Red State.com rips-off Tea Party Patriots, Evangelical & Conservative followers
On its website, Redstate.com claims it is the most widely read right of center blog on Capitol Hill, is the most often cited right of center blog in the media, and is widely considered one of the most influential voices of the grassroots on the right.
What RedState.com is really good at is bilking its followers/viewers by charging outrageous prices for books on its website under “The Conservative Book Club,” which states “Conservatives serving Conservatives for 40 years.”
As you’ll see below, Redstate.com charges as much as $20 for books that can be bought at Amazon.com for $0.01 (one penny). Even though Redstate.com is admittedly a “for profit” organization,” this type of conduct is unconscionable. This conduct would be equally disturbing if it involved a left-wing organization.
On their websites, conservative personalities Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee send the viewers/followers to Amazon.com to purchase books listed on their sites.
You can agree or disagree with the stated policies or goals of RedState.com. In cheerfully bilking its followers/viewers, RedState.com gives hypocrisy a bad name when it claims to be the “most influential voice of the grassroots on the right. Gotta wonder how many of these grassroot folks will feel when they discover they’ve been bilked by these phonies.
The Textboxes below are listed under separate headings. The last column “Patriots Save” is the specific amount that RedState.com has the audacity to list as “You Save” under the price it charges for books. Quit e some savings if ya know what I’m saying. At a minimum, RedState.com should provide a 50% off coupon for the next purchase of Prep H to their victims.
And lastly, the phonies that operate and profit from operating the RedState.com enterprise are nothing more than bottom-feeders who delight in falsely portraying themselves as representatives of the conservative/Tea Party movement.
