The Kerry campaign has told Salon that the publisher of "Unfit for Command," the book that is at the center of the attack on Kerry's military record by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is retailing a hoax and should consider withdrawing it from bookstores. "No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them, especially falsehoods that are meant to smear the military service of an American veteran," said Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton. "If I were them, I'd be ducking under my desk wondering what to do. This is a serious problem."
Even some uncomfortable Republicans might breathe a sigh a relief if "Unfit for Command" were to vanish from bookstores: "I don't think the Swift Boat Veterans are helping the Republican cause," Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., remarked on CNN Thursday.

Exactly! Bring it on Kerry.
Good point!
LOL! That was one of Rockwell's better essays.
Say, speaking of guns, I wonder why the boys at Salon and the DNC didn't call for the removal of "Arming America" by that guy Bellesisles. That book had so many lies in it, Emory U. fired the tenured professor who wrote it. But not until a year or so went by and the book had reached market saturation.
Lets get Kerry's book with the upside down flag out there too!!!Wonder if anyone can get a copy???
What - millions more will read the book than will ever view the ad? I had no idea a wee book could change the course of history. John F*ckin' can't handle the truth and pointed questions. He's worried about all those lost votes. In his own phrase, "bring it on!!!"
Now THAT my friend would be poetic justice. Nothing like seeing the anti-free speech liberals hoist on their own "anti-coordination" petard.
Shays is a has been low-class, back-stabbing, gutless wonder RINO.
Shays is in the wrong party. He's doesn't know the meaning of truth or loyalty if those concepts hit him in the face. He's NO conservative.
"Why" inded? Be a man Senator and stop hiding behind the skirts of your girly man party hacks and RINO buddies and TELL THE TRUTH!!!
Yes, Regnery is a conservative book publisher.
I'm not impressed with bitching and moaning. But hey, liberals love to portray themselves as victims. That's what they're good at - blaming this country's people for all the things that go wrong in their stupid lives.
Does this rule apply to documentary movies? No, I didn't think so.
More like a Mexican standoff. John F*ckin's balls are squeezed in a vise and he's in pain and the only thing he can do is call the Swifties names. Sooner or later, its going to implode and my guess it when it comes down to who is standing last, it won't be Kerry when the smoke finally clears.
