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...
It's next to impossible that Hillary would replace Kerry.

Jump The Shark
When a television show jumps the shark it has reached the peak of quality and will steadily decline ever after. Jumping the shark is the defining moment when you know your favorite TV show will never be the same again.
The phrase is a reference to the 1970s television show Happy Days. On 20 September 1977, the show aired an episode where the character Fonzie jumps a shark tank on water skis. A cliffhanger episode, many fans of the show consider this episode to be the high point of the popular show.
The phrase jump the shark, however, appears some years later. On 24 December 1997 the website www.jumptheshark.com went up on the net. It listed TV shows and the episodes where they jumped the shark. The site gives credit for the phrase to a Sean J. Connelly, who allegedly coined it in 1985. Connelly was the college roommate of site's creator, Jon Hein.
Never knew that. I remember that Happy Days episode. Too funny.
"Herr Schickelgruber" bump.
>>Did anyone hear the caller on Hannity's radio show yesterday? She said she called a Borders book store yesterday, and the manager told her that "the book was being recalled due to all the lies".
Yes, I heard it. But before condemning Borders, we should consider that maybe Borders employees have been threatened by Kerry's Brown Shirts.
Been telling my husband it'll be 55% Bush. :)
ohmygawd, if the Dems get the White House back, there's going to be boycott lists, loyalty oaths, and brownshirt thugs stopping us in the streets saying, "Your papers, please."
I wonder at what temp does a deceitful and duplicitous propaganda film burn?
Kerry shows his real face to the voters.......one of the good days to be sure.
i wasnt gonna buy it either, but i sure will now!
I've already started to build a hidden wall in my attic so I can hide my books. (Well, not really, but if the Dems get back in power, it could come to that!)
I haven't had time to review this entire thread, so this may have been asked...
Did either the Brinkley puff-bio or the Boston Globe "official Kerry biography" include the Christmas in Cambodia story????
If so, shouldn't Kerry be calling for those books to be recalled, too?
If you can find a copy of the 60's film Fahrenheit 451, I'd recommend renting it. I rented it recently and was impressed with the quality of the performances by Oskar Werner and Julie Christie. A conservative can watch the movie and not feel that conservatives are being bashed by libs. It's more like a "1984" totalitarianism that's being portrayed and bashed on screen.
I went through Amazon and the book should be here today!
Sounds like a buddy of mine at Ft Campbell. About five of us used to get together for drinks once a week. Out of the five, one, a guy from Towson, MD, was a raging liberal.
We would literally get in each other's faces screaming about politics. It was all good though. It would have to be to do it every week :-)
We need to get this photoshopped with Dim images at once.Oh, yeah! Absolutely. Back in a little bit.
Dog-gone it. I was working on another pic and missed this until just now.
Thanks for the heads up !
So, folks, why can't WE request some books get banned by publishers for the same reason?
That is, selling a hoax that is full of falsehoods?
Here's a few that come to mind...
- My Life, by Bill Clinton
- Michael Moore's book
- Al Franken's book
- The Da Vinci Code
Please add to the list!!!!

Any book which says Kerry was in Cambodia, Christmas Eve, 1968. :)
I'm sure the American Library Association will immediately issue a stern rebuke for this blatant act of censorship: "The Kerry Kampaign's stifling of dissent is chilling, chilling ..."
