Jerome Corsi's Book of Lies

Check Out Corsi's Hate Flag On His Lapel

Of course I'm not surprised. The same crackpot who disparaged John Kerry is at it again. He has written Obama Nation to help give justification to those people who are afraid to admit they do not want to vote for Barack Obama because he is black and has the middle name Hussein. Barack Obama is pushing back on his website Really Long Link t to show America what a loon Jerome Corsi is. America had another 4 long destructive years with the help of Jerome and his propaganda so I thought it was far too important not to expose his lies on my blog. Again, I want to emphasise that the information below came directly from Barack Obama's website.

TOO CRAZY EVEN FOR SWIFTBOAT LIARS

Corsi Was Dropped From Unfit for Command Promotions Because of His Anti-Muslim, Anti-Catholic Comments. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote in an editorial, "Consider the book "Unfit for Command," put out by a collection of partisans who have now made it acceptable for veterans to attack each other's war records. The current National Review carries a piece decrying the bookstores that fail to carry "John O'Neill's book." This is curious in that the volume has a second author, but Jerome Corsi has dropped from the marketing because he has been revealed as the author of religiously bigoted remarks published on a Web site. Corsi not only considers Muslims to be pederasts, but he took the trouble to slam Catholic priests and refers to the pope as senile. Rather than wonder whether a book written by such a man can be trusted, the marketing tactic has shifted to pretend Corsi doesn't exist." [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Pennsylvania), 9/19/04]

O'Neill Tried to Minimize Corsi's Role in Unfit for Command After Bigoted Comments Came to Light. "In a bit of historical revisionism, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth founder and Unfit for Command co-author John O'Neill distorted Jerome Corsi's role in co-authoring the book. O'Neill's backtracking comes on the heels of Media Matters for America's documentation of Corsi's history of posting bigoted comments. During appearances on MSNBC's Scarborough Country on August 10 and CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports on August 11, O'Neill downplayed Corsi's role in writing the book. When asked about Corsi's involvement, O'Neill asserted, Corsi was "simply an editor and not really any sort of co-author." But an MMFA item entitled "Unfit book materials show Corsi more than just an 'editor,'" revealed Corsi to be much more than simply an editor of the anti- Kerry book. [Media Matters Press Release, 8/13/04]

"Anti-Kerry Book Author Apologizes for Slurs." "One of the authors of a new anti-John Kerry book frequently posted comments on a conservative Web site describing Muslims and Catholics as pedophiles and Pope John Paul II as senile. In chat room entry last year on freerepublic.com, Corsi writes: 'Islam is a peaceful religion - just as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed.' In another entry, he says: 'So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the lawyers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's probably about it'." [AP, 8/10/04]

ONE PARANOID BOOK OF LIES AFTER ANOTHER

Corsi Wrote a Book Saying Bush's "Globalist Agenda" Is Leading to a North American Union. "The real reason behind President Bush's push for immigration reform, says author Jerome R. Corsi, is to unite the United States, Mexico and Canada by erasing borders and creating a "North American Union." That is the theme of Mr. Corsi's new book, "The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada," which says the Bush administration's 'globalist agenda' is leading to a merger of the countries through the implementation of policies and laws to open trade barriers and renovate the highway systems in anticipation of increased travel within the new megastate. Mr. Corsi said a growing number of Americans think the North American Union is being forced onto Americans. Government officials say the idea is no more than an unjustified conspiracy theory spread through the Internet. Mr. Corsi said the impetus of the plan was the creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, announced by leaders of the United States, Mexico and Canada at Waco, Texas, in 2005." [Washington Times, 7/18/07]

Conservative Human Events Writer: Corsi Isn't "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." Under the headline "There Isn't Going to Be a North American Union," John Hawkins wrote, "Yesterday, Jerome Corsi was prattling on about the North American Union again after Michael Medved deservedly spanked him for spreading conspiracy theories. 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. (I think that's about the fourth time I've said that.) Now, why respond again? What's the point? Well unfortunately, a lot of conservatives consider this conspiracy theory to be so preposterous that they believe it's beneath them to even bother discussing it, and that leaves Corsi and his ilk to dominate the debate. And since there are a lot of conservatives being taken in by this North American Union nonsense, somebody has got to step up to the plate." [Human Events Online, 1/10/07]

