Swift Boat Book Ban
Kerry's bunch just went into hissy fit overdrive.
The Kerry campaign has told Salon that the publisher of "Unfit for Command," the book that is at the center of the attack on Kerry's military record by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is retailing a hoax and should consider withdrawing it from bookstores. "No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them, especially falsehoods that are meant to smear the military service of an American veteran," said Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton. "If I were them, I'd be ducking under my desk wondering what to do. This is a serious problem."
Disclaimer: It's a Salon article, and I don't have a subscription so I haven't read the entire article.
But geez Louise, what the hell are they thinking?
Ad hominem attacks, threatening tv stations and now this is not the way to respond to these charges.....unless you want to appear guilty as sin.
Truth is always the best defense when you're innocent.
So c'mon Kerry. Bring it on.

Dammit, I'm going to have to buy it now just to prove a point. Even though I really don't want to read the thing. (I'm really burnt out on all things Kerry. Or maybe it's SBHFS.)
