All Freepers and like minded folks should go out and buy this book. If it remains in the public focus by virtue of its sales position, the mainstream media will not be able to ignore it and its contents of this traitor, John Kerry. This book unlike most others can hurt John Kerry mortally!

No Heineken?

Sorry I have to say this, but you've got a pussy cat.

Heh, heh.

Le double entendre.

By the way, who's the newbie?

Man, I've been waiting three months to say that!

Sweeeet!

My friend, if you think that Bill Clinton's book, MIchael Moore's book, Richard Clarke's book, Paul O'Neill's book, etc., has had one iota of impact of voters you have been smoking funny stuff. All those big numbers of book sales have done is line the pockets of Bill Clinton and Michael Moore, etc. with liberal fools cash! For goodness sakes, Bill, MIchael and Harvey Weinstein are laughing all the way to the bank. Like P.T. Barnum once said. "A Sucker Is Born Every Minute"! All you have to do is look at reality. John Kerry has had all these books and movies too, a massive contrived, but failed convention and he is going nowhere but down. I am a believer that most books/movies never have lasting impact, they are here today and gone tomorrow! Once in a great while a book comes along, like Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and changes the viewpoint against slavery. "Unfit for Command" has that potential to destroy John Kerry by telling the truth about a phony and a traitor that caused the the torture and death of American servicemen in Vietnam by his siding with the enemy. John Kerry should be in jail, not running for POTUS! End of story!!!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
Find out why John Kerry is Unfit for Command as told by the men who served with him
Unfit for Command reveals a John Kerry you don't know-the true John Kerry that his political image-makers are trying to hide. But the veterans who served with him know better, and in Unfit for Command, they tell their story, including:
* How all three of John Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, easily treated with band-aids, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization
* How captured Americans were tortured in North Vietnamese prisons for not endorsing John Kerry's false testimony-before the United States Senate-about alleged American war crimes
* How John Kerry carried a typewriter and an 8-mm home movie camera with him to Vietnam so he could record his own exaggerated version of his war exploits and film staged reenactments of his "combat actions" to advance his political career
* Why John Kerry's photograph hangs in a place of honor in the Vietnamese communist "War Remnants Museum" in Saigon
Want to know the real John Kerry? Read Unfit for Command-and prepare to be shocked.


From the Inside Flap
John Kerry, War Hero? Guess again.

John O'Neill was the naval officer who took over John Kerry's swift boat in the muddy waters of Vietnam. What he learned convinced him-and convinced the majority of veterans who served directly with Kerry-that John Kerry was and is unfit for command at the lowliest rank in the Navy, let alone as commander in chief of the United States.
In this stunning new book, John O'Neill and his coauthor Dr. Jerome Corsi (an expert on the anti-Vietnam War movement) have interviewed dozens of veterans who served with Kerry and have meticulously documented a shameful record of betrayal and deception on the part of John Kerry.
In Unfit for Command you'll learn:
* How two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire
* Why John Kerry's third Purple Heart "fanny wound" was the highlight of his much touted "no man left behind" Bronze Star
* How John Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident.
* How John Kerry entered an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter
* How John Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go-becoming the only swift boat veteran to serve only four-months in Vietnam
* How as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, John Kerry attended a meeting where plans were discussed to assassinate prominent United States Senators who supported the war
* How Kerry met secretly with communist delegates at the Paris Peace Conference during the Vietnam War, and why some believe he violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice and federal law
Based on detailed interviews with Swift Boat veterans who served in Vietnam with John Kerry and on recently released FBI surveillance reports of John Kerry's anti-war activities, Unfit for Command is a shocking indictment of a politician who slandered his fellow veterans, danced on the edge of treason, and has shamelessly exaggerated his own war service for political ends

About the Author
John O'Neill served in Coastal Division 11 in Vietnam and took command of PCF 94, John Kerry's swift boat, after Kerry's departure. Outraged by Kerry's anti-war slanders against his fellow veterans, O'Neill faced Kerry in a famous debate on the Dick Cavett Show in 1971 refuting Kerry's accusations of rampant American war crimes in Vietnam. A graduate of the Naval Academy, and from a Navy family, O'Neill is a lawyer in private practice in Houston.

Jerome Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and is an expert on political violence and the anti-war movement in the United States. The author of many articles and books, he lives in {TK}.

It's not that Amazon or any other bookseller should be discredited as liberal. Rather, people who may work there -- congenital, mindless, hard-wired liberals -- can affect decisions about purchasing the reviewing books, and give a whole enterprise a bad reputation.

Fortunately, the population expects more of its leaders than democrats can offer, and is coming around to a conservative point of view. The groundswell of conservatism that is kicking liberal butt this year will continue.

Gasp!

It's actually outselling the sKerry/Edwards 250 page outline of their agenda, political policies and plans to ruin America?

I guess O'Neill's book is a more interesting read than sKerry 249 blank pages and one word, "SUCKER!", on the center page.

I was just speculating--maybe he has a special place in his heart for the Village Voice.

Then he'll love Rick Perlstein, no?

Actually, the guy wrote a pretty fair, evenhanded biography of Barry Goldwater. I have to admit though, like most Goldwater biographies, I couldn't read it to completion.

Perhaps it's just that the man's life was so compelling that it defies description.
