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 'retailng a hoax'...'No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them,' Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton tells the online mag...

They need to back up these assertions concerning UNFIT FOR COMMAND with objective, verifiable proof.

Nothing less than this will do, otherwise they might be perceived as misleading America, or possibly lying to us.

Isn't that what has been said concerning President Bush, that he is a misleader or a liar? Am I wrong, or right?

Actually the title of thread should say 'retailing a hoax'.

I didn't hear Kerry asking Shamu Moore to withdraw his movie about 9/ll even though he knew full well THAT was a lie!

Kerry's 'hurty feelings whining' sounds like a 4 year old who's mommy didn't buy him candy at the grocery store.

What a leader!

Every second of delay in the release of the official Kerry military records is another inch or so of erosion in the faith that he really is what he claims to be. *Frankly, if there is supportive documentary evidence, it's release should have been an up-front campaign booster from day one.

Partisanship aside (and I am partisan, make no mistake), Kerry can win a decisive victory and prove an enormous, heinous conspiracy on the part of officers and men in service with him and the republicans who support them.

Unless, of course, he really is an opportunistic, lying, horses patoot.

(I forget. *Is "patoot&quot ; ok for posting? I didn't want to use d****, *s**** or **v**-d***)

It is ok for Kerry to have a book "Tour Of Duty" which is now known to be filled with lies about Kerrys service (or have they rewritten the book to get rid of those yet?) Kerry told about several things that are in the book that we now know to be complete lies. He has the audacity to demand the withdrawel of a book that he claims is not telling the truth when he cannot even tell the truth himself.

Wow, this should come as a shock to the publishers of the 30 or so books released this year that bash Bush. *It would seem to me that publishers are looking for anything that will sell regardless of its veracity. *The more sensational the better.

If you think about it, what better endorsement of the factual basis of the book can it receive than to have Kerry and his campaign claim that it is a complete lie. *If they said the book was accurate I might have to start questioning it.

I have followed politics for a very long time now, I hold no illusions that politicians are ever scrupulously honest. *Over the last few elections though I have been amazed at how truly audacious the Democrats have become in their lies. *It is mind-boggling how far they will sink in order to win this election. *They don't even try to hide their lust for power anymore. *I am not sure which is worse, the fact that the leadership displays this blood lust or that the rank and file in the Democrat Party is either oblivious or complicit.

Kerry should get his buddies that were proven liars from his days during wintersoldier. They spoke of the same trash Kerry put out but, surprise of surprises, most turned out not to have been Viet Nam Vets. If he really wants to put an end to this controversy, he should get Hanoi Jane and her Vaginas for Votes group to tell America that the Swifties are wrong; they all were there just like Carville, Stephanopolis, and Bile Clinton so they know that Kerry speaks not with divided tongue.

Viet Nam Vet not for John, the war hero, Kerry

"Unfit For Command" is John Kerrys worse nightmare. And let me tell you John it Ain't Gonna Go Away" !!!

As we used to say when we were kids, Senator Heinz, err... I mean Kerry you have gotten yourself in a "Pickle&quot ;.

I can't find "Unfit For Command" in the local Barnes & Nobles. They have a table full of Bush bashing book's, and also a large display of "My Life", by Bill Clinton. I advised the clerk that the "My Life" should be in the fiction section. He said nothing just turned and walked away, so I guess I know where the hearts of that staff lie.
