Unfit for Publication

On the heals of Jerome Corsi’s latest book, which has already been called nothing more than a “Trail of Wild Theories, Vitriol, Dogma” and “Poisonous Crap,” the Obama for America campaign has released their 41 page rebuttal.

Unfit for Publication

Corsi’s book is rife with inaccuracies. He claims to have 700 footnotes and yet he gets some of the most basic facts about Barack Obama wrong-like the year the Obamas were married. Corsi writes throughout his book that Obama has refused to acknowledge details about his life, but a quick search through Obama’s two thorough books shows that, despite Corsi’s claims, Obama does in fact talk about his sister’s birth and did dedicate “Dreams from My Father” to his family, for example. But Corsi makes more troubling inaccurate claims as well, such as saying that Obama gave a million dollars to a Kenyan politician, when numerous outlets have shown that to be a lie. And Corsi’s claims that Obama would leave the country unsafe by destroying the military are spurious and untrue. While these are certainly not all the inaccuracies in the book, they include some important points we thought should be pointed out.

This is the same Jerome Corsi who claims Hillary Clinton is a lesbian, that John Kerry is a Communist Jew, Muslims are rag-heads who worship Satan, and that George Bush had a secret plan to merge the United States with Mexico. Sounds reliable, right?

While the Obama for America campaign already launched Fight the Smears, Senator John Kerry has launched a new website Truth Fights Back to help counter the mud being thrown by right-wing hit man Jerome Corsi. Obama and Kerry are not going to sit back and let Barack Obama’s campaign be swift-boated.