Editor of Human Events: "I Guess There Are People Who Believe In" Corsi's North American Union Conspiracy, "But There Are People Who Believe In Bigfoot." "Corsi plays on growing nationalist fears. He sees a scenario in which a North American Union is born and shares a currency, the "amero." Even some right-wing standard-bearers regard the fears as over-blown. Jed Babbin, editor of the conservative newspaper Human Events, says: "I guess there are people who believe in [the plan for a North American Union]. But there are people who believe in Bigfoot." [Newsweek, 12/10/07]

Corsi Wrote a Book Disagreeing With Most Scientists That There is a Limit to Oil. "All his life, Jerome Corsi's been told that we're running out of oil. "I remember driving with my dad in a 1952 Plymouth and listening to him talk about the end of oil," says the 59-year-old New Jersey author. "Hasn't happened yet, and it's not going to happen." What makes him so sure? He doesn't buy the fossil fuel theory--that oil comes from dead plants and dinosaurs. He believes it comes out of the ground naturally, and that there's more coming up all the time...Eighteenth century Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov found biological debris in oil and concluded that it must have biological origin. "I'm at the point where the dinosaur theory seems silly," says Corsi. "You take a pile of cats and you bury them, dig them up 10 years later and you don't get oil." "The truth is that there is so much oil around the world that it's been easy to find," Corsi says. "We're awash in oil. There's more oil today in proven reserves than ever before in human history." [Western Standard (Alberta), 2/13/06]

Corsi Wrote a Book Claiming Democrats Were Being Corrupted by Iranian Funding and Helping Iranians Get Nukes. "After their bitter campaign 2004 experience with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, John Kerry and his fellow Dems aren't waiting to be shot at again. Yesterday, aides to Sens. Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy jumped all over literary mugger Jerome Corsi, co-author of the Kerry-bashing best seller 'Unfit for Command.' They knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the face (metaphorically, anyway) over his next Democrattrashing tome, 'Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians.' The book - which Nashville's Cumberland House Publishing won't release till next month - claims Democratic pols are being corrupted by Iranian money and helping the nuke-seeking mullahs in Tehran." [Daily News (New York), 2/24/05]

Corsi Wrote Unfit For Command Although He Was Not a Veteran. "Though not a veteran himself, Corsi co-authored ``Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." [Boston Herald, 1/25/05]

THE WRITINGS OF A PARANOID AND HATEFUL MAN

* "Just don't let anybody put a tablet with the Ten Commandments in front of the school where that girl wants to wear a Muslim scarf -- OH, No --- then the RATS would complain. Anti- Christian, Anti-American -- just like their Presidential Candidate -- Jean Francois Kerrie."
* "After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal gradparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?"
* "Kerry has a long history of Communist supporters."
* "Kerry offers a clear choice. Anti-American hatred."

Or Arabs whose racial hatred of Jews drives them to create secret societies of terrorists sworn to eliminate Israel and all states who support Israel?" [5/20/02]
* "Finally a way to end Jihad. Maybe the whole Arab world will blow itself up -- live by the sword, die by the sword -- seems an ancient formula. Bye, Bye Jihad." [5/20/02]
* "I repeat: Muslims, cancer cells. It's hard to tell the difference. No doctor worries about the First Amendment rights of cancer cells. The therapy is to eliminate cancer cells so the body can go on living. Great to repeat it -- keeps the thread going. Let the Muslims stop preaching terror and I'll revise my view. Meanwhile, Muslims, cancer cells is an equation that works." [5/20/02]

* "File under the category "Islam is a worthless, violent CULT, not a Religion."[3/28/02]

CORSI HAS LOST TOUCH WITH EVEN THE FALSE REALITY HE LIVES IN

FALSE: "We find there is even uncertainty whether Stanley Ann and Obama Senior were ever married in a church." [p. 44]
REALITY:CORSI ADMITS ON THE SAME PAGE THAT OBAMA'S PARENTS HAD A LEGAL AMERICAN MARRIAGE

TIME Reported On Obama's Parents' Divorce Records. TIME reported, "On Feb. 2, 1961, several months after they met, Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records." [TIME, 4/9/08]

Corsi Cites Time Story To Say "Divorce Papers Confirm..." Corsi wrote, "Other sources say divorce papers confirm that a civil ceremony was held on Maui, on February 2, 1961, when Ann was three months pregnant with Obama." Corsi cites the April 9th, 2008 Time story for his reference to Obama's parents' wedding. [p. 44]

EVEN A LITTLE BASIC RESEARCH DISPROVES CORSI'S FABRICATIONS

FALSE: "Senator Obama could claim to be a citizen of Kenya, as well as of the United States. Obama can trace his heritage back to his mother, who was born in the United States and was an American citizen when he was born, and to his father, who was born in Kenya and was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born." [p 103]
REALITY: OBAMA CANNOT CLAIM KENYAN CITIZENSHIP

