A Not So Swift Boat Sinks
A few words about Jerome Corsi, author of “Unfit for Command” and the new “Obama Nation”. The Man is an Idiot. A blithering yammering buffoon. A dolt of the Highest order. I would say something nice about him, but …. wait ….. no i wouldn’t. There are few types of people I have no room for in this world, and conspiracy theorists are near the top of that list. Bullshit artists are not far behind.
Let’s talk about what the man has written before. His most famous work “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry” was an amazingly brazen lie from one cover to the other, Those who served with John Kerry refuted every negative claim made against him in the book, and contains interviews about John Kerry with people who never even served with the man!
His Book “Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians” claims that American Democrats have been bought by the Iranians and that the dems are working with the mullahs to get Iran the Bomb, and that a prominent Iranian American who did fund raising for John Kerry in 2004 was in fact an agent of the Iranian Government. Untrue. Completely Unfounded.
He has also claimed that John McCain has the backing of a group tied to Al-Qaeda , that there is an unlimited supply of oil being constantly created under the earths crust, and that George Bush was trying to turn the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one big nation.
Um…. How high do you have to be to believe this bullshit?
A note. I have NOT read this book. I was not even going to cover this, but I decided to take a look at the rebuttal “Unfit for Publication”, put out in response to this book. I saw that the Junior Senator from Illinois had nailed Mister Corsi for no less then 50 Inaccuracies, then started to read the rebuttal a bit more In depth. I may read Mister Corsi’s book, at some point. But I tell you I have a low tolerance for Bullshit, and I do not want to spend $25 dollars or whatever the price of this book is and give it to this man and encourage useless stupidity. If he had anything credible to say, I would look into it. I haven’t see one credible thing from this man though, anywhere. And I have been looking.
Onto covering Obama’s response to Corsi. Always leading with corsi’s own statements from the book “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality”
Let’s See…In no particular order: Corsi said that Barack Obama’s parents may never have been married, and on the same page said they were.
He says that in Barack Obama’s first book “Dreams of my Father” that he never wrote about his father’s problems with Alchohol, despite the fact that he did.
Corsi says Obama never wrote about taking his wife to be Michelle to Kenya in that same book, but He in fact did.
Corsi claims that the book wasn’t dedicated to his family, when it in fact was.
Corsi claims hasn’t answered questions as to whether he had dealt drugs in college, or continued to do drugs into his law school days, and then seemingly implies that Barack may have in fact kept doing drugs by asking whether he had continued using drugs even after he had become a State and even U.S. Senator.
He stopped when he was 20, and has stated so on numerous occasions.
Corsi claimed that Barack Obama took sides in Kenyan Politics in 2006 by siding with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He did nothing of the sort.
I am hoping you see a pattern here.

I have to say, I am not in the least intrigued by this man or what he has to say. Sounds like a conservative wish list for what they would like to say about Senator Obama, but falls far short of what Mister Obama says is reality. And knowing Mister Corsi’s prior work, I believe Senator Obama here.
Watch a Video about the man, from Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
Am I the only one who loses his mind when he runs into stupidity like this? Do you believe there is a place for clear lies like these? Do you think anyone actually Buys this claptrap? Do you think I am off base with my assertions here? Drop me a Line and Let me Know!
