George McGovern ran a better campaign than Kerry is running.

George McGovern had the distinct advantage of being a TRUE war hero. Thus his anti-war stands had the ring of credibility.

Kerry's heroics are in the realm of fiction.

Despite the healthy percentage of fascists among the liberals, even some of the lefties get the vapors when you start talking "book banning". This should be good.

The liberals have their books and films and concerts going, so now time to suppress the opposition. Stalin and Hitler would be proud. Mao probably would have sent us all to re-education camps, though, so we should consider ourselves lucky in at least that regard.

Sounds like Hillary wanting to control the flow of information on the Internet.

These Dems sure don't like free speech or free press -- when it isn't in their favor.

How ironic. I wonder what Ray Bradbury would say. He has his sequel here.

THE SWIFT BOAT VETS MUST DO A NEW ADD IMMEDIATELY. wITH THIS PICTURE AND THE STATEMENT THAT IN AMERICA WE STILL BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH, UNLIKE THE KERRY EDWARD CAMPAIGN.

I pray that Tahraaaza's Storm Troopers do us the favor of holding a book burning at the Repub Convention.

Rush is always so prescient.

He is not always 100% right, but he does have that "sixth sense" about politics.

He has been saying for a few months now that Kerry was going to implode.

The MSM has been working hard to cover for him, and is trying to hold it off.

When your enemy is in the midst of destroying themselves, stay out of the way.

What a bunch of maroons.

No - you're not. Drudge is just trying to hype this. However, the effect will be to kill the legitimacy of the book.

The book is legit. We have to be careful to make sure it stays that way.
