During the better part of the last three years we have endured an endless series of offerings from the Bush-Haters-Book-of-the-Month Club. These volumes have overexerted titles and overly verbose subtitles like Big Lies: The Rightwing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth or Worse than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush. They contain very little unique information from one to the next. Most are petty; some are demonstrably fraudulent, such as Joe Wilson's The Politics of Truth. They are mostly written by people who are professionally distasteful of President Bush. All of them have been written by...

Days after charges were first made public, John Kerry's campaign is beginning to respond to allegations the senator has lied for decades about being in Cambodia for Christmas in 1968, saying he was at or near the border but not actually in the country for the holiday. As WorldNetDaily reported, the authors of the best-selling book "Unfit for Command," which refutes many of Kerry's war stories, claim that despite the senator's 1986 speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate mentioning spending Christmas Eve in Cambodia, the candidate was never in Vietnam's neighboring country. "I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting...

"Unfit for Command" really blew me away. It is far more devastating to John Kerry than I imagined it would. It exposes John Kerry's lies, one after another, in a fashion that shows his true motivations for going to Vietnam -- as a badge he could wear to promote himself in his future political ambitions. I have read section one (about half of the book) so far. Even if you discount all of the "my word against his" type of claims, the exposing of John Kerry's own words provides the noose that will hang him. I found some of these...

Democrats haven't been this upset about an American engaging in free speech since Juanita Broaddrick opened her yap. Two hundred fifty-four Swift Boat Veterans have signed a letter saying John Kerry is not fit to be commander in chief, a point developed in some detail in the blockbuster new book by John O'Neill, aptly titled Unfit for Command. At the 2003 reunion of Swift Boat Veterans, about 300 men showed up: 85 percent of them think Kerry is unfit to be president. (On the bright side, Kerry was voted, in absentia, "Most Likely to Run for President on His Phony...

Okay, it is vanity, but there have been other threads showing the predicted states to go with either Bush or Kerry PRIOR to the the book Unfit for Command generating a lot of interest. (Note: today is my birthday, so I hope I can be cut some slack for a vanity post.) But seriously, I have been Electoral College predictions, but I have not seen any that factor in Unfit for Command. Can we expect some states that may have been leaning Kerry to now be in the win column for George W Bush? What is the impact in Florida...

One day after the mainstream media ran an AP story slamming Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., one of the co-authors of #1 bestselling Unfit for Command, someone at Amazon.com has oddly removed the primary author, John O'Neill, and listed the book as if Corsi were the sole author (linked to cached version of page). "There seems to be a pattern here," stated Marji Ross, president of Regnery Publishing. "We are encouraging Amazon to find who is making these unauthorized changes. It really is quite disturbing to think that someone can modify Amazon's information so easily." This is the third such "unexplained" tampering...

Michael Savage to interview the author of Unfit for Command, John O'Neil. Savage is taking calls tonight, your chance to ask Mr. O'Neil questions. (I listen to streaming audio on kernradio.com, click on the rotating beacon in the upper right of your screen.)

I just checked Amazon.com. The delivery of my copy of UNFIT FOR COMMAND is scheduled for October 4. It seems to be the publishing company underestimated the demand for this book. Have any of you been promised an earlier delivery time?

Larry Elder will be having UNFIT FOR COMMAND co-author John O'Neill on his show shortly. O'Neill is so credible and so well-spoken that he probably has become John sKerry's worst enemy. If you don't get the Sage from South Central on an affiliate, you can listen through the KABC WEBSITE

Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates (FMA), a Republican polling and strategic consulting firm based in Alexandria, VA, has just completed their second likely voter survey with interviews conducted ONLY in the 19 battleground states. The battleground states are defined as those in which the Bush and Kerry campaigns have been focusing their paid media efforts throughout the campaign. Nearly 6 in 10 likely voters claim that they that they recently saw, read or heard something about the TV ad “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” released and began airing in several key battleground states questioning the truthfulness of Senator Kerry’s Vietnam War...

This is great news and it may have already been posted. I just went to Amazon and Barnes and Noble and Kerry's "Unfit for Command" is number one on both sites! Keep going Freepers!

SBVfT: ABC News' Marc Ambinder broke off from Ric Flair's "To Be The Man" last night to read "Unfit For Command" in its entirety. The book is clear, crisply-written, occasionally compelling, and full of polarizing firepower. It's rather short, padded with long excerpts from Kerry speeches, interviews with Swift Boat veterans, and other books. Regnery employed its usual brilliant pre-publication marketing strategy — leak selective excerpts and copies to sympathetic reporters and use Drudge to hammer it home. Human Events, the venerable and respected conservative weekly, has been the leader in Swift Boat coverage, and deserves credit for it own...

OK everyone gotta try doing this! Get out your phone books and put the fear into your local Booksellers! I live in Los Angeles and every darn bookstore has a shrine of Bush Bashing books at every table especially when you walk in and by the cas registrar. It is simply frightening! I bought tommy Franks book last week and it was upstairs at my Barnes and Noble! You want bias book selling...RIGHT HERE IN LOST ANGELES! Anyway I have a book joint here in West Hollywood called BOOKSOUP. Very popular yet kinda Gay, Nerd, Hippie, Granola, Artsy Fartsy..... AND...

The book appears to be meticulously researched and reported. It is replete with copious footnotes, a detailed index and two appendices. First-hand witnesses are named and quoted verbatim to support each specific, shocking charge. Each charge of false heroics is logically presented. Theauthors quote the official Navy citation and then present the purported eyewitnesstestimony that refutes the official finding. The witnesses who are summoned forth are officers and men who served simultaneously with Mr. Kerry in Coastal Division 11 and purport to be eyewitnesses to the events in question. And yet, there is another group of men, the sailors who...

Despite the Kerry camp's best efforts to attack the book and discredit its co-author, the white-hot new book Unfit for Command is holding firm at #1 on both Amazon and BN.com. Publisher Regnery Publishing reports that bookstore orders are still flooding in, and that they have gone back for a third printing, putting the total number of books in print up to 175,000. All this before the book has even been officially released, still slated for August 15th. A firestorm of publicity has erupted around the book and a related anti-Kerry TV ad, with Kerry flaks resorting to name-calling and...

Kerry expose' "Unfit for Command" is now #1 at both Barnes and Noble AND Amazon. This is how many days now in the top three? It's going to be quite a bombshell when thousands of copies of this book all hit the streets at the same time. Main anti-swift tactic now seems to be Corsi comments. Response? "Jesse Jackson called New York 'hymietown'. Does that invalidate the civil rights movement?" Thoughts? And don't forget to support the swifties at swiftvets.com with donations, encouragement and ideas. The media is going to be coming at them hot and heavy. Fight On!
