I've heard your complaint about Borders before.

Get on the list and they more than likely will call you in a very short time. I think it's just a stall and when you get on the list they practically call before you get home.

Or order it on the net.

US Senator John Kerry’s campaign team today called for a book which contains “proven falsehoods” about the presidential candidate’s Vietnam war record to be taken off the shelves.

If photocopies of John Kerry's military records are in the book I would agree the book contains proven falsehoods.

So when do you think O'neill will get the Big 60 Minutes hourlong interview to promote HIS book?

I think conservatives need a investigative show. What should we call it?

He's fueling the fires by continually bringing this up. If it was really untrue, he would be sueing and then claim that he can't say anymore because it's in litigation. Edwards would probably do the paperwork for free.

CBS Radio introduced the new Swift Boat ad today with "The Republican-financed Swift Boat veterans..." Such a lie--they are not funded by the "Republicans", which would be illegal anyway. Unlike their allegations in this morning's NY Times, this is not coordinated by Karl Rove, as that would be illegal and if it were true, they would be demanding he be charged with a crime. If we said, "The Democrat-funded MoveOn.Org.", they would be outraged.

If Kerry really had nothing to hide, he would release his records like Bush did, rise above it, shut up, and move on.

BTW, how come nobody's demanding that he be charged with perjury as he lied about war crimes before a Congressional Committee?

Even more curious....except for Rassman, not one of Kerry's boatmates has, to my knowledge, taken a position on the "Bay Hap" incident. Further, they refuted Kerry on "Christmas in Cambodia." Why are they so quiet about the Bay Hap?

This should be scaring the sh*t out of all of us!

For once, the Left has provided a glimpse into the truth of what we would face under a Leftist regime in this country.

In their world, what they say is true is TRUE. In their world, only TRUE things may be said.

This is a political campaign (flanked by Brock out there on the lunatic fringe) actively advocating the suppression of a book that criticizes it! We should be damned scared about that!

How long do you think FreeRepublic, or NewsMax, or Drudge, or FoxNews ... any of the bloggers who are ferretting out the real truths about JFK2 ... how long do you think the First Amendment would last under a Leftist regime?

Man the barricades, brothers and sisters. Warn your friends and family. The Kerry campaign has revealed itself for what it is ... and Stalin would be proud!

My Borders in Detroit no less has it prominently displayed next to Clinton's fat face cover in the New Releases/Politics session. I went over to the lookup terminal and left the web page up (including cover shot) to inform any other casual browsers.

I want to see "Cut & Run" Kerry defend his own book that he wrote with the VVAW.

15 Minutes. All the time intellectuals really need to absorb the facts.

Thanks for the pic. I had forgotten about Senator Fulbright. (ask yourself why his name is facing him??)
Here's a quote from Mr Fulbright referring to a protest by longshorman protesting the loading of a boat going to Egypt.
Too bad years later he didn't feel this way about Kerry.
from: http://www.alfredlilienthal.com/fulbright.htm

Taking the Senate floor on April 25, Fulbright denounced the picketing as "irresponsible intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making." Noting that the Constitution confines the conduct of foreign policy to the president or his designated representatives, the Arkansas senator said:

"Actions on the part of individuals or organizations which interfere directly or indirectly with the constitutional exercise of governmental authority or activity in the conduct of foreign policy should be avoided as inimical to the total national interest...Our constitutional system is designed to give free expression to the will of citizens of the United States. It must not be corrupted by calculated influence and pressure from any other source."

Notice, he's not referred to as 'Senator Kerry', but as 'Former Swift Boat Captain Kerry'!

WTF!? This is getting so goofy that I can't believe it....

Imagine the outcry from Leftists if Bush called for any anti-Bush literature to be pulled. Oh, there'd be screams of censorship from sea to shining sea!

But for some reason, such a call by Kerry is perfectly legitimate in the eyes of Leftists and their "mainstream" [sic] media.

In addition, "Cut & Run" Kerry should explain the hiring of MoveOn people for his campaign. Talk about illegal cohesion! Rush used to always say if democrats are acusing you of anything, they are guilty of the same thing they acuse others of. Now I truly understand what he means.

Perhaps Kerry should pull his own autobiography, "Tour of Duty". He lied about his activites/observations while serving on the USS Gridley. This site contains some interesting comments that set the record straight. MUST READ!
The Kerry Page

When I read “Tour of Duty”, I became concerned because the material on Kerry’s time on GRIDLEY appeared in many instances to be exaggerations and in some cases figments of an overactive imagination.

...

4. Later on page 87 Kerry talks about Olongapo in the Philippines. He talks about bloated corpses floating in the river and starving women with babies dying of malnutrition. Now Olongapo was a wild and wooly town that existed solely for the entertainment of the US Navy, but in over three years of calling there, I never saw a single instance of either thing happening. Kerry uncovered this in his first visit. If this was from his letters home then he was certainly writing for dramatic effect. Balderdash.
