Corsi Peddling His Book
Jerome Corsi’s book “Obama Nation” will debut at #1 on the New York Times best sellers list. As with his previous book “Unfit to Command” (a swift full of lies), a coordinated effort has been made to make this book look like it is very popular. There are huge bulk sales. I’m not sure if each republican state party or county party are required to buy the book, but one or more groups have bought this book.
In the following clip, Corsi continues to push the notion that Senator Barack Obama’s birth certificate that is on his web site is a fake. He does not present any data except to say that he “knows” it is fake.

And that’s true no matter how many people cling to some hint of doubt and use the Internet to fuel their innate sense of distrust.” (more… )
I feel very confident that the right-wing will find something else wrong with Obama’s birth certificate.

[...] A small faction of right wing knuckleheads have been doggedly investigating Barack Obama’s birth. Investigating maybe a strong word. Generating rumors and lies may be a better characterization. One of my readers even was sucked into this trap. Barack Obama was born not in Hawaii but else where. They have no proof but they look at the 1961 Birth Certificate and say that it is a fake. Their champion is Jerome Corsi who has been touting this on national TV. [...]
