1. How real is this?
We all know how they like to manipulate data...they buy their own books to keep the numbers up.

None of them have touched the birther issue afaik And idk if WMD can do it on their own

13. in the discussions on that page it says that Drudge linked to it
it might be the bestseller right now, but it wasn't even on the list of bestsellers this week.

2. there's money in having no conscience
there are hundreds of journalists out there who strive to be fair and work to make sure their reporting is bulletproof. they spend a good deal of their lives in obscurity at small papers and do well to make ends meet.

meanwhile, a guy like Corsi can just make shit up and the rightwing propaganda machine will promote it all the way up the bestseller lists

12. Proves there's a lot of racist people in the country.
The birthers believe it because they want to believe it, because it validates their racist fantasies.

overtake this guy.

14. Yeah, but look what Michele Bachman did to Donald Trump this week...
He stepped into her birther fantasy land with both feet, then she pulls the football and claims she now realizes it's not a valid argument.

Republic politics is a real snake-pit, and there's always someone with a better, more devious angle.

15. Regnery Shit Peddler and Slim Pickens look-a-like Jerome Corsi.
Thouroughly discredited, thouroughly debunked, and AmeriKKKa still continues to employ and feed this red-faced piece of pulled-out fuck.

16. Gee, I wish I could get a book bought up in bulk lots by well funded political groups
Because that is exactly what is happening with this, and other such conservative books "written" by Palin, Beck and the other nutjobs.

A better gage is how quickly the book goes into the bargain bin. Most books of this sort go directly from the new book shelves straight to the half off, 75% off and finally the one dollar book bins. After that, the only place you will find them is in used book stores or at Goodwill or other such thrift stores.

18. Or MLM networks -
That's how the craptastic Rich Dad Poor Dad series got off the ground. Same process; buy in bulk, make best seller, who cares whether the content is factual or worthy? Mission Accomplished!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Hell, why stop at questioning his American birth. Unnamed sources tell me he might not even have been born on Earth!!!! Oh noes!!! He may be a reptilian like Bush and the Royals! Make him prove he's a homo sapien now!

Showing his foreskin would answer all the questions! Why won't he do it???
