"DEVELOPING... UPDATE, 12:25 p.m., for those who didn't figure it out yet, and the many on Twitter for whom it took a while: We committed satire this morning"
You sad bunch of suckers...

In a stunning development one day after the release of Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President, by Dr. Jerome Corsi, World Net Daily Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah has announced plans to recall and pulp the entire 200,000 first printing run of the book, as well as announcing an offer to refund the purchase price to anyone who has already bought either a hard copy or electronic download of the book.

I liked it, he footnotes almost everything and that is good for checking facts - lots of images of documents.
There were also (now scrubbed) the numerous African news media articles congratulating Kenyan born Senator Obama, including NPR.
National mag publishes fabricated report attacking Corsi book
The era of out right lies started about WWI.
I’m ordering mine now, just because.
Me to...and a couple of Levin books.
ah
So? Just another inconsistent “fact” as stated by an Obama. Dr. Corsi is correct in writing about ALL the many various and contradictory “facts” of Obama’s birth.
One of these days we will have Congressional Hearings to flesh out the truth. But until then, we need Corsi’s book to keep Certifigate first and foremost in front of Americans at all times.
Seriously? They’re going to pulp 200k books? The day they’re released? Because of a document that came out three weeks ago? “Capricorn One: NASA, JFK, and the Great “Moon Landing” Cover-Up” it’d take, literally three seconds to google that if you didn’t recognize it’s a joke.
I don’t find it terribly funny either, but at least I recognized it wasn’t serious.
Let’s be a little more discriminating around here and not start stomping up and down, pulling our hair out every time someone walks past our cage.
I hope Joe Farah sues the pants off of Esquire

Have you listed to the whole tape?
You do realize that the tape contradicts what you are saying? That the the questions go through two translators, English to Swahili, Swahili to Luo, then back again? If you keep listening beyond where you want to stop, the translator immediately follows with, “No. Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.” McRae keeps questioning, and the translator keeps trying to set him straight.
“Yeh I always go to Esquire to get my information. LOL!!!”
You are correct, Esquire is not a publication most of us even think about. I’ll bet Esquire.com got more traffic today just from FReepers alone than they have in the past year.
Wouldn’t he have to prove malice with the libel thing?
Isn’t truth the defense against slander, and malice against libel?
This is an outstanding case of “I’ll believe what I want despite the facts.” You want to believe one sentence, made through two translators, and immediately contradicted. If you listened to the whole tape, you can hear the translator repeatedly trying to correct the misstatement.
I will add that Bishop McRae is not a skilled interviewer. (No reason he should be, of course, but it shows here.) He sometimes does not specify which Obama he means, Sr. or Jr., and a question like, “Was she present when he was born,” going through two translators has lots of potential for problems. A clearer question would be “Was she in the room with the mother when Obama Jr. was born?”
It’s still on Amazon, and is #17 on the non-fiction best-seller list.
I have a friend who has already gotten the book and read it...I guess those who pre-ordered early enough were sent out before the release date advertized....he got this book on May 10th. There isn’t anything new in it but from what he has told me it is put together so very well.

Joseph Farah says he may sue Esquire for ‘parody’ story on Jerome Corsi book

Capricorn One was a movie about the moon landing being faked. Corsi didn’t write a book with that title, or premise.
Frankly I didn’t know Esquire was still around.
