Jerome Corsi, anti-Obama author, detained in Kenya

(Brendan McDermid/Reuters)

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.

Subversive activity... If those stupid Obama voters don't like The Patriot Act, wait until God forbid, they lose their freedom of speech and confiscation of their pc's (like McCain's was stolen).

Prayers up for Corsi. Seriesly. This is hugh subversive activity with Obama's operative's fingerprints all over it. Sure, Obama knows foreign leaders - dictators whom he no doubt greatly admires and supports.

Not in 150 years. But I have not seen a divide this big in my lifetime. Taxpayers vs taxtakers. We are over the edge of taker to payer ratio. more than 50% of voters are takers.

Rush got the ball rolling on some of this by also donating a $1,000. check to bamby’s brother mentioning “home sweet hut” suggesting soetoro’s brother lives in a hut,another priceless Rushism.

Problem. If they get power they use it against us. “It is patriotic to pay taxes”?

Good and not AP (associated propaganda)

[floriduh voter]

The militant kids video has them chanting “alpha, omega.” If Obama believes he is the beginning and the end, God help us all, especially typical Americans.

[rodguy911]

A good polished journalist would have presented both positions,points of view, and then let the reader decide for himself. But that takes training and experience.(and a lack of bias)

Well, that could have been worse.

Armed escort. That’s just our future if the madrassa transplant wins the election.

I don’t know if was bias as much as ignorance. I got the impression she doesn’t know beans about what’s been going on in Kenya.

[floriduh voter]

If they keep Corsi until the election is over, how can Obama possibly win???? This is going to get ugly. Maybe Condi will have to go rescue Corsi diplomatically.

[floriduh voter]

What a coincidence that this occurs w/Corsi shortly after Obama says at rallys that McCain is trying to swiftboat him. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Maybe that was a signal to Kenya to nab Corsi???

[manc]

very true She just went on the air quoting an AP article and then when she was corrected by someone in the know she stands by her AP story citing that they have good sources One of the worst interviews I have seen on FOX and she should be back on the air actually correcting herself if she had any decency here. Even a blind journo could see that obama and odinga have a nice connection Corsi writes a book putting obama in a bad light due to facts odinga's country now hold corsi if a journo does not pick up on this then journalism is really become worse than I had previously thought And why did she kept saying he is not Muslim, He clearly was raised a muslim and didn;t want to talk about that

[webschooner]

oh brother ... will Corsi get out alive or will there be some unfortunate “accident”, like maybe he’ll have a “heart attack” from the stress of it all.

Prayers for Mr. Corsi ...
