The American Spectator

Sorry Ron, the publisher VOLUNTARILY decided to withdraw the book when they were shown FACTS that the main contentions and accusations against Bush in the book were 100% false and the only source was an ex-convict and drug addict with an axe to grind.

The publisher was embarrassed they had green-lighted such a shoddy manuscript and instead of tainting their future revenues they pulled the plug simply because it was sold as fact when it wasn’t.

The Swift Boat Vets, 60-64 of them with over 200 signing off, were there and remember things differently than Kerry. There are no facts to ascertain because most, if not all, of the military records released or used by Kerry were written by Kerry. Don’t you think if Kerry was so heroic in any of the situations he claims that at least one of the 200-250 fellow veterans would have put him in for an award? The odds say that would be the case. Even Rassmann, the guy he pulled out of the water and on the Kerry campaign payroll, didn’t file any paperwork for the incident.

p>And what Kerry is trying to suppress is the free speech of men that have different recollections from the ones Kerry touts. If Kerry has the actual facts then he should sign the forms and have ALL the records released and not just the select few that paint him in a favorable light. Wouldn’t these records have corroborating testimony? br> — Greg Barnard br> Franklin, Tennessee /p> p> KEYLESS br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Judgment and Character : /p> p>Just want to mention that you absolutely “nailed it.” If people would spend one hour of research on this guy, they wouldn’t even let this guy drive their car. Yet, here we are putting him in a viable position of giving him the keys to our country.
