, suffer from loophole madness, which compels them to incorporate businesses “off-shore” to avoid our progressive tax rates, and to keep them out of the grasp of “greedy” politicians.
Soros is heavily invested in Halliburton (oh, the horror!), but the leftie-loons don’t talk about that…as long as the money from him keeps flowing to their coffers….
…like get a job. Oh wait, there are no jobs? Porkulus failed? Jessica Alba is out of touch.
advancing the arts?!?! Will.I.Am. has lost his freaking mind.
This guy is now irrelevant.
…And the #1 way Obama can change America: Resign.
Is this published by Marvel Comics? Super Heroes don’t ya know!

The first thing I thought of was that someone can do a parody of the Paul Simon song “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”.
I wonder how long it will be before Soros and his minions themselves simply buy up mega-bunches of socialist books to catapult them to high positions on bestseller lists.
I am not sure Obama supporters are what you would call book readers….just sayin, I am sure they enter contest all the time but not where they are required to participate past buying the ticket… The kind of Obama supporters who can be found outside of places like “Home Depot” who like to spend their disposable income on cigarettes and lotto tickets. Try not to confuse them huff po, they like the no purchase necessary to enter.
Isn’t this the same type of title and format used for children’s books? Are we to understand from this title and this book that the people who support and voted for this megalomaniac have no idea how to be supporters? Are they admitting by putting this book out that people blindly followed him, voting a man into office that they knew nothing about? Knew nothing aboit what he wanted to do let alone how to accomplish any of the insane things he has been and will be proposing?
Well, always wanting to be a helpful person, I have the solution for them. I have the solution to the quedtion of what to do to help B. Hussein Obama make America a truly great and wonderful place we can all be proud of:
Have B. Hussein Obama, Joeseph Biden, his entire cabinet and every single one of his appoitees, every single Congressperson and Senator who voted to pass the Stimulous Package and any other of his proposals RESIGN IMMEDIATELY but not before authorizing a special election in which the people can then decide, after havingvthis painful and wxpensive lesson, on who will replace them, after all candidates have had their statys as American citizens certified.
Well, what can I say? The left are getting desparate…and what will anyone bet when these tracts bomb on the bestseller lists, they will demand censorship and the Fairness Doctrine?
Coming soon:
“Grass Roots Organizing for Dummies”
I seem to recall some org bought up copies of Hillary Clinton’s Living History so it would make it look like a success…am I mis remembering or has this ploy been tried before?
Desperation: The world’s worst perfume
where’s the pukey icon….dribble at its worst….the title should be:
50 Ways you can expose alibama and his forty-four thieves by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and forward by Dick Morris….
I am SO friggin’ tired of hearing about “young people.”
Any Liberal book can always be found, after 2 weeks on the bottom of any bad seller list, in the bargin section at Cosco or Sams Club. After gathering dust they are usually sent to a re-cycling center.
That picture of Obama only makes him look younger and more juvenile. The glow is off, and People no longer want to help Obama do ANYTHING. I have had people who voted for him ask me how could they have possibly been so wrong about the guy.
I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that you’ll find this in the bargain books section of your favorite Barnes & Noble in about 3 months. Cheap.
Stillontheroad you beat me to the punch. Great minds think alike!
A hospital? Just another example of Obamabots worshiping The One. Presidential libraries or childhood homes were once enough for the curious voyager.
Wow! A private tour of the manger, I mean hospital, where the Chosen One was born! Do you have to provide your own gold, frankincense and myrrh?
Is the hospital still functioning? Just in time for Swine Flu season…brilliant.
…and as your the second part of your Special Prize, you get to perform Community Service in the name of the Great God Barack! We will even give you a free Obama WorkCorps armband for your very own as you knock on doors and pass out copies of His Sermon on the Mount of Denver Stadium before the Temple of Zeus.
COOL!
Time for me to buy a new book. No, 2 or 3 copies, one for me and a couple to share.
“Culture Of Corruption”
Please please please say this book is on Amazon so we can all review it fairly and accurately, just like the lefties review Michelle Malkin’s books and any other books written by conservatives.
And can we get someone to write lyrics to ’50 Ways to Help Obama’ to the melody of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon?
-Vote for Free Choice, Joyce
-Get out of Iraq, Jack
-It’s Bush’s fault, Walt
Sounds like the judges will exclude certain kinds of people from consideration. No thanks. Too bad, because I always wanted to go to Hawaii touring hospitals and picking up trash along the freeway.
Sorry, Aunt Zeituni. You’re not “anyone.”
“….a private tour of the hospital where President Obama was born, followed by an opportunity to take part in a community service project there on MLK Day of Service, January 18, 2010.”
Only a braindead Obamabot would consider this a great vacation.
They ought to re-title it “50 Ways You Can Literally Run America into The Ground, and Call It Helping Obama Change America.” It is interesting how they infer that regarding Obama changing America is actually good for the country. It would be like if someone called the process of chopping down a tree is “good for the tree.”
You can lead a lefty to Amazon but you can’t make him fork out the $$’s to buy a new book!
Epic fail.
I smell a new government progam. Steal a copy of Michelle’s book from the library and trade it in for this Obama Clunker book.— And a pack of smokes. (ACORN would be running the program)
Taco Bell the only joint to win the fast food wars in “Demolition Man”?
Libs write the scripts…
I have one way bho can help America, resign! And while you are at, take your team with you.
We are really enjoying your book Michelle.

