Glenn Beck Even Boosts Sales For “Evil” Books
Earlier this week Glenn Beck gave a ringing endorsement of A Patriot’s History of the United States – and subsequently boosted it to #1 on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
Well, on Wednesday he described “quite possibly the most evil thing I’ve ever read,” and guess what, the thing is flying off the shelf!
The book is The Coming Insurrection, and it was first published in 2007. It was written by “The Invisible Committee,” which sound like the bad guys in “Tea Party: The Movie.”
Here’s how Beck introduced the book during Wednesday’s show (he had mentioned it a few months ago as well), while holding it up:
I told you last summer read this book. It’s The Coming Insurrection. It’s by the Invisible Committee. This is quite possibly the most evil thing I’ve ever read and it’s about to play out in streets of Greece. It’s been played out in France. The story is written by 12 people. Some of them are in jail now over in Europe. They’re actual communists. They’ve been masquerading as democratic socialists.
And now the numbers. At the time he mentioned the book (5:13pmET on February 10), the edition of the book Beck held up was ranked #432 at Amazon and #20,609 at BN. 24 hours later, the book had moved up to #7 at Amazon and #14 at BN.
Right now it’s holding strong at 7 on Amazon and has slipped to 54 on BN, but still, you know, 20,500 more than it was before. By the way, the Amazon blurbs include a quote from Glenn Beck: “I am not calling for a ban on this book. It’s important that you read this book.”
Glynnis has made the case that Beck is the next Oprah. Even the “evil” books that get mentioned by Beck are graced with the Beck Bump.
Here’s the clip from Wednesday (Beck starts talking about the book toward the end):
