They're deleting "reviews" by people who haven't read the book and who are using the review page as a forum to voice their dogmatic approach to "reading" -- read what someone else says about it, despite their lies, and decide without reading it yourself.

It's common practice on Amazon (and has always been) to delete comments that are abusive, outright attacks based on lies or for reviews given by people that have plainly not read the book.
More fearmongering by the GOP. Based on lies as always.-

Such was my surmise - plenty of one-star reviews left unmolested, including one by a guy who conceded he hadn't read the book.
When I read book reviews, I am interested in a critique of the book and itst content - but I get the picture that the deleted reviews were on the order of "Nancy sux" without any input on the book itself. If such is the case, it points to trolling and abuse of process and such comments SHOULD be deleted.
OTOH, maybe Amazon went to a great deal of trouble to delete some one star reviews, leave others, all for the dubious benefit of raising a rating from one star to two. I doubt it.-

Finally, a functioning synapse! This is like a Rush Limbaugh argument. There is really nothing there but if you artfully spin this nothing you can create the idea of impropriety. Not actual impropriety just the insinuation. That is enough to get FSU Grad or AG stirred up. It's the way they are used to thinking. The hatred rises quickly. May the great FSM forgive them!

Dude,

How about her book sucks based on actual sales? I think you're missing the big picture....
Have you read it, Dionys?
Probably not...You're still finishing up one of Al Franken's rags.....Like "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell them..."
Wait....Wasn't that a book about Osama ? Maybe Ted Kennedy ?-

Franken's books are terrible. So are O'Reilly's, Coulter's, and Limbaugh's. You learn nothing from reading such tripe!

And you can be sure the remarks on Pelosi's books violate the Terms of Agreement you sign when you join Amazon. That's why they are being removed.
Have you purchased this one?

Should be in the humor section. You can get a copy for $1.20 but thats still a ripoff! -

Reading comprehension problem again FSU. Dionys never claimed she read the book. She explained the basis Amazon was likely using for deleting unfavorable and possibly favorable comments because it was obvious to the Amazon people that the commentors never read the book.

Its their site and they can call the shots.
And by the way your "Dude" comment makes you look like a teenager.

Why don't you contact Amazon and ask them? Just sign in , go to Help and select Contact Us in the right hand column?

I am quite sure they will tell you the comments were removed for Violation of Terms of Use. No different than if I said, "Celine Dion S*CKS!" That too would be removed. End of story! Next point, FSU Grad?
Propeller is pretty free about allowing hatred, other sites are not so friendly toward such cods wallop! -

Frankly, I wish Propeller would delete all the users who clogged up the site all this past year bitching about how horrible a liberal McCain is and who now are clogging it up lying through their teeth (about how he's wonderful and so much better than Obama) as if anyone believes cons have any clue what it means to be truthful or to have integrity. But I guess the site would suddenly lose thousands of hits per day as its membership leveled off because of the exodus of riff raff. Oh well...

exodus of riff raff Adioski Messo. :-) See yas, I'd say it was nice but...... I hear that other site needs members and they'd love the way you think and would gladly throw people off the site you decide you want off, Cuz they'd know Da Man when they see him post the glorious way you do.

slate. you don't have any proof of that happening here on propeller because it hasn't happened so why do you keep using that same tired response? I've dragged out countless posts of your con brethren (many of them are posting on this very thread) referring to McCain as the most despicable kind of liberal on the planet and here they are wallowing around as part of the right wing sleaze attack machine. All you can do is bring up the crap that was whipped up by Hannity and Rush in the first place. So I challenge you again. Haul out ALLLL those examples of liberals spewing hatred about Obama then and singing his praises now and I'lll raise you every time. You won't be able to do it. So stop repeating your BS because you're really getting boring. Put up or SHUT UP!

Hum interesting, so I checked.
The notion that “They're deleting "reviews" by people who haven't read the book” doesn’t hold water.
Of the 9 reviews with a 5 star rating I found these gems.
“My first two reviews were removed. What I said was she does not know the price of a gallon of gas (True), can't end the war (True), and Claims she has never had any plastic work done (True). And the trout eyes are only for star navigation (Not True”
Note: Didn’t read the book but his neg reviews were pulled. Wrote same review with 5 stars stays up.
“A Tour De Force! Magnificent! Bravo! Red Meat for the wimpy liberal! I must submit that this "courageous" "wo"man has written the most wonderful, insightful and comedic work since Voltaire's Candide.”
Most likely didn’t read it but it’s a Neg review with a 5 star rating
“Obviously no one who is writing these reviews has read the book. They just don't like Speaker Pelosi's politics. My seventeen year old daughter Vivian admires Nancy Pelosi”
This woman also didn’t read the book but gave it a 5 star rating.
Nancy’s book had
9 reviews that were 5 star
1 review that was 4 star
26 reviews that were 1 star
I looked up Hannity’s book and found 1,672 reviews
471 reviews at 1 star.
If ya read some of them its obvious that a lot of em never read Hannity’s book as well.
“They're deleting "reviews" by people who haven't read the book” just doesn’t fly unless it’s something they are doing just for Nancy’s book.

Well since you mentioned it (if only in jest), IMO, that's fine for words that can *only* be considered profane (the "F" word and the word that is a synonym for excrement, for example) but my main concern is about consistency. Some words that can be used in non profane ways are apparently exempt and others not. The "b" word (aka female dog) is allowed but not the "b" word (aka illegitimate child). I can say Cheney's first name but I can't mention a certain barnyard fowl or describe in detail how a gun is fired. I guess I'm lucky that we've have no shortage of words to describe someone who is easy but being restricted to decribing Katherine Harris as a "trollop" or a "prostitute" or a "tramp" is torture and just a tad Ricardo-esque. And don't get me started on why I can't use clinical terms like cyber___ etc. Oh well...Maybe I should be reading a book or cleaning behind my refrigerator right now anyway. ;-I
