They're not calling for a ban. They're asking the publisher to voluntarily withdraw it. Am I the only one who can read?

If Kerry's campaign is asking for a voluntary withdrawl (removal) of the books and those books are not available for sale to the public, doesn't that in effect constitute a ban???

Drudges initial siren was saying "KERRY CAMPAIGN CALLS FOR BOOK BAN" only did Drudge add the quote from salon.com later.

Besides, is it almost the same thing in America.

That sticky free speech and enterprise thing!

No - you're not. Drudge is just trying to hype this. However, the effect will be to kill the legitimacy of the book.

The book is legit. We have to be careful to make sure it stays that way.

In the final effect, what is the difference?

They're not calling for a ban. They're asking the publisher to voluntarily withdraw it.

And the difference is?

Either case it is off the shelf because only the publisher has the license to print.

And such a decision is being called for by the campaign of someone who wants to run the country--and who is already a public official.

Sounds like a "quack, quack" to me.
