Book attacking Obama makes the bestseller list
Los Angeles Times ^ | August 12, 2008 | Kate Linthicum

Posted on 08/12/2008 6:50:16 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

Right-wing author Jerome Corsi hit it big in 2004 with a book attacking John F. Kerry.

"Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" soared to No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Now Corsi has done it again -- taking aim at a different Democratic presidential candidate.

Corsi's latest, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," will top the Aug. 17 New York Times hard-cover nonfiction bestseller list.

The book lashes out at Barack Obama and alleges, among other things, that the politician has a secret radical Islamic agenda.

But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian.

“Right-wing author Jerome Corsi...”

I’m sure the LA Times prefaces all author’s names with their political orientation.

“Leftist newsreader Tom Brokaw..”

“Consistently unfunny, angry liberal Al Franken...”

Black Liberation Theology is not Christian.

I assume this is based upon Obama's membership in Rev. Wright's "church?"

Book must be on target because Bob Beckel was on Fox a few days ago asking author if it was on fiction or non-fiction list.

Interesting... Obama's brother says that Obama is a Muslim.

But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian convert to Christianity through a Black liberation radical preacher, after having been enrolled as a muslim studying the Koran by his own admission. There fixed it

Books critical of expected Democratic nominee Barack Obama are topping the best-seller lists, including “The Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi, currently No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list for hardcover nonfiction.

No. 5 on the NYT’s list is “Fleeced” by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann, a book breathlessly subtitled “How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us … and What to Do About It.”

I’ve listened to the CD tapes in the car. I recommend buying those as you can hear the author speaking his words.

Regarding religion, Corsi takes Obama at his word that he is a Christian.

In every other area it’s a well documented, hard hitting account about “what makes this guy tick.”

Unfit for Command was pretty much a one dimensional appraisal of Kerry. This book reveals multi-faceted areas of Obama’s character, and since character is what Axelrod has planned to promote to the American public, NOT ISSUES, the book goes to the heart of Obama’s persona.

There is NOT DOUBT in my mind now. AMERICANS WILL NOT vote for this man once they know about him. And those that do vote for him will do with trepidation.

Obama is a question mark. He is an known quantity. The Georgian conflict gives us our first taste of an Obama presidency. He is clueless on foreign policy and on the Russian Empire.

JFK was clueless also. He conducted the most lame invasion of Cuba that in retrospect shows his lack of command and the breakdown of communication between he and the military and perhaps with Eisenhauer and Truman both men would have done things differently.

but JFK learned quickly.

We do not have the luxury in this day and age of long learning curve for our president. Obama and the people he will employ around him will be a disaster for this country.

The Associated Press reported last week that three anti-Obama books were in the top 20 list on Amazon.com. Currently, Corsi’s book as well as “The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate” by David Freddoso remain on that list.

I can also highly recommend Corsi's "Atomic Iran."
