Barnes and Noble: Something's not right with the Swiftvets book...

[Dickie Flatt]

Story: The image below was the cover image used at the Barnes and Noble online store for "Unfit for Command." Someone, somehow, got rid of the "Un" and changed the picture of Kerry. After this showed up on Drudge, someone tipped off Barnes and Noble. They took this image off of the book info page, and then put up the proper cover. The image you see below is coming to you direct from barnesandnoble.com and was publicly available on this page. If you don't believe it, remember: the image below is from barnesandnoble.com.

6. Read the title of the book carefully

7. Read the title over and over again

Unfit for Command

Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out against John Kerry

5. Well, the whole book is wrong. Full of lies and BS from people

who don't mind dishonoring every single veteran who ever served in a war and received a medal.

The only good thing about the book and the ad is that it will backfire. AWOL draft dodger Bush likes slimy smear tactics like that which will result in more and more veterans turning against him and voting for Kerry.

Kerry was willing to fight, kill, and die for his country. Dubya used his daddy's connections because he was too scared to look death in the eye

9. That would be a more accurate title. n/t

10. Funny-- B&N has the proper cover, but...

they still call it "Fit for Command."

And, curiously, there are no reviews.

11. I don't entirely 'get it' either, but I did find THIS on disinfopedia

~snip~
The Kos expended great effort to discover who O'Neill is and writes on April 22, 2004, that "We also found out that he's a partner at the Houston firm of Clements, O'Neill, Pierce, Wilson and Fulkerson. One of his co-partners is Margaret A. Wilson, who was George Bush's general counsel 1998-2000.

"Well, there's more about good ol' Margaret," the Kos continues. "She was a lawyer at Vinson & Elkins before she worked for Bush. Vinson & Elkins was Enron's main law firm -- the very firm that facilitated Enron's frauds. Vinson & Elkins was also the firm that spawned Alberto R. Gonzales -- Bush's current general counsel.

"In other words, Vinson & Elkins and COPWF are the very embodiment of the Houston good ol' boy Republican network. That this network spawn Kerry's harshest critic should be of no surprise (his career was probably made thanks to the Nixon dirty work). Thus, there should be no illusions that O'Neill is in any way an independent and impartial critic of John Kerry."

This piece at disinfopedia also says:

O'Neill "joined the Navy's Coastal Division 11 two months after the future senator left Vietnam," according to CNN.
