With the wreck of John Kerry's "swiftboated" 2004 campaign in his rearview mirror, Barack Obama and his surrogates are wasting no time mounting a counterattack against WND staff writer and columnist Jerome Corsi, the co-author of the Swift Boat Veteran's for Truth's "Unfit for Command" and the author of current No. 1 New York Times best-seller, "The Obama Nation."
Obama advisers have been tracking Corsi's media appearances, quickly telephoning producers to react to the book's charges, and last night, the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign issued a 40-page response to the book.
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor accompanied the release with a shot at Corsi, calling him a "discredited liar who is peddling another piece of garbage to continue the Bush-Cheney politics he helped perpetuate four years ago."
"His is just one of what will likely be many more lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle, which are cobbled together from debunked Internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda," the spokesman said. "We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal."
"The Obama Nation" is ranked No. 1 among all books at Amazon.com and will debut at No. 1 on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list next week. The book already has secured the Times' top spot for the following week, as the Democratic National Convention gets under way.
The Democratic National Committee has its own rapid response team to take aim at Corsi's book, with an e-mail sent out yesterday saying, "One of the most vile smear peddlers of the 2004 election has found a new target. … We cannot afford

He’s going nuclear...rofl
Just recieved my copy, if it’s anything like the Kerry book Obama’s toast.
oh you betcha it is.. lol
So Obama activates a 24/7 War Room in full crisis mode to attack a book. Meanwhile, Russia attacks one country and threatens nuclear war against another and Obama plays on the beach. That tells you all you need to know.
More proof of Obama’s unsuitability as president; he rises to the bait like a hungry bass. He’s defending his personal image while the world deals with Russian aggression that is erupting into a major U.S.-Russian confrontation. Does the man understand anything?
surfer girl can’t take it.
Obama has two big gripes with the Corsi book.
The accuracy of the wedding date of his parents and something else almost as important.
Bwahahahaha!
LOL-—That is priceless.
Your comment——not the book!!!!!!
I read on another thread that this Vietor guy was a former "spokesman" for John Edwards. Gee, ya sure can pick 'em, Tommy-boy. If anyone knows anything about "discredited liars," I guess it might be you, huh?
There must be some really bad stuff in it for them to go to this length........................
If nothing else it has ruined B. Huusein’s taxpayer-funded vacation.
Well done, Mr. Corsi.
keep em on defense...that’s the ticket.
Sorta kinda like the Hollyweird flicks about Bush and Republicans that coincidently seem to debut about 6 weeks before election day?
Mr. Obama, if it is a pack of lies, why do you need to spend so much time rebutting it?
And if it lies, why aren’t you suing him?
Barry has convinced me to buy the book.
The attacks will help make the book even more sucessful.
