No Mystery, Just Bad Reviews and Inept Publishing
The saga of one of the shortest book lives on Amazon is: "Maybe He's NOT
Gay" by Mission America's Linda Harvey was pulled from Amazon less than
week after its debut. In what seemed to be a possible "Duck Dynasty"
censorship hitting the book world, the MSM took to the laptops and declared
that Amazon had pulled the book because of cries from the LGBT community.
One comment:
"That Amazon.com would sell such a potentially dangerous book full of anti-gay propaganda to an already at-risk group of LGBT youth and their parents by a well known radical hate group leader is beyond disgusting."
But in this corner:
"Linda is one of my heroes in the pro-family Christian movement. She is a former journalist and media executive who now is a sought after speaker and hosts a national radio show based out of Ohio. Hidden within this attractive, professional woman, is a real stick of dynamite. She has more courage in one pinky finger than many people have in their whole body. She isn't easily intimidated and doesn't back away from a debate over truth with anyone. Linda chose to pull her book from Amazon. Homosexual activists have quickly twisted that into a lie that Amazon pulled the book because of its harmful or inaccurate content."
Unfortunately, Ms. Harvey seems to have backed
away from a debate over truth" with this book. She didn't have the courage
to stick things out long enough for good reviews from her fans.
"Harvey, author of the book and head of the Ohio-based conservative organization Mission America, told The Christian Post on Friday that it was removed from the website at her request.
"I saw the rotten reviews, a smear campaign by those who had not read the book, and the publisher attempted to get Amazon to pull the ad hominem reviews, but they were not immediately responsive," said Harvey.
"So, since the book is brand new and I didn't want it to be harmed by this uninformed and vicious campaign stimulated by 'gay' bloggers, I decided to pull the page for now."
And on other
sites:
"And these hysteria-generators dredged up every fabrication about Mission America that's ever been written, and then the pink mob descended on the book page on Amazon and without having read the book, wrote vicious, insulting reviews."
Mystery Solved: Harvey Is Totally Inept At Publishing
So was Amazon really at fault for the book being pulled, torpedoing the book by
publishing (purposely) the worst reviews? Who were those ad hominem
reviewers/bloggers? Was Micah Clark of the Christian Post (above) right in
saying that homosexual activists "twisted ...into a lie that Amazon pulled
the book"? This episode in anti-gay/anti-Christian animus raises a lot of
questions.
