It's on the NYTimes' best seller list they can't review it?
I haven’t read the book but found this interesting:
Without ever having been reviewed by either the New York Times or the Washington Post, Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto has now sold one million copies, according to its publisher, Threshold Editions.
Levin is a nationally syndicated radio host, president of the Landmark Legal Foundation, and served as chief of staff to Atty. Gen. Ed Meese in the Reagan Justice Department.
Liberty and Tyranny has been riding high on non-fiction bestseller lists ever since it was released in late March. It debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best seller list and has remained in the Top Ten on that list for 24 straight weeks. It is currently No. 7. (Levin’s previous two books, Men in Black: How the Supeme Court is Destroying America and Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover’s Story of Joy and Anguish, were also New York Times best sellers.)
Despite Liberty and Tyranny’s tremendous sales and high-ranking on the Times’ best seller list, the Times itself has never reviewed the book, only giving it a few blurbs in its ‘Inside the List” feature that runs in the Sunday edition.
The Washington Post has also never reviewed the book.
Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto lays out a vision for America that is rooted in the Constitution and in the Founding Fathers’ vision of strictly limited government and individual self-reliance. As such, its message stands in stark contrast to the agenda being advanced by President Barack Obama, which includes a government takeover of General Motors and a government makeover of the entire U.S. health care system.

David Frum, a conservative journalist and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, has criticized Levin’s confrontational approach as an example of an “increasingly angry tone of incitement being heard from right-of-center broadcasters” and has accused him of contributing to an atmosphere that “invites, incites, and prepares a prefabricated justification for violence.”
So, ‘silence’ the man…with the archaic and Orientalist approach…
Not censor him…but silence him..))!

Only 1 million books sold. Sounds like no one is listening. It is hard to silence someone if you are the New York Times, and your business is failing miserably and you become more and more irrelevant every year. The New York Times should be less worried about silencing Mark Levin, and start focusing on how they are silencing themselves.

Harrison, I have read the book and enjoyed it a lot. Since I trust you are a supporter of the Constitution and the founders, you owe it to yourself to read it.

This book is great. You should definitely read it.
I posted on this phenomena as well. It is so odd how so many conservative books are hitting the top of the NYT best sellers list with absolutely no coverage whatsoever in the media.
