Will Kerry's supporters stop at nothing?
The cover of the new anti-Kerry book, Unfit for Command, set to hit shelves soon, has been given an alternative, pro-Kerry cover at the Barnes & Noble online store. The title of the book has been changed to Fit for Command, and the cover image has been changed from a close-up of a finger-pointing Kerry to a picture of Kerry in uniform with other Vietnam veterans. (The book currently sits at #7 on the Barnes & Noble Top 100 and at #2 on Amazon.)
The book, which challenges the "war hero" status of John Kerry's four months in Vietnam, was a part of a major firestorm last week as portions of the book were first revealed by The Drudge Report and a new anti-Kerry advertisement from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- a "527" group of which the author of Unfit, John O'Neill, is a member -- was first reported by Human Events Online. Following the Human Events exclusive, a letter from DNC and Kerry lawyers to various TV stations attempting to intimidate them into blocking the ad from the airwaves was also exclusively revealed by Human Events Online.
Though no information on the source of the cover change has been found, the latest tactic from the pro-Kerry crowd -- whether from a computer hacker or an employee of Barnes & Noble -- can hardly be considered surprising.

Then send them a ps, that you will be sending this to the SEC for a possible investigation and how could a sane person trust B&N with their credit card data?
Amazon.com is faking a quote from John McCain on their listing:
Senator John McCain
"Dishonest and dishonorable... none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded." Read more
And now I just hit Refresh, and the title says UNFIT For Command.
The operator at B&N gave me the B&N.com contact number. It is 212-414-6000. Happy Freeping!

Good work freepers!
I bet a republican did that getting thousands of orders from liberals hoping to prove Kerry a good choice....it would be funny if they got a million orders..LOL But it does say Swiftboat veterans against Kerry on it...that is odd.

Keep writing and calling! They changed it under pressure, but they falsified the name of this book, and it should NOT be forgotten.
How come nobody is outraged that Amazon is using McCain's comment as an "Editorial Review" and places it even before the Publisher's coments? Has McCain read the book? Did he intend his comment to be an editorial review?
This is great! More free publicy for the book.
Haha! Had the same thought!
ROFL!
Insane liberals......
I went to your link and they have FIXED it back now !!That is the URL for the large pic linked to the site you linked.
Bookmarking..no pun intended!....:)
