Jerome Corsi’s picture graces the cover of the Obama campaign memo trashing his new book.
Jerome Corsi’s picture graces the cover of the Obama campaign memo trashing his new book.

(CNN) — One day after reports that a new book slamming presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama would debut in the top spot on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list, his campaign called the author “a discredited, fringe bigot” and sent reporters a 41-page memo laying out alleged inaccuracies in his latest release, “Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.”

"Jerome Corsi is a discredited liar who is peddling another piece of garbage in order to continue the Bush-Cheney politics he helped perpetuate four years ago," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor.

"His is one of what will likely be many lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle that are cobbled together from debunked internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda. We will forcefully respond to these smears with all means at our disposal."

Corsi co-wrote a 2004 work attacking then-nominee John Kerry’s military record titled “Unfit for Command”; the Obama team called its response “Unfit for Publication.” It plans to post the contents of the document in full on its “Fight the Smears” Web site.

Since CNN is covering the lies in this book I would like to see CNN go into the truth about Obama.

Then again I would like to see McShame talk about his own issues, but that will never happen.

The Great American Democracy
How sad that a racist, hate filled bigot can manipulate the mind's of voters into holding the view that a genuine American hero is actually a war Criminal thereby being the only voice that picks the next president.
That's how the Great American Democracy is undermine,.

Even worse is that there those who are already anti-obama or just against Obama's policies who would go out of thier way to purchase and read the book blindly and intentionally agreeing with the lies as a reason to continue supporting a candidate other than obama.

I went to McCain's blog and some of his supporters who have come across this book thankfully understand his disgusting character and rightfully reject his brand of politics for which im grateful.

In the End it is such divisive political stunt's that lead voters to vote not for a candidate but against another. In the midst of this the real issues that actually affect people's lives are ignored and go out of sight because a lie such as Obama not dedicating his book to his family is more an important reason not to vote for him, a lie claiming Obama is a muslim is an important reason not to vote for him.

These are the same political tactics that where enacted by the bush administration to manipulate the population into supporting an unjust war. It was used to turn a war hero into a war criminal in order for a real war criminal to continue holding the seat of power. Today it is being used to uphold the failed political structure of the status quo.

And the democrats are always the victims. I hope voters are smarter than this but ofcourse we all know there exists like minded people out there as jerome corsi.
I applaud those who vote for McCain yet Reject Jerome Corsi's politics.

Court   August 14th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

why is it that if someone is against Obama they are labeled racist bigots. The only people playing the race card anymore these days are liberals. If it weren't for Him calling himself 1/8 black, no one would ever mention it. When will y'all look past race and see people for who they are not what they look like. He is so bad for this country, socialism has never worked and never will work. All I can say to the Obama supporters is get a JOB, life aint free or easy.

May GOD have mercy on this nation.

David in San Diego   August 14th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

Don't buy this piece of crap, but look at his "footnotes" in a book store.

He cites to himself for most of his documented sources of his own factless propaganda. Thats a fine trick. Not a piece of scholarship.

What a sham work by a total fraud with no sense of ethics or right and wrong.

ObamaLied.com   August 14th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Funny how the Dems on here haven't even read the book yet are trashing Corsi. I trash Obama because he said "I can no more disown reverend Wright than I can the black community." Two weeks later after the polls said he was slipping, he threw Wright under the bus soooooo fast. Guess Rev. Jackson was right that he is dissing the black community as well. Glad you Dems like Obama…he is a two faced liar.

Andrew   August 14th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

As the article states, there's a 41 page memo available that gives written evidence debunking the lies in the book. Instead of stating that it's "true" like a couple of you have, maybe instead of posting comments here you should go read that and realize that you're being had.

James from bk/LI   August 14th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

i didn't think that the american public were so stupid. you guys let this guy reach best sellers status……. this is crazy. Kerry would have been a way better candidate than bush, anyone can be better than bush and that guy is trying to force you guys to believe that Obama is not good enough………i never thought the great american ppl can be fool so easily. it's your choice america, while some of the bush administration collect huge paycheck from big oil company, you, the american ppl are paying close to 5 dollars a gallon for gas. you think bush was bad wait till you see mccain.

Well jowled Republicans using fabricated sensationalism to influence elections and make some greenbacks for themselves?

YOU DON'T SAY?!?

IT CAN'T BE TRUE!!! REPUBLICANS DON'T DO THAT.

Another fine example of the near stone cold fact that there are only three kinds of Republicans-Stupid (the one's that buy this crap), Evil (the ones that perpetuate this crap), and recovering (the one's that are tired of the crap). If you locate yourself a Republican that is decent, honest, and stands behind America's citizens then you're looking at a future Independent, Libertarian, or a Democrat.

