And at the top of the list .... these insightful, well thought out comments

[truthseeker]

I for one will at least try to read the book as though reading a book about someone's service in the Civil War or the Revolutionary War or the Seven Years War or The Peloponnesian War for that matter.

Set partisan passions aside. I don't like Kerry, but I didn't need his Vietnam service to come to that conclusion.

Do the authors make their case? For all the yelling on TV lately (anybody see the Carville/Davis/Novak "Crossfire" show last week?).......precious little discussion of the facts. Not for lack of trying on O'Neill's part, mind you.

Hopefully I'll have the book myself in a week or so..........

You don't even have to read the book to post a review at Amazon and some people post reviews of books, dvds, cds ect with alterior motives.Sometimes people will post negative reviews of books they've never read for no other reason then to bring down the book's rating. Don't be surprised if you see a number of 1 star reviews for "Unfit for Command" by people upset that the book has become a bestseller.

I'm reading "Unfit for Command" when I'm finished I'll post my own detailed review.

[Lily]

Well I have not seen this happen before but earlier today there were 6 reviews of "Unfit for Command" at amazon three of the "reviews" were negative and essentially propaganda not actual reviews of the book. Amazon has removed the 3 negative "reviews" that were really just propaganda.It's one thing to post a negative review it's quite another to post Kerry campaign propaganda. Good work amazon.

After seeing those reviews I wrote amazon and told them to remove any
information they have on me from their site. I buy books there and
will not do so again if this is the way they are going to continue to treat
the vets.

Felt good, but now I cannot buy books there, but it does not matter, I
have a Chapters a few minutes from my house and I phoned there and
they are getting only two of the books. Two! I had them put one away,
and told them it might be wise to get some more.

I am going to phone every Chapters in my city and suggest they get more, as it is going to be wanted by their customers.

Cjg,

Did you notice that amazon has removed those reviews?

[mascari]

There are only 2 reviews there now, both positive of the book. I posted my own review, and I actually bought mine from Amazon, so we'll see if it ends up being posted.

Apparently, you can post reviews without buying/reading the book:

Reviewer: Steven Buxbaum (Hillsdale, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This book is the hatchet job of the century. I read it at Barnes & Noble, so didn't actually have to spend money to make these clowns rich. My advice is: don't spend your money. The book is clearly on a mission, rather than being in any sense objective.

The tactic of giving 1 star to books with a Conservative bent is an old one. Be prepared to see many "Lefty reviews" posted. I'm surprised there aren't alot more there already.

This also happened with Dick Morris' book 'Rewriting History' about the real Hillary. Funny how the mainstream press ignored this book also. Morris was friends with and worked for the Clintons, yet he gets attacked as a Right wing fanatic. He "served" with them for 20 years.

It's amazing to see the parallels between Hillary and Kerry with their pathological lying. For instance...

1. Hillary claims to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though she was born 5 years before he climbed Mt. Everest and became famous.

2. Hillary claims she became enlightened about racist issues while playing junior high soccer. Trouble is, her junior high didn't have a soccer team until she was 38 yrs. old.

3. In an interview with Katy Couric after 9/11, she tells a heartwrenching story of being so worried about Chelsea that morning her daughter was going jogging by the towers. Luckily, she said, that Chelsea stopped to get coffee(on her jog?) just before the first plane hit. Touching story, but in an interview with (or article written by, I forget), Chelsea tells of a friend calling her and telling to turn on the TV, which she did just in time to see the 2nd plane crash into the tower.

Sorry if this seems a little off topic, but it shows what we're up against with the media. Their darlings got non-stop coverage of their books, but how many of you were aware of Dick Morris' book? And he was quite complimentary of Hillary in many ways. Liberals know they can lie and the media will not expose it. BTW, I don't believe that hamster story... it sounded a little too much like the goldfish story told by Patty Davis at President Reagan's funeral.

Anyway as of now, Unfit has a rating of 3-1/2 stars with 15 reviews.
It's rated #1 on the best seller list!!!

[MassInd]

Interesting...Now there are only 13 reviews and the one I quoted above is gone. Maybe you do have to buy the book from them. It's good to know Amazon is keeping an eye on things for a change.

I wish this web site would sell the book...I'd be willing to pay a premium and deprive BN and Amazon of revenue.
