Swift Boats, Slow Media By Chris Shugart, 13 sep 04 Give the media credit for their predictable consistency. And they at least get an ‘A’ for effort in their valiant (though transparent) attempt to ignore the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth organization. For three months these Vietnam vets were everywhere making bold public allegations about John Kerry’s “exaggerated claims about his own service in Viet Nam .” The media didn’t seem to notice. On May 4, at a televised press conference, eighteen Navy combat veterans and commanders went on the record opposing John Kerry's bid for the Presidency. These weren’t...

This is an excerpt from the book Unfit for Command, copyright 2004 by John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi. The excerpt begins on page 79 immediately under the subtitle of "Ambush." A couple of days before his second Purple Heart, Kerry was also operating with Bob Hildreth, officer in charge of the accompanying boat. It was a day Hildreth would never forget. Kerry was the lead boat, with Hildreth behind. There was a small hole in a line of fishing stakes. Kerry's boat slipped through first. When Hildreth's boat started through, a mine went off, and then at least five rockets...

Hello all, I was just on Amazon.com and I noticed that ALL of the reviews for Unfit for Command are gone...I found it strange and I was wondering if anyone else noticed? LCC

The American Compass, meeting on C-Span, under Booknotes, 9-01-04, featured keynote speakers, who said that We now, have the "old media", and the "new media". It was explained the "old media", is the television stations, press, newspapers and so on. The "new" media is the blogs, forums, websites, that have become widespread and popular. The American Compass speakers said; The "old" media did not want to face or question Kerry's past, and that the Swifties and their book, "Unfit For Command", did the job, for getting past them.

Last month, when "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" - a book questioning the details of Senator Kerry's service in Vietnam - failed to materialize on bookstore shelves, the conspiracy theories began to fly. Frustrated customers bombarded bookstores with phone calls, cries of liberal bias, and accusations of censorship. They pointed to prominent displays of Bill Clinton's memoirs, "My Life," and Maureen Dowd's "Bushworld" as blatant examples of how left-leaning the industry has become. Postings such as this one appeared on websites like www.freerepublic.com: "They are not sold out.... This is how they keep the...

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- The White House reacted strongly to a renewed attack on President George W. Bush's service record with the Texas Air Guard during Vietnam. Documents obtained from the Defense Department by the Associated Press touched off the latest round of speculation about alleged gaps in the timetable of Bush's service. Democrats have been focusing on Bush's service record for nearly a year, with both party officials and their "independent" 527 surrogates like MoveOn.org suggesting that the president was AWOL at some period prior to his discharge in 1973. On several occasions, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe...

Local readers on both sides of the political spectrum want to check out "Unfit for Command." Phil Pons of Newport News ordered his copy early, so he was one of the lucky ones. ............Pons pre-ordered his copy through Beck & Stein Books, a locally owned Port Warwick shop that does not ordinarily stock books with an inflammatory political tone. Because Pons ordered early - and perhaps because the shop had requested only one copy - Beck & Stein received his book on its Aug. 15 release date. Local readers who had reserved copies through the larger chain stores had to...

John O'Neill's recorded interview will be broadcast on 50,000 watt KFI in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning. The show is the Bill Handel show. Handel is the guy who banned me from his show for calling Clinton a rapist on the air. The truth hurts. I shared some emails with his producer, challenging him to get the story right. Steven Gardner has been on talk radio, and Handel had not realized or did not want to realize that Kerry phonied up the report. Let's see how it goes in the morning. To listen on the internet: KFI.

RACINE, W.Va. - (KRT) - Seizing on a common campaign sign that features President Bush's middle initial, Sen. John Kerry on Monday declared that "W stands for wrong," shifting his focus from the rhetorical quagmires of Iraq and Vietnam to pocketbook issues. Kerry spent Labor Day in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina blaming Bush for economic problems that he said were the worst since the Great Depression. He also retooled his campaign team on the fly. "As the president likes to say, there's nothing complicated about it," Kerry said, speaking to a crowd of...

Readers aren't always bothered by what appears in the pages of The Star. Sometimes the problem is what doesn't make its way into print. For the previous two Sundays, the recap of the New York Times best-selling books did not run in the Arts section. That worried many of you who have learned to expect it in its usual place every week. Even worse, the timing made this particular omission look suspicious to some readers. “I notice there's no best-sellers list in the books pages for two weeks running,” wrote one e-mail correspondent, echoing dozens of others I heard from....

TIGER FORCE - Ex-officer may face justice for atrocities - Army lawyer calls for war-crime charge By JOE MAHR, BLADE STAFF WRITER Three decades after an Army platoon repeatedly executed unarmed civilians and prisoners in Vietnam, a military lawyer has recommended the unit's former commander be brought up on a war-crime charge. In what would be an unprecedented event, retired Maj. James Hawkins could face a military court-martial regarding his actions commanding a platoon known as Tiger Force that killed hundreds of unarmed men, women, and children 37 years ago, The Blade has learned. As the scope of war crimes...

I just got my copies of Unfit for Command from Brad's Grandma and there are still quite a few to be delivered. For all of you who posted to her that you wanted one, please get ahold of her ASAP so she doesn't get stuck with a big bill. Also, for those of you who have sent in your checks (or will), drop her an email with a cross reference of your screen name with the name on the check you sent in so she can mark you off correctly. Anyone who had reserved one and hasn't contacted her will...

IN A WEEK dedicated to Republican speechifying about why John Kerry should not be the next president of the United States, the most persuasive words came from a Democrat. And I don't mean Zell Miller's invigorating speech on Wednesday. I mean John Kerry's rant in Ohio, less than an hour after George W. Bush finished his acceptance speech in New York. It's a shame the networks didn't include Kerry's remarks in their GOP convention coverage. In just 30 minutes, Kerry provided a revealing look at himself, a reminder of his meandering views, several clues about the state of his campaign,...