Well, recently in Oklahoma City while she was there for on location movie stuff, she got caught vandalising electrical boxes and billboards with some stupid shark posters. I guess pretty doesn’t make up for stupid.

C’mon folks, now let’s take this seriously. We should be able to come up with a thousand ways we can help Obama change America for the better. Show the same spirit you showed in turning yourselves in to the snitch site. Just a few ideas off the top of my head: 1) Impeach Harry Reid. 2) Impeach Nancy Pelosi. 3) Impeach Joe Biden (OK, OK, he hasn’t done anything much yet, but he might). 4) Ban government employees from joining unions. 5) Pass tort reform. etc, etc, etc.
Get those card and letters in, boys and girls, let’s help Obama get America back to what the founders had in mind!
Thank you RetFireman! Well done.
Thanks tiredofit08 for the amazon link. I don’t have time for a full review right now, but I do have time to mess around with the Tags. I see someone has helpfully tagged this book ‘propaganda’ and ‘idiocracy.’
We tagged the heck out of Blago’s book. Time to get to work on this one.
There are also 50 ways to leave your lover…
All the talking points in the world will not woo America back to Barack.
There used to be a local used/new book seller who had a gigantic warehouse. The owner bought inventory that stores couldn’t sell. The Poli Sci section was always filled with unsold copies of books by and about Libs. I used to think that’s because no one wanted to buy them. Then it occurred to me that someone was buying truckloads of copies in order to pump up sales figures and then dumping the unwanted dreck on the secondhand market. Don’t be surprised if this book goes to #1… all those sold copies will be sitting in George Soros’s backyard.
Why apologize? Your lyrics are every bit as good as the original.
Profiles in Corruption could give you a run.
Anything by Nancy Pelosi or Baba “Please call me Senator” Boxer should make it into the top 350,000.

50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America?
I can think of one
Ooooh I’m so jelous that some lucky person will get to see the hospital where 0bama was born. Not.
And can someone explain how funding the arts will help the economy? Last check you need a job to be able to buy art.
Glenn Beck’s book was priced low (it was also a very tiny book) and buyers were requested to buy multiple copies to send on and to also share theirs with others. Great marketing plan. Sooo, buy multiple copies of MM’s book and also share yours with friends or relatives. Call your local libraries too and inquire if they are going to stock her book? More than one way to skin a cat, if you’re into that sort of thing – & if you are you’re a pervert.
Hey, don’t knock it. If Obamacare passes, this may be your only chance to see the inside of a hospital ever again.
The only way a liberal can hit the best seller list would be if Soros buys all available copies.
Most of the Liberals already know what there is to about any topic. They won’t waste time reading.
The remaining Liberals are unable to read or comprehend, since they are educated by their masters in Public Schools.
#70 post of the day!!!!
Suggested titles to help move the product:
“Steal This Book!”
“Ways You Can Help 50 Naked Girls Help Obama Change America”

Wait a minute! Thought of another title:
“Culture of Corruption” by Michelle Malkin… autographed edition
Oops, I didn’t realize that #70 had hit on the 50 ways to leave your lover theme.
How many books did Pelosi sell,anyone know? need something to set the standard by.
This could do for liberal publishing what “Air America” did for liberal radio. It is so expensive to sell cancer isn’t it?
I believe you are quite correct.
That’s the main reason why I posted what I did above.

This whole thing has the heavy scent of desperation. Hardly worth buying to read a bunch of whiners. If “they won” then why are they trying so hard?
BWHAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks Will.I.Am I needed a good laugh!
There is a large minority in our country that has come together here from all over the world. They have very little in common and they don’t spend any time together outside of their jobs.
But one thing they all have in common is that they are used to being told by a heavy-handed government what they can and cannot do, where they can and cannot go, how long they can stay and when they have to leave.
To them ‘bama and his social-fascism is nothing new nor does it seem particularly oppressive at this point because its still in the beginning phases of its implementation.
They see all the bright pretties in the department stores and the luscious edibles in the supermarkets. And they are being told by the current group of DC cesspool dwellers that if you come over to my side and work with me (‘bama) then everything else needed for your life, beginning with medical care will be free or greatly reduced in cost because its your “RIGHT” as Americans. And make no mistake you are Americans or soon will be at no cost or effort on your part. Remember, ‘bama can make it happen.
All these people groups must, at some point in the future assimilate into one group or this land will end up like what we see now in the Middle East: Feudalism, run by warlords.
Right now we see it in the gangs of the inner cities, blacks against the browns against the whites against any color in between who wants to join the ruckus.
‘bama is trying to force us in the direction to make it happen soon–here’s how you can help us get there.