Kenya Does Not Allow Dual Citizenship Applications for People Over 21 Years of Age. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management writes of Kenya, "DUAL CITIZENSHIP: Not recognized except for persons under 21 years old." The Kenyan Constitution writes, "A person who, but for the proviso to section 87 (1), would be a citizen of Kenya by virtue of that subsection shall be entitled, upon making application before the specified date in such manner as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament, to be registered as a citizen of Kenya: Provided that a person who has not attained the age of twenty-one years (other than a woman who is or has been married) may not himself make an application under this subsection, but an application may be made on his behalf by his parent or guardian." [U.S. Office of Personnel Management; Kenyan Constitution]

Even if Obama Had Applied for Dual Citizenship Before He Was 21--Which He Did Not--It Would Have Expired. "A person who, upon the attainment of the age of twenty-one years, is a citizen of Kenya and also a citizen of some other country other than Kenya shall, subject to subsection (7), cease to be a citizen of Kenya upon the specified date unless he has renounced his citizenship of that other country, taken the oath of allegiance and, in the case of a person who was born outside Kenya, made and registered such declaration of his intentions concerning residence as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament." [Kenyan Constitution]

INVENTING WILD CONSPIRACIES ABOUT ANYTHING HE CAN

Corsi Wrote a Book Claiming Democrats Were Being Corrupted by Iranian Funding and Helping Iranians Get Nukes. "After their bitter campaign 2004 experience with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, John Kerry and his fellow Dems aren't waiting to be shot at again. Yesterday, aides to Sens. Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy jumped all over literary mugger Jerome Corsi, co-author of the Kerry-bashing best seller 'Unfit for Command.'

Latte Sipping, Volvo Driving Liberal and Proud of it!

Liberal Elixir

Time and time again I have sat back and watched certain bloggers in the Orble network pounce on liberals as if we are ruining the United States and the world. I have read Right wing blogs calling us baby killers. I’ve seen allegations of demise in moral codes because of our resistance to have the government mandate certain behaviors. Well on behalf of all of my liberal pals in the blog network, I am here today to fight back. I am sick and tired of the Right being wrong. Some of these Right wing bloggers and their sanctimonious attitudes act as if they one wing and the other one is coming C.O.D. They’re arrogance is such that one might believe that all conservative bloggers are fourth in line of the Trinity. You know who you are if you fit in this category. Let me remind you that it is your votes who have elected the worse President in American history into office not once, but twice. It is this administration that has made our country an embarrassment in the worldwide arena.
I am often confronted by some of these conservative bloggers asking me how I feel about Gay marriage and abortion. Well frankly it is none of your business. As a proud latte sipping, Volvo driving liberal, it is not anyone’s business really. That is the whole point. Live your life without the government intruding in it and denying anyone the ability to pursue happiness.

McCain Opposed Holiday for Civil Rights Leader Rev Dr. Marting Luther King Jr.

August 28, 2008 marks the 45th Anniversary of slain civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's. delivery of his famous I Have a Dream Speech. The March on Washington as it is known, applied pressure to the Kennedy administration to advance civil rights in congress.

McCain Plagiarized Wikipedia Like a Right Wing Puppet

John McCain is a Phony

In a recent foreign policy speech put together to accentuate John McCain’s knowledge of the current conflict in the Caucuses, John McCain proved that he is no more than a right wing puppet. It has been discovered that part of his speech was plagiarized from Wikipedia

W: From Frat Boy to President

Josh Portrays George W. Bush

I have posted the movie trailer "W" to my blog. You can watch it right here. The new “W” trailer has been making its rounds on the internet since early this week. “W” a movie by world renowned film maker Oliver Stone depicts George W. Bush’s transition from a partying frat boy to President of the United States. I am definitely interested in seeing this movie. One has to wonder how anyone could go from one extreme to another with those days of partying being manipulated and dissected by the American press. In the movie “W” you will also see depictions of Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice and Dick Cheney (Dick Cheney is played by Richard Dreyfuss).
This movie is scheduled to premiere in October right before our Presidential elections. Conservatives are already arguing that this is slanted to make George W. Bush look as if he is incompetent and was handed the Presidency. I wonder if we really needed this move to gain that perception. George Bush has done a pretty good job of making enough costly blunders giving the world that impression. Oliver Stone is a superb film maker and it will be interesting to see his perspective on how George W. Bush went from party boy to President. I am also interesting in seeing America’s response to the movie and if it will affect our voting to come within the following week. I have included a clip from the Trailer “W” so you can see for yourself.

