Question: How Many Books Did O'Reilly Actually Sell

[K8-EEE]

And how does that compare with his nemisis Al Franken...or Michael Moore?

It seems to me that Al & Michael's books stayed on the NYT & Amazon lists forever, while the Splotch was only on a couple of weeks.

Is there a source that says total units sold? I heard Michael Moore say that his last one sold more than Ann Coulter & O'liely combined.

1. Just bought O'Reilly's book...

It was in the Bestseller section at Borders and it's been like a month now.

5. WHA WHA WHA WHA...

2. It's O'Lielly, not O'liely.

Read: I need more posts.

3. what about worldwide?

I have no doubt that Franken and Moore's books outsold O'Lielly's in the US but I know that outside the US they MASSIVELY outsold him.

4. A friend said a RW religious nut case bought Ann Coulter books at the

dollar store to give as Christmas gifts. So, they're still selling.

6. There was something a while back about...

coulter and orielys' books having a star* after them on the best sellers list. This star means there were bulk orders placed. (read warehouse) I don't remember where I saw it, may have been in Frankens' book.

8. The New York Times Best Seller List

It was placed there just for Ann Coulter book "Treason".

11. that seems common with rightwing books

but on the New York Times list it's not an asterisk, it's a dagger that signifies bulk sales.

An asterisk (*) indicates that a book's sales are barely distinguishable from those of the book above. A dagger (+) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders.

12. Thank you are correct gold bug

7. He sold seven books

It was six before hippo-tron bought one...

All the rest were bought by his rich friends in caselots and used to heat their homes this winter.

9. Like all rightwing dirtbag phonies, Bill gives away books to his callers

what a f***ing pansy he is

10. He gets free publicity every time his show airs

the impact that Franken and Moore made was far far greater. I dont know the total units each sold, but I wouldnt be surprised if O'Reilly eventually passed them because of his show.
