Amazon needs some book reviews for the swiftboat liars "book"
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 09:29 PM by Bozita
Only 5 reviews, 4 are very favorable.

Take a look:

I'd love to see Bob Boudelang's thoughts on this.

3. I think these assholes are completely full of shit, but...
how do you review a book that you haven't read. I won't read it. The whole book is just Karl Rove speaking through some very partisan vets.

4. See my review under "American Patriot"
:evilgrin:

For some reason, it's not showing up, but here's my pathetically biased statement.

While Bush was snorting cocain and paying for his girlfriends ILLEGAL abortion, John Kerry was heroically serving his country in Vietnam! Bush supporters who know Bush can't stand on the issues, have attempted to smear, not only John Kerry but the many men who served with honor along side him. Only one of the Swiftboat liars (in the book) actually served WITH John Kerry, and his NEW accounts conflict his own previous statements. Further, Kerry's own crew calls him a HERO! This book is trash, save your money and donate it to the Kerry campaign so we can get this country back on track.

For an accurate accounting of Kerry's record see:

12. Amazon has changed their policy
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 10:20 AM by A_Possum
They are not posting or taking down blatantly politicized reviews. So if you want to get a negative review actually posted, you'd better keep it to a critique of the book on its merits, and downplay your politics.

Just sayin'.

They have chosen to ignore negative reviews it appears. I figure we turned in at least three. Screw Amazon, I'll never buy another book from them.

17. I typed out my response, he he, but they said the "service is temporarily
unavailable". Probably freaking out about all the negative "reviews" coming in. No problem I minimized the link and copied my message (it was a good one). They will hear from me sooner or later. :D

18. I went to their suggestion box

And stated that the book it's self was political in nature and, in fact, politically motivated. To refuse to post negative reviews is A self serving ploy to sell the book or that they were supportive of the Premise that Kerry is a treasonous rat and undeserving of his awards. To deny any veteran the right to post a negative review in defense of how his awards were earned is less than supportive of the troops on their part.

I further pointed out that I knew of several who posted negative reviews and if they were about to try some lame, Bull shit reply not to bother and if I do not see some negative post show up quickly they can drop me from the customer list. "service temporarly unavailable' is some weak crap because they posted two glowing pubie regurgitated reviews today.

Lets not let em off easy on this issue!