Senator Obama: Too Skinny to be President?

Exercise not helping Obama's image says WSJ

The Wall Street Journal’s Amy Chozick warns Barack Obama shows us another elitist trait: being too thin. Apparently since 66% of the voting public is overweight and 32% is obese, the perception is the Senator’s skinniness will be a liability. Have you heard anything so ridiculous? Each day I read bull like this I am insulted. What she is trying to suggest is that the American people will vote for someone who looks like them and she has already been proven wrong in that arena. I reject the notion that somehow Americans will be in the voting both with a calculator trying to figure out Barack Obama’s Body Mass Index(BMI) and comparing it with McCain’s. Is the journalist reaching or what? I mean with our country involved in two wars, unemployment on the rise, people losing their homes, I am sure the voting public’s man concern is Barack Obama’s body fat percentage. I also believe that there would be a no win situation for Barack Obama regarding this issue. If he was overweight he would probably appear to be too lazy. If he was too muscular, he would appear too threatening. Amy Chozick, some people are just naturally skinny and I am sure globetrotting and being away from your family doesn’t help the situation.

Low Road to the White House via the Double Talk Express

Dubya, You Are My Hero

John McCain is desperately seeking ways to beat Obama in the fall. According to the McCain campaign, you can blame Senator Barack Obama for everything from high gas prices to global warming. Once again John McCain is insulting the intelligence of the American people. He has said that he was going to run a respectable campaign. There is nothing respectable about his ads. He is getting lower and lower every day. Will his negativity help him? I trust that the American people realize that Barack Obama has chosen to highlight platform issues and negative McCain ads. I was so optimistic earlier when I heard that both candidates would run their campaign this way. For once we would not have to filter through the bull and get to the issues facing the American people such as our economy.
One could argue (to be fair) that both Obama and McCain half flip flopped. But John McCain has really taken his “flip floppitry”, if you will (smile) to a whole different level. He was against offshore drilling. Now he is for it. He was pro choice. Now he is pro life. Yesterday he was not opposed to payroll tax increase, today he says he can look us in the eye and say he can’t raise taxes. I almost have more respect for (dare I say it) for the Bill O’Reilly’s of the world who stick to their guns (the key word there is almost). So world, buckle your seat belts. We have over 90 days on John McCain’s wild ride on the low road via his double talk express

A Britney Spears Barack Obama Ticket?

Wow. Britney Spears reminds me of Barack Obama

Britney-Obama 2008. The Dreamy ticket

What do Britney Spears and Barack Obama Have in common? Ask the McCain camp. They have recently run an ad comparing Senator Obama’s celebrity to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Really guys? Come on. Surely they are able to do better than that. Frankly, I wouldn’t even compare Britney Spears to Paris Hilton but that’s another story. I sense a bit of haterism here. It seems as if John McCain wants the American public to believe that it is negative for us to actually admire the person whom we may vote into the Presidency. He wants us to believe that anyone who is respected around the world can’t be someone we want to President. So they decide to compare a Harvard educated man to a peculiar pop princess and a dim-witted millionaire heiress

The House of Representatives Can Keep Its Apology for Slavery and Jim Crow

An Apology Would Not Have Healed This Man's Wounds

The House of Representatives passed a resolution apologizing to African Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow. I must say I thought this day would never come. Although no politician in his/her right mind would actually state this, slavery is often looked upon as a necessary evil. Where would the United States be without hundreds of years of free labor?
Truth be told, as an African American woman, I could care less. The House of Representatives needs to put their money where their mouth is. No conservative jerks, I am not talking about reparations. I am talking about equal education. I am talking about little Keisha who lives in the Brooklyn housing projects having the same access to current school books, computers, and credentialed teachers as little Sally in Beverly Hills. Even if a child is at the top of their game in an inner city school, many of them will walk into college with a massive disadvantage. I don’t want the House to create any special resolutions or laws. I would just like for them to ensure that the current ones are enforced. It is the law for all children to get an equal education isn’t it? Barack Obama wrote about a Chicago High School victim to budget cuts in his New York Times best seller, The Audacity of Hope. This school was forced to eliminate all of its elective courses and end the day at 1:30pm. Let’s all go back to our High School years and remember all of the trouble we could’ve gotten into between 1:30pm and the time our parent came home from work. Without our children (our is all inclusive) America has no hope for its future. We are mortgaging our most precious resource
