Jerome Corsi, anti-Obama author, detained in Kenya [a $1,000 cheque for George Obama....]

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.

...go to texas darling blog for all the details.

Read Corsi's book. He has all the details and pulls no punches. It's no surprise he is an enemy of Kenya. It's entirely possible they acted on their own without guidance from The One.

“Corsi had promised a news conference today that would “expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency.”

Who is/was to be ‘executed’? Not sure I follow...do you?

Very disturbing that these third world thugs now have Corsi. Prayers up!!

First, the media doesn’t have any investigators any longer. They don’t have branch offices. All they have are the spokesmodels.

Second, they are totally biased.

Third, after Swift Boats they hate and fear Corsi.

I just heard on the radio news that he has now been deported.

“A Press invite to Tuesday’s launch read in part: Dr Corsi will also expose details of deep secret ties between US Democratic presidential candidate Barrack Obama and a section of Kenya Government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency.”

Good.

Corsi is an anti-Catholic bigot. I hope they keep him there, locked up for a long time.

Corsi got lucky as this is How Odinga normally treats his guests......


Angry Odinga supporters went on the rampage in Nairobi and across the country, looting and burning.

Does anyone out there even know what a neo-conservative is anymore? I have plenty of differences with Corsi, but it's safe to say he's no neo-con. Paleo-con is more like it.
