Rachel reports on the book by Jerome Corsi titled Obama Nation which will be coming out as number one on the New York Times best seller list and goes over Corsi's past books and assertions. The Obama campaign is fighting back with a forty page rebuttal titled Unfit for Publication. Eric Burns weighs in on the book's author, intent, content and why it is on the best sellers list.

1. Bill Clinton knew how to handle the GOP noise machine

In 1992, when the campaign of Bush the Preppy stretched the truth about Clinton's record as governor of Arkansas, Clinton's was ready with a response to the stretcher just as fast as James Carville's fax machine would get it out.

There was no lie ridiculous enough not to take seriously.

We should be happy to hear that President-in-waiting Obama is following this model.

2. FORCE John McCain to Respond!!!

Someone needs to take this issue directly to McCain in an interview, town hall, press conference, whatever. They should read the laundry list of of details that Rachel lays out in this video and then ask -- DO YOU DENOUNCE JEROME CORSI AND HIS BOOK?

3. Media too timid

With the exception of Olbermann and Maddow the media is too timid to actually ask real questions.

4. If J. Corsi's Book is Rife with Errors and Inaccuracies, what line has to be crossed for Libel? n/t

5. UGH!

This guy admits to not even reading the book, yet he's given time to comment on it!

:puke:

6. Here is just one of the many viral email against dems I've been getting lately

A NOTE FROM ROBERT STEVENSON EXPRESSING HIS VIEW AND OPINION



WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT

I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of
spending the money I earn than I would.

I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is
offended by it.

I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad
guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it
will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in
ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of
millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to
make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away
to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the
Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get
their agendas past the voters.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe that open borders and government
give-aways to foreigners is a great way to grow a nation.



I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I
know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and
thieves.

I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I
want. I've decided to marry my horse.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a
gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas
at 15% isn't.



I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass it's
unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view."

And they wonder why we want them gone from government...these "repubs" Publicans is more fitting.

9. It just sickens me that there are people that still thing democrats are bad and republicans are good

Everyone of those points can be easilly dismissed with only a few words. It's sad. These people are so eaten up by ignorance that they flush their own interests down the toilet so their bosses can walk away with their money. Maybe re-education camps aren't such a bad idea.

7. Corsi

Why does the mainstream media continue to promote this freaks books? Who is behind their quick and timely publishing?

[curiousdemo]

8. Didn't this guy used to work for

Fox News. I guess he seen the light...

[underpants]

10. YEah he did. Burns must have gotten (or is about to) bumped

He was on a, hosted in fact, a Sunday morning show about news coverage.... no more I suspect

[The Wizard]

11. Any school that gave Corsi a Ph.D

should be decertified as an institution of higher learning. Anyone who cites themselves as a source in footnotes is selling snake oil, poisonous snake oil. Poisonous snakes cause fewer deaths than Republicans.
