After a somewhat fumbling attempt at damage control on the Today Show on Wednesday (“I is what I is,” she told Matt Lauer), Paula Deen has been dropped by Walmart, Target and QVC, among others. However, the developments of the past few weeks do not seem to have deterred her fan base, who have gotten two of her cookbooks—one of which hasn’t even come out yet—to the top two spots on Amazon.com's Bestsellers list.

Not only content to check out with her book in their cart, these supporters are also leaving impassioned “reviews” on the page for Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible (in the #2 spot).

This review was “found helpful” by 374 of 405 people.

I don't normally buy items for a policical statement but this time I have. Paula has freedom of speech and I have the power of the buck. Today I bought this book AND a box of cheerios (in support of their ad that contains a mixed race marriage). Time for American to grow up beyond the age of ten years old, get over the polical correctness crap and get on with life.

This reviewer felt the need for CAPS.

I AM SO SICK OF THE MEDIA OVER DRAMATIZING EVERYTHING. THEY ARE DEFLECTING FROM THE 100 MILLION DOLAR VACATION TO AFRICA THE FIRST FAMILY ARE TAKING NOW. HOLD YOUR HEAD UP GIRLFRIEND. AM IOOKING FOWARD TO TRYING YOUR RECEIPS.

This one was written by someone who goes by “Otter.”

I don't like being told what to think, say, or do by the agenda-driven liberal media or the conservative religious right.

I'll probably never read this cookbook but it will sit front and center in my bookcase next to The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, and my unopened 2 Live Crew CD. I'll feel quite pleased everytime I see them there. My little contributions to the war on hypocrisy and censorship. Worth every penny.

Some were nearly philosophical.

I challenge everyone out there if they even remember what they said 30 yrs ago...

And if you did would you actually admit to it. Maybe,maybe not.

I'm sick and tired of someone else coming out and saying there offended,well everyone has been offended sometime in their lives. Suck it up that's life

And this one was left 13 months ago—way before the scandal, clearly—but we felt we must include it as we love it so.

No pictures, hello?! I want illustrated. Description did not say no photos, so now I have the book and I will keep it but very disappointed in lack of photos, even black and white ones!
