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.

Just a reminder to never ever purchase anything from any Barnes & Noble. They are notorious in their treatment of all things conservative.
HA! Great catch!
I ordered two copies of the book from booksamillion.com
Someone's trying to scare off likely buyers of Unfit for Command, to depress the sales.
John Kerry needs help getting ALL of his military records.

This is absolutely true - I've seen the graphic with my own eyes. Large and small. Search for kerry on bn.com, and you'll see the small graphic on the search results screen. Click on the graphic, it takes to the book page, still with the small graphic. You can click on the small graphic to get the larger one.
Embarassing for both BN and Akami. Down the old memory whatchamacallit, I guess.
More than that, it's grounds for some GREAT publicity. Michael Moore would do it, and get days of press and promotion for his bilge-- why can't our side learn to exploit these things correctly? Or does the media just not want to play along with it if it's against their bias?
I just made you proud.
I'm not surprised that a depraved DemonRat would hack a website in their lust for power. I have little doubt these monsters would sell their mother's blood to keep Bush out of office. The are without natural love.
Thanks. It is do damn true, isn't it?
It's only August and I can't even watch Kerry. He comes on and I reflexively switch channels. This guy is a horror show.
i can imagine what this "hacker" is thinking right now: oh ho ho ho look at this clever pun, the correct title is UNfit for command but i changed it to FIT for command! get it guys GET IT AHAHHAHAHA, i can't wait to tell all my "friends" in my chatroom. my girlfriend LibKitty00345 will think i am a total cyber stud...now to download some porn and eat some ice cream right out of the box.
your basic kerry supporter
This is just an extension of the RAT convention propaganda.
(Hey, wait a minute....)
I just called and talked to somebody at 1-800-THE-BOOK. Some French sounding guy (NO KIDDING!) took my name and phone number and said that somebody would be contacting me about it. He asked if I was the author and how I knew it was the wrong picture. I told him I was simply an informed consumer. Then I told him to look at amazon.com and see the correct picture. I wonder if they will call me back!
dims getting desperate PING!
Check this out.
And there's no mention of the book at regnery.com either, what's going on ? BN pic been hacked ? ISBN number same on both Amazon & BN.
I just got off the phone with B&N

She "claims" that that was the cover that was digitally sent to them...
they are in the process of correcting
You might want to call her and voice your outrage
This, along with my cockeyed computer screen, is making me dizzy.
Has the cover really been altered?
