The Case Against Jerome Corsi (Author Of The Obama Nation)
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 02:49 PM by ihavenobias
This was posted in the TYT discussion forum and I wanted to share the introduction. BTW, I realize that some of you subscribe to some of the 9/11 theories, but keep in mind this wasn't written so much to convince the progressive community (I mean, we're already convinced that Corsi is full of BS on Obama, right?) as it was to make others who are more open to Corsi question his credibility. And to give us the incredibly damaging quotes to make it happen. Keep that frame of rerefence in mind.

The Case Against Jerome Corsi
By MrFred

If you didn't know, Jerome Corsi authored the slanderous book The Obama Nation. As you might have guessed Jerome Corsi is a self absorbed, self aggrandizing misogynistic racist and right wing ideologue beneath contempt. In other words, he's an idiot.

It's really that simple. He writes conservative slash and burn "exposes" based on half-truths, fabrication and lies. He is one of the few "pundits" I can think of that was ever banned by Hannity and Colmes.

Cenk's 'favorite' Conservative Talk Show host, Debbie Schlussel caught Corsi plagiarizing her writing red handed:

"Apparently, when something says "World Net Daily Exclusive," it means World Net Daily Rip-off. That's the case, with Swift Boat author, Jerome Corsi, who today in a WND piece demonstrated that he is nothing but a full-fledged plagiarist. A thief. Did he also rip off his NY Times best-selling "Swift Boat" book against John Kerry? ."

Recently Corsi had the dubious distinction of being trounced by, Michael Medved, yes, Michael Medved, for his support of 911 conspiracy theories. Of his interview with Corsi Medved wrote:

"While I don't think Corsi is any more worthy of being taken seriously than those who think Jews rule the world or the "Truthers" who think President Bush is responsible for 9/11, I thought I would respond to him one last time."

In addition to 9/11 conspiracy theories,
Corsi contends that President Bush(R) is trying to merge the United states with Mexico and Canada and the DNC secretly supports Iranian nuclear programs through Hollywood fund raisers.

Finally, Corsi is also a prominent endorser of the concept of "abiotic oil" production; the lunatic fringe idea that oil is naturally produced underground through methods other than the scientifically accepted processes . This he uses to counter "peak oil" and global warming concerns.

Simply put, when reality doesn't suit Mr Corsi's conservative tastes...he makes up his own.

Don't take my word for it...


There is A LOT more to this breakdown and discrediting of Corsi and his many damaging quotes, so I highly recommend that you . After you click the link, scroll down.

3. His title is really stupid
It goes against his premise and makes this nation sound like it loves Obama. Sort of like McMean using "Running on Empty" for a song title, what was he thinking. Too inadvertently true! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

4. It's worse than that
It's a cutesy poo play on "abomination."

Corsi is an asshole. I hope he gets what he deserves. I want to watch.

6. Well, a lot of people think he called it Obama Nation to make it sound like Abomination.
You know, another crazy reference to the anti-christ or whatever.

10. I didn't get that!
And that means 9 out of 10 swing voters won't get it either!!!!!

"Abomination?" The freepers even know this word? I'm impressed!

But I honestly did not get that, and I'm no dummy at least IMHO.

18. He's never publicly denied that he is a pedophile, either.
There's lots of evidence to support the accusation.
