Jerome Corsi, anti-Obama author, detained in Kenya

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.

I guess our sacrifice is to get used to a lower standard of living. (In the name of fairness of course).
I’m getting a kick out of watching as this troll thinks that he is quietly developing a sleeper account.
zmooc, you aren’t as invisible as you think.
Drudge has it BIG TIME NOW.
SOMEBODY, PLS PING ME TO THE DEBATE THREAD. I can’t watch it in real time although I’m sure “middle class” will be part of drinking game and also “tax and spender”.
No he wasn’t.
wow
Looks like the Obama Truth Squads have taken over Kenya. Didn’t they try to do this in Missouri?
Obama–>Rezko–>Nadhmi Auchi–>Saddam Hussein & Muammar al-Gaddafi–>(Pastor Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and Raila Odinga–>Sheik Abdullahi Abdi)–>Raila Odinga–>Obama–>Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dorhn–>Obama–>Rashid Khalidi–>Obama–>Rezko–>Jabir Herbert Muhammad–>Farrakhan–>Obama–>
It’s an easy path to follow once it’s written down.
Your papers, now Mr Corsi!
Rush allowed this to be brought up in the last segment.
“Actually, Kenya will become our Fifty Eigth state after Snobami becomes el presidente of the world.
Such BS. Work permit? LoL!
No bias in the Times. /sarcasm
This all about Obama Kenya’s buddy Odinga leaning on Corsi.
And Nothing else.
Not to mention the claims by Odinga and his thugs that the election was stolen before the votes were even counted. Odinga lost by 231,728 votes, called on “his supporters” to riot, and more than 1,000 people were killed. The rioting only stopped when KIbaki, the man who won the election, agreed to a unity/power-sharing government.

The best part - Raila Odinga is Barack Obama’s FIRST cousin.
FOX quit BS'ing to be "fair" at the expense of the truth.
We need this added to the video of obama with his cousin Odinga and the riots after the election....
