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.

This seems to be a constant tactic of the left. They “lose” birth certificates. They “lose” records of campaign donations. They “lose” the thesis they wrote in college. They “lose” travel records. They “lose” entry papers.

The left wing cannot survive the truth. They cannot survive any light shining on them or their actions.

We all need to light a candle. Those thousand points of light could come in handy right now. And if anyone has a spotlight....

Hut Sweet Hut Ping.

Corsi tried to give $1,000 to the little o’s half brother, and it’s called a stunt. [If BO wrote the check, the medias’ pants would tingle.] Questioned by the Kenya police. Did Sean Hannity write the check?

“I think the ‘seething black rage’ thing can be pretty fairly inferred from Obama’s book ‘Dreams from my Father’.”

Good God! This is getting insane. I have heard rumors of martial law before the election if economy dumps. At first I thought horrible. But would it be worse than Obama in the white house and the commucrats in charge of the house and Senate? I really do not know.

Odinga will never see the light of day. For some reason, even our bloggers Michelle Malkin, Mark Steyn, Ace of Spades, etc. are cold on the Odinga story. Even though there are PICTURES. Even though he is a democratic socialist and Obama used our tax dollars to go there and campaign for this muslim connected domestic terrorists who supporters burned 50 christians alive in their church.

something is fishy. go to texas darling blog for all the details.

Is that Dick Morris tie in to this whole debacle not the craziest thing. Imagaine Dick Morris giving such a thug campaign advice.

i think we are all doomed in this country. the MSM, the conservative MSM and bloggers won’t touch the Odinga Thing which is so scary. WHY???

THEY WON’T USE OBAMA’S OWN WHITE HATING QUOTES IN HIS OWN WORDS AN VOICE.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE. Maybe we are closer to socialism than we dare believe. the frog getting boiled alive one degree at a time so it doesn’t jump the pot and stop paying taxes and our overlords perks and salaries.

If (for example) Michael Moron were to announce that he had found Joe McCain (Mac’s brother) living in squalid conditions in some shack without a penny to his name, the lamestream media would be all over the story 24/7 with banner headlines “DAY 112 of Brother of Senator & Millionaire John McCain Suffering in Squalor!”

Wow! This is very scarey...if Obama can do this in Kenya, imagine what he can do when he’s in charge of the FBI?
How can the American people be this stupid? Obama is going to be the undoing of this country!

They “lose” the thesis they wrote in college. They “lose” travel records. They “lose” entry papers.

How they do it is a matter of record. Sandy Burglar got caught "losing" some classified Clinton Administration papers, remember?
