Jerome Corsi, anti-Obama author, detained in Kenya

A leading American neo-Conservative author has been detained by immigration authorities in Kenya as he tried to launch a book smearing Barack Obama.
Jerome Corsi, of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fame, was this morning being held after failing to reckon with Obamamania.
He had been planning to launch his book, entitled The Obama Nation Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, before travelling to one of Nairobi’s slums to donate money to the Senator’s half-brother George, who was found living in squalid conditions two months ago.
But officers swooped hours after Dr Corsi was described as “author of a smear crusade” by local newspapers.
“He has not been arrested. He is just answering some questions about what he is doing here in Kenya,” said an assistant to Dr Corsi. “We have been given water and are very comfortable.”
Journalists were turned away from the hotel suite where the launch was due to be held. “He shouldn’t have had anything in the paper this morning,” said one. “That was his mistake. He should have kept it secret.”
Dr Corsi said he had a $1,000 cheque for George Obama, seen as part of a stunt to suggest that the Senator was not taking care of his Kenyan-based relative.

Didn’t Obama say something about doing for the least of his brothers, or sumpin?
Why should we subtly "suggest" it when the plain, undeniable, unvarnished truth is there for all to see? -- Obama is NOT taking care of his half-brother in Kenya.
Did Obama lean on his good friend Prime Minister Odinga to “take care” of Jerome Corsi?
Smearing? Please. I keep trying to type things that won’t be deleted, but it’s impossible.
Bump!
ping
That would be my conclusion.
Yeah, but he meant ayers, wright and rezko.
Everyone should see this.....push it around the net!
From the AP Story:
“Corsi’s book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president and includes innuendoes and false rumors — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and is secretly seething with “black rage.”
News flash! These are not innuendoes or false rumors, with possible exception of the last “black rage” comment, for who can truly know what is in this marxist’s heart.
I was surprised this happened in Kenya, and not Missouri.
If "The One" is elected, this could happen here, he is already trying.
Hope he doesn’t end up having an accident while in custody.
Obama isn’t very “brotherly”.
Charity begins at Hut.
Kenya, one of the countries who will be receiving largesse from America courtesy of President Obama.
A look into the future under the dictatorship of The One. Conservatives should be very worried, across the globe.
