Republicans are so mad at the Dr Seuss people for cancelling those 6 books they’re *checks notes* buying all the Dr Seuss books they can sending revenues soaring.
I would think that you have everyday people buying them up too. There are some people that may like the books or would want access to them and prefer not to be called a republican?

The stupid thing is that none of those are the books that the Seuss Estate voluntarily ceased publishing. Ted Crud is not the sharpest tool in the tool shed although he’s certainly a tool.

I love The Sneetches story! Such a perfect tale of people discriminating against other people because of something as trivial as a star on their belly. In the end they realize how stupid it is and learn not to discriminate. I wish real life worked like that.
Nothing, the source is Ted Cruz who is a first class moron who probably can't get through a Dr. Seuss book without help from a 6 year old to sound out some of the words like c-a-t and h-a-t.

If I remember correctly, Ted Crud struggled to read Green Eggs and Ham on the senate floor during a filibuster that assisted the government shut down. Tejas was so proud they re-elected him.

Tejas is Gerrymandered to fuck and voter suppression is crazy down here, but sure we are dang proud....

Gerrymandering has no pull in a state wide senate race. Voter suppression on the other hand............
Be real, he’s probably reading one of the racist ones.

Only in America would some children's books cause such a ruckus. It's becoming more and more embarrassing to call oneself an American. Me? I'm just passing through.

Not before Sylvester McMonkey McBean made a shitload of money. Still very fitting for the times, just replace those stars with a D or R.
Fear not, Bill, you can stay 'edgy'. If speaking your mind means spewing antisemitism and transphobia, then expect there to be consequences. Not censorship; rather, dignity and respect. Odd concept, I know.
Definitely a terrible name that needed to be changed. The Seuss books I still don’t agree with. Maybe they could have had a disclaimer in the beginning of the book. If I can buy mein kampf on Amazon then I should be able to buy all the Seuss books. Just my humble .02.

Or The Anarchist Cookbook.
Weird how the folks who control the rights to those don't seem to mind those messages being out there....

I had never heard of that book and just looked it up...wow.

Apologies, there's no facetious smiley, just in case anyone else here thought I seriously thought it weird that evil is as evil does.

I read it to see what McVeigh had in his mind. If you take out the anti-Semitism it's another 1984 type book.

I am surprised at how tame this book is now. You learn more from watching TV.
Last I checked though, Amazon didn’t ban those books, the Seuss estate decided to stop publishing them, which is their right.
If Nirvana, or Geffen or whomever owns the rights to In Utero decided to pull “Rape Me” from streaming services & remove it from future copies of the album, wouldn’t that be their prerogative? You could argue over whether or not Cobain would agree with it, but those who own the rights can do what they want.
Ironically enough, there’s a case to be made that Geisel would have been in favor of modifying the 6 books, as he had done before (see one of my previous posts), but since he’s passed, you can’t really go changing it now.
