The "new" face of the Democratic party. (Well, not really new. We've know this is where they were going for a long time).

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 'retailing a hoax'... 'No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them,' Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton tells the online mag... Developing...
Where is the Konigratzer March?
Banning books is no problem for the 50% of the electorate who does not read and , oh BTW, gets their news from the MSM.
Regnery --Print an order for a million. You have a blockbuster. You can't pay enough money for publicity like this.
Some Freepers were throwing around the term "jump the shark" a few weeks ago.. May be time to trot that out again if this is true.
My guess is this will turn out to be an anonymous source or some doofus thinking out loud. Kerry will backpedal on this like a crawdad runs from a Cajun with a gunny sack.
Ah...the party of free speech!
They are screwing this up soooo bad.
Saying the vets are doing GW's "dirty work."
Trying to silence the critics, get the ads off the air, and ban the book.
All this points to is that they know the truth is damaging, but it brings so much more attention to the matter than if they had just shut up.
It's like the furor before The Passion was released. Every insult in the book was thrown at the movie, and what happened....it grossed more than anyone could have expected.
Heh heh. I love it.
Bring it on-O.K release your medical records and let people read the book.

Bookstores have entire sections devoted to the Bush bashing genre and he wants to ban one book that is difficult to find? (I got mine last night!)

I still think it HAS to be an exaggeration.
But Lord, if he actually came right out and said something like "I hope bookstores won't sell it"...
Scratch Kerry, uncover a tyrant.
Their best bets would have been to either ignore and dismiss it completely, or to agree to release all the records and then shut up about it.
Kerry Campaign making a major mistake
I'm going to my book store today and if they don't have it I'm going to order it.
