"Dr. Corsi" is just as insecure, and possibly as insincere, as Freddoso. Corsi bragged that he had over 700 footnotes in his book. Was he writing a book for ordinary voters to read, or a high school term paper? You don't have to call yourself "Doctor" (PhD.) to know that footnotes are part of scholarly writing or, at their most primitive, high school term papers. You use footnotes to establish trust, because either your high school teacher, or college professor, remains to be convinced of your scholarship.

This is a ridiculous point. When you're writing a book attacking the character of any politician you better have your facts straight and be ready to prove sources. Corsi did this...to his credit. The author of this piece sounds like an insecure amateur, upset that he's being upstaged.

I’m going to be VERY disappointed if his book, Obama, The Man Behind the Mask, arrives and has no back up to where he cited information from.
