KERRY CAMPAIGN CALLS FOR BOOK BAN

Drudge Report | 8/20/04 | Drudge

[Jewels1091]

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...

This is kinda of tragic- I kinda feel sorry for the old horse face liberal

[BSunday]

Liberals vs. free speech has a lot of advertising potential

That should be BC04's next tv ad.

Indeed, my friend, the wait is over. This is absolutely stunning.

The song is already up and running --- LIGHT MY FIRE

In a separate note, the Kerry campaign continues to express no comparable moral outrage over Farenheit 911

I was going to reply with the pictture of Michael Moore in the Presidential box at the Dem convention...it seems to have "DISAPPEARED" from both Drudge and here....Anyone have a copy??

He won't allow his book that he wrote in 1971 to come back into print either.

They're selling for big bucks if you can even find one.

I think this definitely shows a pattern. LOL

I just put www.swiftboatvets.com into my address bar and look what came up:

Smear Boat Veterans for Bush

It's a little late sKerry. The book is out, the horses have left the barn, Elvis has left the building, and your goose is cooked.

And as John O'neill said the other night (I believe on Scarborough) "The jig is up!"

Rant of the day (number 1 of goodness knows how many):

Proven falsehoods? He hasn't definitively proven any of the things in the book are falsehoods. In fact, the Swift Vets provided all their documentation and Kerry has yet to supply his. He hasn't proven a damn thing. He makes his Vietnam service the center of his campaign then cries like a baby when people question him on it.

I didn't see anyone calling for the banning of Michael Moore's movie, which also had proven falsehoods in it. I don't see anyone calling for the banning of books that claim aliens built the pyramids. Banning a book sets a dangerous precedent that cannot be reversed. To Kerry, freedom of speech and freedom of the press only applies when he's being praised. It shows that he doesn't understand our Constitution and has absolutely no right to be president of this great country.

Everyday I become more and more amazed at the crap coming out of the Kerry camp and even more stunned that people support this fraud. As has been said before and will be said again, people don't like John Kerry, they hate George Bush. Electing someone to be commander-in-chief of the most powerful and richest country in the world based on the hatred of one man is a sure recipe for disaster.

I agree. Ignoring was their best tactic, and they blew it big time. Not only do they have no plan and no message, but now they are forced to defend an indefensible position.

[codercpc]

Somebody yesterday, said that they called the publisher about the lack of books available. They were told the book was in its seventh printing!!!

If that person (I can't remember where I read it) could call the publisher back, we could either confirm or debunk this allegation.

I just put www.swiftboatvets.com into my address bar and look what came up:

The correct site is at a .org domain.

They should have also bought the .com domain, but I guess they didn't.

Do you remember how trying to ban F/911 made more people want to see it? Too bad there isn't a Cannes for new political books.

Ha! Can you imagine the reaction from the Cannes crowd to an anti-Kerry book/movie. Being a war phony probably makes him an even more attractive candidate to the French.

[Reagan Man]

John Kerry is losing the debate on his Vietnam war record, so he demands that John O'Neill's book, Unfit for Command, be pulled form bookstores.

Let's call this what it is. This is pure fascism, plain and simple. It's Farhenheit 451! Obviously, the Kerry campaign is beginning a slow meltdown. Seemingly, the Kerry campaign can't take the heat and it can't handle the pressure of a general election campaign.

[beansox]

a friend told me that Borders had already pulled theirs and are telling customers its been pulled for telling too many lies and falsehoods. Is that true?

[ItIsATigerIMarried]

How can his media enablers continue to hammer away at Kerry's supposed attackers when their hero has called for his critics to be gagged without appearing to endorse his position on curbing free speech?

Inconsistency doesn't stop Democrates.
