The Kerry campaign calls on a publisher to 'withdraw book' written by group of veterans, claiming veterans are lying about Kerry's service in Vietnam and operating as a front organization for Bush. Kerry campaign has told Salon.com that the publisher of UNFIT FOR COMMAND is 'retailing a hoax'... 'No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them,' Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton tells the online mag... Developing...

Just bought the book on Amazon. I don't care how long it takes to get here.

There are 14 copies of 'UFC' up right now on EBay, a couple are BIN.

Did I just hear the Kerry spokesbimbette on FOX call the SwiftVets dishonerable men?

In the navy we have a phrase for this, and since Kerry was in the navy it seems somehow appropos even if profane - "He is f-ing up at a high rate of speed"

Kerry could call for a end to our constitutional way of goverment in favor of a capitialist-communism and he'd still get 40% of the vote.

My buddies wife works at BN. I'll get it through him and let BN pay for part of it with her employee discount. That'll pay em back a little for the myriad of Anti-W books they have on prominent display.

Oh my God, that is hilarious!
He is truly insane. If the book is full of lies, why doesn't kerry just release his military records? I know he won't though because he's a big liar. HIs stories change so often he can't keep any of them straight.

For what's it's worth, I have Kerry's 'short form' records that I got after I sent in a SF180 for Kerry's records.

The Combat V came with his Bronze Star. I wrote the author offering to send him a copy of the records I have.

And YES, he has 4 Bronze Stars with his Vietnam Service Medal. (Must have gotten one for each month he was there!)

If anyone has any doubt about the political agenda of Herr Kerry, this should dispell them.

If this really is a friend of yours I have news for you: he was never a Republican.

Sad to hear he lives in my neck of the woods too.

You know, not only is this un-democratic on the part of the Kerry campaign, it's...wimpy.

Senator Kerry, you are a wimp.

WIMP!

My bet is that the Swiftees have LOOOooonnngggg coat tails.

It seemed funny to me that Kerry claimed the main backing came from the Texas Repubican. I heard he only gave 150,000 to them, which is a drop in the bucket compared to what they have raised now through ordinary folks like you and me, I'm guessing.

HOLLYWOOD VERSION OF KERRY'S BANNING UNFIT FOR COMMAND.

Let's see. Which Hollywood film was this in?

Michael Moore's documentary "Nazis Have Fun."

Barbra Streisand's "Signs of the New Democrats."

Michael Eisner's "Tomorrowland when JFK Gets Elected."

Been seeing that posted. The store may have the book and lib employees are sandbagging with that BS story. Unfortunately for them, sales and stock info are available to corporate offices at the touch of a finger. Anyone complains, and the self important lib may become an unemployed lib.

One point is that if say store X has boxes of a book and they aren't selling them for any reason at that location, and store Y is selling out, the company could shift the books to the high demand store.

I was on the fence about buying the book because I had no confidence in Kerry before I even heard of the Swift Boat Vets. But now that Kerry wants it banned, I'm on my way to look for it.

Another chapter from the book "Unfit for Command" can be emailed to you, FREE, at this URL:

http://humaneventsonline.com.edgesuite.net/offer2.html

This is the second chapter they've released for free, the first can be found here:

http://humaneventsonline.com.edgesuite.net/offer.html


They can try to ban the book from the bookstores, but they can't ban it from the net.

(PS. You'll get put on an email list from Human Events Online, but you can unsubscribe afterwards)

Agreed. But that does have me concerned. The Kerry camp can only win if they succeed at impugning the integrity of 254 Swift boat Vietnam veterans. That certainly sounds like the Nuclear option to me and destined to fail.
