Ann Coulter's Book Sales Down

Portfolio:

Though never exactly shy, Ann Coulter has been especially noisy in her self-promotion lately, inventing a beef with NBC News, arguing with Keith Olbermann over the meaning of a Cornell degree and taking her act on the road with Bill Maher as foil. Could it be because she's worried she's losing our attention?

Coulter's latest book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, is something of a misfire by Coulterian standards. Of course, what constitutes a disappointment for Coulter would be a mega-hit for most authors; in its two months on sale, Guilty has sold 100,500 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan (a number that only reflects around 70 percent of actual sales).

Ann Coulter has been writing the same freak-show rants from the start. Most people have figured out she has nothing new to say. She'll be off the media radar before you know it.

"I know they say that when you write for the masses you should strive for an 8th grade level vocabulary, but Ann must have lowered the standards a bit realizing she would be writing exclusively for an audience of right-wing conservati­ves."

[Jamie Kowalski]

That, or she simply couldn't manage to write at that high a level in the first place.

Excellent. Let's hope that shuts her up!

So in other words, donations to the GOP are down which means so are purchases of The Beast's book that are handed out with your donation of $200.00 or more?

The RNC bought most of them anyway to hand out to their "friends." They had to cut her from the budget when they bought Palin's clothes.

One telling observation: I noticed that those in our local Wal-Mart didn't sell. Poor folk who have no jobs, can't afford to buy books, I guess.

More likely poor folks who have no jobs know that Coulter contributed to their condition and have no need to read her screeds.

The RNC bought most of them anyway to hand out at their hate-filled gatherings (conventions, etc.). They had to cut her from the budget when they bought Palin's clothes.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! But, what really amazesme is that with all of Coulter's continual self-promotion of how she is more aware than other's of what is the pulse of America and she writes a book titled, Liberals are victims and they assault America? I mean, why didn't she just come out and say she wants the President of the U.S. to fail. Oh, yeah, that's been done.

Coulter's shock value is wearing off. Coulter has made millions making outrageous claims
against a wide ranging subjects and subject matter.

Civility is taking hold after 8 years of George W. Bush. Bush ushered in new role of violence
in the world through military action and discourse.

Oh really? I don't feel at ALL civil toward Coulter, or anyone on Fox for that matter.

[ztck5356]

Oh No! Now she will get even meaner and nastier (if possible) to sell books! Look out!

[kwinter]

She probably will. But it doesn't seem to be working as well these days. People are getting tired of it. I think the cons are even starting to feel a little embarrassed.

[ztck5356]

Yes! It seems to me this mean spirited stuff started back when the Clinton's were in the White House. I was so suprised by all the mean things the Republicans were saying about Hillary especially and the awful emails that started circulating and they did not call anybody on it and now it has snowballed. People are getting sick of it.

[JDHART]

Who cares?

[SCboy]

Finally, even conservatives are starting to realize that a little bit of her goes a long way.

[discourse jockey]

I think they're simply on a budget like everybody else and have prioritize -- and a coagulated Coulter rant should be pretty far down the list even for the most blinded of wingnuts.

[hortonhearsawho2]

So, no discount on hate, is that it...

[EndTheHumanWar]

Awwwwwwwww­w........
Ann's losing book sales!
Awwwwwwwww­ww........­.........
That poor, poor Ann Coulter!

[Misha1234]

It's comforting that America is tiring of this.

[Militant Leftist]

"Coulter Book Sales Down". In other words, reactionary, paranoid, right-wing, extremist drivel is in decline.

[kareemachan]

Yeesh, just reading the titles of her books was all the Coulter reading I wanted to do - they were nasty enough.
