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'...

Wow. This morning I had a nice talk with my kids telling them that Kerry has finally slipped over the edge and is going to crash and burn in spectaular fashion.

Between his rants about this book and the Leftist protesters rioting in NYC next week, the "undecided middle" is going to come flocking to Bush's side in droves.

Bush will win 56-58% of the vote in November.

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.

The Kerry campaign has definitely Jumped The Shark.

That makes two. It's easier, though, when Kerry is the author of one of them.

Anyone calling for a book ban is NOT qualified to be president of the USA, period.

Ah, yes. As usual, when it comes down to it, the true enemies of freedom of speech are the leftists.

Last week, in Canada, the Canadian government warned churches not to talk about controversial subjects such as abortion before the election or it would yank their tax free status.

1984, here we come.

The demos coming out for censorship? I fear it's only a dream, but maybe.

Am I the only one that sees a striking similarity between Kerry and Al Sadr? As far as knowing they are in a losing position but calling for truces periodically and regrouping?
They must both read Sun Tzu.

I posted that Salon article on a liberal board I've managed to stay aflot on for the past 3 years or so.

The first response was from a guy wanting a Bozo feature so he wouldn't have to read my posts.

Another was from a guy who said "Kerry is all about the Truth and Bush is all about lies."

They can take it but they can't dish it out.

Liberal's believe in free speech for pornographers. And for themselves. Typical totalitarians. What' pigs.

Pigs is a great reminder that in Left-land, "some animals are more equal than others".

If anyone connected with the Kerry campaign has seriously tried to get the book pulled off the shelves, and it can be proven, Kerry is toast now. He'll be off the ticket by Labor Day and Hillary will be riding to the rescue as fast as her thundering herd can get her on a white horse.

I think that a "Bill-n-Hill" mole is entrenched in the Kerry camp...this along with many other moves are too stupid to NOT be sabotage!

Oh yeah, wanted to add that Drudge is milking this for every once of hype he can get....Which is fine with me.
