Now who can tell me with a straight fact that this guy isn't a foot-tapper, or a former Roman Catholic priest?

Jerome Corsi now knows why the back of Barack Obama's hand tastes like cinnamon.

"Once again, bigoted fringe author Jerome Corsi is trying to make money off of an election, spinning garbage as journalism and relying on the right-wing echo chamber FOX News to pump up sales."

so this guy wrote a critique of Obama's books, but apparently did not read either one. the errors are so glaring it's almost as if he didn't think anyone would be reading his book either.

It bothers me so much. I posted under the (false) assumption that any guest would chime in with "hey, is a truther. That means Bush was in on 9/11. You really willing to take his word for it?" completely forgetting that all of their guests are a part of the echo chamber of retardation.

My bad.

My brain is gone from real life crap. WTH is a "truther" again? I can't remember if that's the creationism wackjobs or the 9/11 nuts.

Corsi writes for World Net Daily, a conservative Web site whose lead headline Thursday was "Astonishing photo claims: Dead Bigfoot stored on ice."

In a series of Web posts several years ago, Corsi said Pope John Paul II was senile and unconcerned about sexual molestation of boys, referred to Islam is "a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion" and suggested Kerry was secretly Jewish.

Corsi apologized for the remarks and now says he didn't mean them and was simply trying to provoke discussion.

in "train of logic" yes. But technically they're 9/11.

THIS is the difference between Kerry and Obama in terms of raw political intelligence. Kerry just sat there with his thumb up his ass when attacked like this. Obama is very, VERY smart. Guess you DO learn something in Chicago politics, huh?

Technically, you don't NEED to read his book if it's quoted enough as a "valid" reference.

Which isn't surprising when you look at the "chain of evidence" from the "truther" playbook as well. To be honest, a lot of what this Administration has fallen back upon is a well organized publishing net--articles published in one publication, are quoted to another, to another, and then fed into press releases, as multiply cited references, and then spun as having actually been peer reviewed as scholarship. When in fact, it's gone a round robin between inter related and similarly funded, if not entirely funded by the same organizations.

When you control your own pool of scholars to spin things, and then use them as reference, it's not quite like lying. It's just farming it out, and then claiming you thought it was "thought provoking" enough to be injected into the discussion.

And it's a cheap and dirty, and only sullies the public discourse.

What is fun, is that these are the same folks who then attack others' scholarship and references--which I suppose, it takes one to one...

Wonder if the MSM will give this anywhere near the publicity they're giving Corsi's book.

Does it occur to none of these retards that, "Hey, that Corsi guy wrote a book trashing Kerry, too. Maybe he has a political agenda that encourages him to twist the facts."

Nahhhh.

Well, I doubt Cori will be doing much more publicity for his book on major news outlets. The errors in his book are just glaring.

Here's a small one: Corsi claims Obama did not dedicate his book to his family, but it's right there on the first page, a dedication to all of his family.

It's such a blatantly stupid and obvious mistake, it throws everything he writes into doubt. I mean, after all, how hard is it to pick up a book to see who it's dedicated too.

He can't do any more publicity anywhere but Hannity and Comley and Rush, he'll get ripped to shreds.

You mean like they took notice of how Kerry didn't address anything? Please. Just admit that your vision is skewed by the partisan blinder for a moment. Obama picks up a penny off the tarmac, that means something. He's cheap, he's hands are going to be dirty, and he's going to kill people by risking a staph infection, what is it? What's the talking point?

He's an elitist. He's trying to talk down to folks. He's playing a part if he goes to a movie. If he looks at his wife. He picks up his kids. He's too skinny. It doesn't matter what he does, folks are going to pick it apart, as being this or that--as opposed to exactly what it is.

Or rather, there are folks who are getting paid good money to interpret these actions for people...

Refuting lies is "getting your panties in a wad." So if I went around telling your friends at the Klave or the militia camp or wherever the hell it is you hang out that you were a fag and that there were videos of you on Youtube kissing guys, you'd just not say anything about it?