Republicans are like a money hungry and power addicted version of the Taliban. They'd crack down on more but it would hurt the revenue.

pjizzle   August 14th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

is this the august suprise clinton was talking about? with bill making that statement 2 weeks ago(out of nowhere) i am not a racist. and know hiliary wants her name added to the nomination. this is what is called a coup if obama was weak they would have ran him over. because that is what they are trying to do. if we can not notice the brilliance of this man because of his skin we will never prosper to our once great country. Because if that is the only caucasin candidate left i am sure their are several more minority candidares better than mccain. i believe hiliary would have been a great president i think she is smart and a hard worker but her tempermant is not presidential. how can anyone call a harvard law school grad who graduated magna cum laude a empty suit. the president of harvard law review a feat that has not been accomplished by any president. judgement is the most important factor that faces the president. i want a president who is going to analyze it from all angles and come up with the best decision. just because you are a great worker does not mean youn will be a great manager. presidents should take some kind of aptitude test to ascertain their analytical skills.

Oh, and Waldman took Corsi apart on Larry King Live last night. Corsi was a sack of collapsed chin, bug eyed, quavering gelatinise, clown remains, after Waldman was through dismembering him.
Go Waldman! I hope CNN gives you your own show. You would bring in the ratings.

Wow, people who post these comments sound as though they are in the 9th grade. I've never read so many hate-filled, age discriminating, prejudice comments. All of you people need to get off your computer and go outside.

As far as the book goes…why don't you read it, check the sources, and determine for yourself if it is legitimate or not? Many of you will not do that.

Very solid debunking on facts so easily checked it's not even funny how Corsi thought he could get away with it… stuff like "he doesn't dedicate his book to his grandma!" Debunked by: Obama quote dedicating book to grandma. Etc.

Well Obama is an Outright Bigot (remember Obama's racist comment: "just a typical white person"– Obama's context: that whites are all racist at the core.
and we don't need to go into entitled lazy white women comments, or Rev. I-Hate_Whitey's nasties.

why is it anytime anyone says anything bad about Obama he ( and the press) see it as racist?

Corsi is a homosexual child molester, who reminds me of John Gacy, the homosexual killer clown. I challenge any and all to prove Corsi is not a homosexual child molester. You can't. And by Corsi's own logic that proves it is true.

Not a ridiculous bitter PUMA person   August 14th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

I've read all the sewage that has been written about Obama and all it does is make me go out and donate more to his campaign. Folks, this isn't about Obama's church, Obama's wife, Obama's family, Obama's candidacy. It's all about the Republicans painting any Dem who dares run for President, a far left liberal whacko or communist or any other ugly name they can try and pin on any Democrat. They have been doing this for years. Had Hillary been the nominee, don't think they wouldn't have put out such a book about her and Bill, because they would have. It's all about the haves and the have nots. The 1% who have benefited from W's 2 terms in office are the ones who want to continue to benefit. Those who buy this book as some means to justify their not voting for Obama, then don't vote for Obama and waste your money buying garbage that is not going to benefit you in any way. Will buying this book put more gasoline in your tank? Will buying this book make healthcare more affordable? Will buying this book create millions of jobs? Did the book he wrote about Sen John Kerry produce any benefits for this country? If you like war, unemployment, highest foreclosures, highest food and fuel prices, then by all means buy the book and vote for the other guy who wants to continue the same policies.

Wow, the left are fuming, spitting mad over this. You Lefties really can't take it, can you? You can sure dish it out. I find it quite amusing. I find it more amusing that some people actually believe in their hearts that John…uh…"Curry"…served the United States honorably in the military, and that Corsi and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are liars. It is amazing what a mental block liberalism is.

B. Hussein is a Muslim with Marxist beliefs. It's as plain as the nose on your face. Just because Jerome Corsi publishes these already-known facts doesn't suddenly make them "lies". Anyone with half a brain already understands Hussein for what he isn't.

Get a grip on yourselves. It's embarrasing to see you libs spitting all over everything as your mouths work overtime denying truths.

Your convulsive reaction to the truth won't change what normal people already know.

And, since you whack jobs are so quick to place labels on everyone, perhaps I'll make your job a little tougher by letting you know that even though I hate Democrats, Leftist and all other types of Communists, I'm no Republican fan, either. In my opinion, George Bush is guilty of Treason for allowing our country to be overrun by third-world trash from our South.

You are the most ignorant person on this blog and all the other blogs you post on. You have won the award. I just wish for once, just ONCE you would have something constructive to come out of your mouth, to maybe change my opinion of you, but I doubt that will ever happen. So wear your crown well.

If you did your research on the man then you would know why he was called the "fringe bigot". Oh yes, you probably already know about his background, but you felt compelled to take a swipe at Obama anyway. I guess that would be out of character if you did not. Oh by the way did you know he called Hillary a "fat lesbo". Also, you must think like him if you failed to see what's wrong with this man.

Anyway, I wonder how many points you have accrued for posting for John McCain, you must have thousands. You probably cashed your points in for a McCain T-shirt or mug just for being hateful. I have now labled you the Queen of Ignorance.

Erika, KS if you read the footnotes and sources quoted by Corsi you will find he is referencing himself. He makes up lies, stretches the truth and then cites those lies and untruths in his books.

Try a little critical thinking instead of swallowing every bite set in front of you.

