Publisher of upcoming 'birther' book makes no apologies
The publisher of an upcoming book questioning the circumstances of President Barack Obama’s birth took credit Wednesday for fueling conspiracy theories about the president’s origins, saying he paid for an army of private detectives in Hawaii and provided information about the issue to Donald Trump.

Joseph Farah, the founder and chief executive officer of World Net Daily, a conspiracy-mongering website with its own publishing arm, also said he has no intention of standing down despite the White House’s release of the so-called long form birth certificate showing that Obama was born in the state of Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, as he always has said.

“I’m not apologizing for nothing,” a defiant Farah said in a telephone interview with NBC News, insisting there are still questions about Obama’s citizenship aside from where he was born.

-----

More recently, Farah said he provided an advance copy of Corsi’s book to Trump two weeks ago, about the time the potential GOP presidential candidate began to take up the birther issue. Farah said Trump was one of the “very few” people who were provided a pre-publication copy of the book under a non-disclosure agreement.

2. So apparently Trump gets a copy 2 weeks ago and immediately believes it all
I wish somebody had given him something worthwhile to read instead.

5. Any ignorant, inarticulate white yahoo can write a book without having his authorship questioned
But our supremely eloquent President must have had a white guy write his books . . .

4. Writing for the ignorati is a lucrative niche market.
Especially when right wing sugar daddies buy up cases of books like they were bricks of cocaine.

6. Trump will live to regret the day he started listening to Farah and Corsi.
And I predict a spectacular falling out in the near future - Trump will attempt to revive his "brand" by throwing Farah and Corsi under the bus.

7. He still wants his book to seem relevant. And the reason that Trump kept refusing to look at
Obama's "long form" bc is because he didn't get the latest updates from Farah/Corsi yet. THOSE are his "investigators" and the people he says he "heard" or "read" things from.

8. sadly, it's still in the top 10 on Amazon
so, even though the bullshit premise of the book is now an outdated bullshit premise, rightwingers are still putting in orders

just goes to show you that no amount of proof will ever satisfy these racist lunatics
