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...

...and what was that quote of Hillary's that some things would have to be taken away from us. Pre-convention, I think.

"Buellar...anyone...Buellar...?"

Great! Now my copy will be worth more on Ebay. If only I could figure out a way to get Kerry to sign it... LOL

...and what was that quote of Hillary's that some things would have to be taken away from us. Pre-convention, I think.

"We will have to increase your taxes for the common good" (or something close to that--operating from memory and pushing the two remaining brain cells to the limit).

Was that the one?

[hummingbird]

At least you've got two cells working! I think that was it; got to fly but when I get back, I'll Google it. Thanks for the lead!

You're right, and yes, Animal Farm offers great insight.

Pigs is a great reminder that in Left-land, "some animals are more equal than others".

Found the quote:

We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short [referring to tax cuts] and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. [Sen. Hitlery Clintoon, in San Francisco.]

[GOPJ]

Thanks :)

If you don't mind, I think I'll open "AMERICA - The Right Way" tomorrow with that pic. It's great!

I wasn't sure what it meant beyond it being bar for Kerry as in a turning point or negative watershed.

I am always interested in finding out the true meaning of old sayings. Two interesting ones come to mind that I have researched before:

1) "Rule of Thumb": Commonly used to indicate something as being a common sense rule or logic. It's true meaning comes from and old English law that made it legal to beat ones wife with a switch as long as the switch was no bigger than your thumb.

2) "Whole nine yards": Commonly used to signify that you have given something everything you have to give. It comes from a WWII warplane - cant' remember which one specifically - that carried 27 feet of ammunition for each of it's guns. When they returned home empty the pilots would say "I gave'em the whole nine yards."

Thank you!

By all means. Feel free to use it as you wish. :^)

DIDN'T ADOLPH HITLER HAVE BOOKS BURNED TOO.
No difference between Hitler, and "Hanoi John."

[Joe Republc]

Hmmm.. the Drudge front page doesn't have the 'book ban' headline now.

This was a hot story, IMO. I hope it wasn't unsubstantiated, and Drudge pulled it for that reason.

I am old enough to remember when books were banned in Boston! LOL!

[MeekOneGOP]

I placed an order for 2 copies on Amazon this afternoon - can't get it for 5 to 7 WEEKS!!! What's up with THAT? Is it selling like hotcakes? Those morons trying to hush up the Swifties and ban this book are going to fan the flames for freedom of the press and freedom to READ the TRUTH!
