Unfit For Publication: Obama Response To Conservative Smear Artist Jerome Corsi

1:22 am EST August 15th, 2008 | News | 10 Comments

Forty one pages of fact by fact refutation of a conservative smear job from the Swift Boat author Jerome Corsi himself. It’s funny how some conservatives are upset that Sen. Obama isn’t just lying down and taking it from the conservative noise machine. But the rest of us are happy for the change. (pdf here)

    I like the part on the link where the guy seems to think that if Obama didn’t respond to this #1 New York Times bestseller that the press is all over, nobody would hear about it.

    And the book’s defenders continue to tout its popularity as evidence of its authenticity. Many of the same people who claim that Sen. Obama is all popularity and no substance, I might add.

    Ironic that Corsi uses one of the better photos of Barack on the cover. TIME and Rolling Stone, etc. have succeeded almost methodically in finding unflattering pics of the most photogenic and handsome candidates in decades.

    I know it’s supposed to make Obama look sly, scheming, etc. by focusing on the eyes, but instead it makes him look just thoughtful.

    It’s still depressing how Corsi still gets so much attention (the real goal) by working the media and so forth. Kind of like how the Right Wing Team drops the “elitist” and “presumptuous” talking points and they’re eagerly gobbled up by the media. We’re so doomed.

    The commenter you linked from The Corner gets one thing exactly right–in the 2004 campaign, it wasn’t so much Corsi’s “Unfit for Command” that did Kerry in. It was the men who claimed to have served with Kerry appearing on TV every other night. Unless there’s a bunch of Harvard Law types ready to jump up and tell us Obama was trying to rejuvenate the SDS or something, this book is not going to have the same punch.

    But that’s the only thing the commenter got right. Obama is certainly correct to go after Corsi and his phony book.

    Cori’s face looks like the self-satisfied look of someone with a nekkid 12-year-old boy bent over in front of him.

    And, yes, Presidential.

    You didn’t like the Rolling Stone cover? I thought it was the best I’d seen (though I buy about one RS a year).

    Corsi’s sources are primarily from websites and he quotes bloggers like you and me continuesly which begs the credibility question. The book does shine light on some important issues. the readers can decide for themselves what they believe

    “The book does shine light on some important issues.”

    Yes, its author’s insatiable appetite for character assassination at least.
