Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Colmes kept saying Jerome Corsi is a "truther" and can't be taken seriously.
I've been scouring the internet looking for evidence Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation, is a 9/11 "Truther." All find is links to left-wing nutjob website where they don't usually use evidence to back up their claims, including DU (which is funny, because a lot of them think Bush had something to do with 9/11).
Does anybody know anything or have quotes from Corsi? Has he addressed this anywhere?
He is difficult to take seriously when he gets into conspiracy theories.
search his posts here, first. jrlc is his handle
I have never seen anything that suggests Corsi is a Truther.
As Corsi himself said on F&F this morning, Obama’s campaign can’t attack the truth of what he says, so they are engaged in ad hominem attacks against him, even though it has been recognized since the time of Aristotle that this is fallacious argument.
Thanks.
He has appeared on the Alex Jones show...however that doesn’t mean he subscribes to those conspiracies.
PING
Jerome,
If you’re still reading FR, give us some ammunition! Thanks.

Unfortunately, Corsi latches on to sensationalism. He is kind of like the National Inquirer. All the junk the National Inquirer prints doesn't mean that the John Edwards story wasn't true.
The good thing is that nothing Corsi is saying in his book is unique to him. He is just repeating known charges. Heck, a bunch of the stuff he is charging is right out of Obama’s own book, the Audacity of Truth.
Read “The Late Great U.S.A.”. He thinks that 9/11 was part of a staged plot to bring about the NAU.
what is a “truther”
He believes in Abiotic Oil which is just as crazy as the “9/11 Truthers” or adults that believe in the Easter Bunny.
I went so several pages...no 9/11 conspiracy stuff. He hasn’t posted since ‘04.
Saw nothing critical of Bush, either.
Precisely.
Nutjobs who believe the U.S. government was responsible for the attacks and/or brought down the World Trade Center.
Usually conspiracy nuts, anarchists or left-winger wackos who want to blame Bush and/or the government for everything. Corsi doesn’t seem to fit the mold.
Charlie Sheen is a “truther.”
I may be wrong, but I don't remember seeing it. I sure as heck don't want to check that book out of the library again.
Full disclosure: I've ripped Corsi up-and-down over the NAU stuff.
I (and the accusers) may be. They may be attributing Corsi quoting Roberts to Corsi himself. Still, anyone who goes on the Alex Jones and Stormfront radio is no friend to us. They are after sensationalism.
If corsi wants to play their game his response should be
“I know you are, but what am I?”
What’s the NAU?
