PREPARE FOR AN ALL-OUT PERSONAL ASSAULT We are just days away now from the release of "Unfit For Command, Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." Democrats are ready. They've been spending the past week pouring over the Internet and other sources looking for any piece of information they can find on any Veteran quoted in the book. The Democratic National Committee has reportedly created a "Brown Book" that contain what has been described as "damaging military records, personal credit histories, medical histories, psychiatric histories, divorce records ..." A DNC insider is reported to have said "We've got the...

WASHINGTON One of the authors of a new anti-John Kerry book has apologized for his comments in an Internet chat room describing Muslims and Catholics as pedophiles and Pope John Paul as senile. As he prepared to launch the book "Unfit for Command," Jerry Corsi said his postings on the Web were meant as a joke and he never intended to offend anyone. In a chat room entry last year, Corsi accused Muslims of being pedophiles, wife beaters and killers of infidels. The book's co-author is John O'Neill, who also is spokesman for the group that began airing an ad...

John Kerry's strategy of making his military service a centerpiece of his presidential campaign is under fire with the release of "Unfit for Command," which arrives in bookstores this week.     The book accuses the Democratic nominee of lying about what he saw as a Navy officer during his four months of combat in Vietnam, inflating his own record to garner enough Purple Hearts to go home early and later joining an anti-war group that discussed plans for assassinating members of the U.S. Congress.     " 'Unfit for Command' is a shocking indictment of a politician who slandered his fellow veterans, danced on...

The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Unfit for command?By Tony BlankleyPublished August 11, 2004          I stayed up late last night and read from cover to cover the book "Unfit for Command -- Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." An impartial reader (if there is still such a beast in this election season) would have to conclude that either the book is a pack of lies or John Kerry is in fact a reckless, lying man who misrepresented the facts in order to receive medals he didn't deserve, and is indeed unfit to command even a tug boat, let...

Hope folks have a chance to check it out.

The group says it represents a majority of veterans of the war who contend the Democratic nominee is unfit to be commander...

This is part one of a two part series on Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's controversial tour of duty as a Swift Boat captain during the Vietnam War. CBN.com – WASHINGTON - It is a presidential portrait. John Kerry cruising Boston harbor with his band of brothers from Vietnam, 12 Navy veterans vouching for his military record. But other veterans who also served with Kerry are painting a different picture. One says, "He is lying about his record. He dishonored his country. I served with John Kerry. He cannot be trusted." The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is a group...

I emailed Amazon, as I am sure that many of you did with the following: Hello, Hopefully, the following quote on the page for the new book Unfit for Command is a typo: Senator John McCain "Dishonest and dishonorable... none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded." In the above quote Sen. McCain is referring to the television advertisement made by the Swiftboat Vets for Truth group. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the book. Please correct this as soon as possible as it is terribly misleading as now presented. Thank you! -Toonces ...and I am...

Yesterday we reported that the Barnes & Noble website carried an altered cover of the hot new anti-Kerry book, Unfit For Command (Regnery, 2004 -- a Human Events sister company). The title had been changed from Unfit For Command to Fit for Command. Likewise, the Kerry photo on the jacket was been changed to feature a pro-Kerry war photo worthy of a John Wayne movie. (Barnes & Noble has since fixed the error. No explanation has been given.) Now it appears pro-Kerry gremlins have invaded Amazon.com, too. Amazon, thought by many to be the top (and unbiased?) online purveyor of...

NewsMax.com's "Left Coast" reporter James Hirsen has the latest on Democratic Party counterattack plans for the bombshell new book, "Unfit for Command."Michael Moore’s factually challenged waste of celluloid has been publicly embraced by top dog Dems like DNC ringleader Terry McAuliffe, Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and others. John Kerry also recently used Moore-generated scenes to smear the president. But curiously, when over 200 decorated veterans created a one-minute TV spot expressing their views on the Dem candidate’s war record, McAuliffe and his Democrat buds squealed for the White House to declare war on these "partisan liars.” Sources indicate that a...

If the first casualty in war is the truth, as the old saying goes, the truth about John Kerry's military service is under fire from television and the bookstore shelves. The group behind the attack, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, has accused Mr. Kerry of everything from exaggerating claims to earn medals and Purple Hearts to having his own film crew capturing future campaign footage during his tour in Vietnam almost 35 years ago. Many date their anger at Mr. Kerry to his anti-war activities after he returned from Vietnam, saying he slandered veterans at the time.

A new addition to the 'Editorial Reviews' section at Amazon.com for Unfit for Command appears to have Sen. McCain slamming the book. While I have not read the book, I doubt he has read it either. I will wait until I do read the book to make up my own mind, but it might be helpful for the Freepers that occasionally frequent the site to make their feelings known. At the bottom of the page there is a 'Suggestion Box', if you feel as I do that the 'Editorial Review' seems more like an Editorial from Amazon.com, please let them...

August 10, 2004 -- When President Bush's backers pro tested the distortions in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," Democrats replied that the film at least "stimulates discussion of the issues" and should be part of the political debate. Now a group of Vietnam veterans has published a book, "Unfit for Command," and aired a political commercial arguing that John Kerry lied about his Vietnam war record and is unfit to serve as commander-in-chief. This time, however, the Democrats don't view either the book or the ad as a helpful stimulant for debate. No, legal sharks representing the Kerry campaign and the...

I can appreciate why people are turned off by dirty politics, by which I mean the unsubstantiated mudslinging against candidates designed to mislead and smear rather than inform. But I lament the level of cynicism to which we've descended that makes us turn a deaf ear to negativity that may well be true and relevant. I'm referring primarily to the public uproar surrounding the new book "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John F. Kerry," in which a group of swift boat officers who served alongside John Kerry in Vietnam tell a devastating story that, if...

John F. Kerry has succeeded in making his military service in Vietnam an issue in the campaign, but not quite in the way he expected.      The war hero who threw away his medals (or medals borrowed for the occasion) thought his Silver Star and three Purple Hearts would render him the Sergeant York and Audie Murphy of his generation.     Maybe those medals will do it yet. The jury is still out on exactly who and what Lieutenant Kerry was in Vietnam, but it's a jury that Candidate Kerry never expected to be called to sit in late judgment on...

A startling new book charges that John Kerry accidentally "wounded himself in the buttocks" in Vietnam with a grenade he exploded, then lied to get a medal by saying he had received the injury rescuing one of his crewmen. The book, "Unfit for Command," was released yesterday by Regnery publishers and presents the biggest challenge yet to Kerry's decorated war-record. Based on the accounts of numerous vets, the explosive book claims Kerry's rescue under fire of Jim Rassman — an action that earned Kerry his third Purple Heart and a Bronze Star — didn't happen the way the Democratic nominee...
