Just like I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have Ann Coulter as a member, I wouldn’t want to belong to any that would have Jerome Corsi as a member either.
Corsi is engaging in the same strategy against Barack Obama he used so successfully against John Kerry. Sling a bunch of unsubstantiated mud against the candidate knowing that some of the mud will stick because by the time everyone finds out it is unmitigated nonsense it will be too late.
Even today people quote the discredited garbage claimed in “Unfit to Command” as reasons why they didn’t vote for John Kerry. Freedom of Speech allows you to express your own opinion, it does not allow you to make up your own facts and that, in my humble opinion, is precisely what Corsi is doing.
At least this time around folks are jumping to criticize the book immediately any saying that the drivel in the book is obviously racially based nonsense. From the excerpts I’ve read, it’s a blatant attempt to scare white Middle America. I mean hell, what’s next, a resurrection of the movie Putney Swope claiming what Swope did to the business he became head of Obama would do to the country?
I’m waiting to hear a repudiation of the book from the Republicans and in particular from John McCain. So far the silence has been deafening. If no repudiation ever comes, you’ll understand why I don’t ever vote Republican.
By the by, Simon and Schuster should be ashamed of themselves for publishing the filthy thing.
