"Swift boat" author turns to Obama with bestseller
Reuters ^ | 8/15/08 | Michelle Nichols

The author who put Democratic Sen. John Kerry on the defensive over his military record during his 2004 presidential run has turned his attention to 2008 White House hopeful Barack Obama with a new bestseller.

In "The Obama Nation," which Corsi says is a play on the word abomination, the author questions whether Obama could still be using marijuana and cocaine and insinuates Obama is Muslim despite the candidate's insistence he is a Christian....

Corsi told Reuters "The Obama Nation" is his bid to stop the Democratic senator from winning the White House on November 4. But he insists he does not support Republican candidate U.S. Sen. John McCain and instead backs the Constitution Party...

Britain's The Independent newspaper said the book "smells like a Republican hit job," while the Washington Post said it "is rife with inaccuracies and innuendo...."

Brian Darling, director of Senate Relations at Washington conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, said Corsi's book serves an important role in helping educate the American people about Obama. "It will spur debate and I think Sen. Obama should get used to a very critical examination of his history and his tenure in the (U.S.) Senate ...

Media Matters, a nonprofit Web site run by former conservative journalist David Brock, has deemed Corsi's book "unfit for publication."

The New York Times has pointed out on its bestseller list that "The Obama Nation" has been a popular bulk buy. Some Obama defenders have questioned whether conservative groups bought it in bulk to inflate sales -- a claim Corsi denies

It looks like the MSM will finally need to expose Obama’s forged birth certificate. Perhaps this is why Hillary is maneuvering to ensure she’s nominate at the Dim convention.

The more Hussein and his campagn and the MSM talk about it, the more people will read it and discover the truth for themselves. So keep making a big deal out of it you abject marxists.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Surely they realize that by doing this, they basically promote the book?

It’s very good! Definitely worth the $15 bucks I paid for it, and if you don’t think so after buying it, you can always turn around and sell it on half.com for almost as much as you paid for it.

Am also reading the Freddoso book.

They are so full of themselves, they actually think they can win nonetheless. They think they can destroy Corsi. But they can't. The book is too thoughtful, too well documented, and he comes across too reasonable and mild-mannered on the tube.

I have a friend who is a liberal leaning individual and he said that he was surprised at how intellegent and put together Corsi was in interviews, even when they try to tear him apart.

Corsi always gets his facts from accurate sources.

I just ordered my autographed copy from World Net Daily for $24.95.

I encourage others to do the same.

This is the cheapest and the most effective political contribution I have ever made. Unlike political contributions I have made in the past, I will not get junk mail and telemarketing calls from the politicians for the next five years. A true win-win situation.

Here is the WND ordering site:

And he doesn’t seem to get hysterical along with the lefties attacking him.

He’s better than me in that regard.

Corse was on Hannity and Colmes the other night, and they let Colmes do the interview, which was a great idea IMHO.

Colmes, who drinks farleft koolaid, tried his best to shoot down Corsi’s arguments.

Corsi just kept quoting his footnoting. Colmes got more and more frustrated, did the usual thing= everytime Corsi rebuted him, he tried switching to another argument. Unfortunately for him, Corsi had done his homework.

It’s a good book that makes you think. Like how in the world did Obama ever make it this far. I suppose it’s idiots choosing idiots.

Funny how the book wasn’t even mentioned in the MSM until Obama came out with his weak-ass rebuttal. Now they have what they need to try to discredit it, and will give it the same treatment that the FBI agent got who wrote about Clinton. They are trying to get rid of it. I don’t think they’ll succeed.