Indiana Bob   August 14th, 2008 10:54 pm ET

So now everyone that opposes The Obama is a bigot instead of a racist. Looks like Obama's high road is pretty deep in slimey mud that The Great One is more than happy to sling. So The Obama is just another debunked slimeball.

Corsi also said President Bush was going to annex the country of Mexico to the United States AND Corsi says oil is not a finite–he has the knowledge to make oil.

Obviously, you must have read the book to know that it contains "lies and distortions".

Please pick a couple of them (any two will do) and provide any counter-evidence you have which shows Corsi's claims to be lies. Doing that should be very easy to do (if what you claim is true).

Can't do it? Gee, why am I not surprised?

For all of Obama's lofty claims of "fighting smears", his people certainly appear to be much more interested in fighting the author rather than in disproving anything that he wrote.

Obama is the bigot. Talks about being religious but stayed in a hate filled church for 20 years. Stayed friends with people who bombed the world trade center, innocent lives were in dismay. Maybe being a bigot himself can identify another one.

Tejano   August 14th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

The first line of defense for Marxist and Communists is to ban or discredit books that speak the truth about their system. Mind control is at the helm of thier agenda. The next is to accuse the challengers of being Racists and Bigots. Do you see a pattern here.,

Reality check #1   August 14th, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Most of the facts in this book are published in other places, alot of it straight out of Obama's own book. The book is very factual and people should research a candidate before so blindly voting. If you like higher taxes, gun control, bills like Fisa that invade your privacy, etc, Obama is your man. Search the bills he has sponsered and voted for. This book is only repeating for the most part what people who have done their homework on Obama already know.

jake   August 14th, 2008 10:41 pm ET

I've listened to Corsi numerous times and he is NO Bush/Cheney supporter nor is he a McCain supporter. His other books like The Late Great USA should be read too. This is a critique of "who" Obama is and where he came from. He is no bigot either. He is an intelligent, articulate researched author. Read his book and THEN decide I guess, rather than make vicious comments because you don't like the message.

Josh   August 14th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

As someone who knows Corsi, he definitely has an agenda that he has stated for a long time. On the other hand, as one who had read the manuscript, there are some items that are true. In the 41 page memo, there are some facts that are skewed a tad. It's tough to admit some items in his past that may have a negative effect on his campaign, but it must be done. We all know that McCain is the farthest thing from clean. Obama did go to that church for over 20 years, he did grow up in a different society and for what its worth, he is black. BUT…

by no means does that determine whether or not he can be POTUS. So, I'm not a McCain or Obama supporter, but in this country of free speech, this book must get its time like the neo-nazis get when they want to march. Sad reality at times, but this is what we vote for and fight for.

Al   August 14th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

I haven't read anything from this Corsi book, but I'm just curious - is there actual "bigotry" in it, or is that just a popular buzz word now?

His Swift Boat stuff was B.S. though. Kerry twice submitted challenges to Pickens due to that $1 million bet, but Pickens said they were not substantial enough.

How does something "debut" at the top of the NYT best seller list? Is that list like the Billboard top 40–a contrived list that has nothing to do with actual sales results? Is it just based on pre-orders from such liberal outlets like Wal-Mart?

Boy, if it has nothing to do with actual retail sales and/or is a matter of conjecture, that sure takes the wind out of the argument that the NYT is biased in Obama's favor…. no?

Jim colorado   August 14th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

Terry do puma plus +40
MSNBC had your puma leader on tonight. Verified you peole have only 50,000.00 in donations so far . You guys have as much credibility as Corsi. Sore loosers. Try to get a life.

Mk   August 14th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

This guy has a very specific group of people that he writes to. They are the ones responsible for electing GW BUSH TWICE!!!!
What is appalling is that CNN and every other MSM is buying into this by giving this morally challenged, bigoted idiot one ounce of air time, news time or any other "time of day".
CNN is really slumming now

suzyku   August 14th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

Obama is not allowing these freaks to do to him what they managed to do to Senator Kerry, thank goodness! Unfortunately the American people were not smart enough to see past the lies and distortions that these nasty swiftboat people spewed at Senator Kerry, let's hope this country has gotten wiser this time around and won't fall for this trash again!

What a scum. He should change his ways or he is going down with Mcbush and RNC. TYPICAL

Keith Reyes, PhD   August 14th, 2008 10:13 pm ET

Hi!
No one should wonder how Jerome Corsi’s smear book on Obama got on the New York Times best seller’s list. Two reasons: One, McCain’s campaign spent over a million sponsoring and buying up this book of bigotry; two, the New York Times must be really desperate to squander their credibility in this way on the discredited Corsi and his book of lies. Corsi is a disgrace to the academic community; he is proof that degrees can be bought. Anyway he must be laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of his naive and sinister sponsors. What a low life activity!
Keith Reyes, PhD.

Enough!!!   August 14th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

These people will do and say anything to try and keep Obama from the White House. They are the unpatriotic and unAmerican ones. There are those people who would rather believe a lie than the truth. They will win some w/this book, but it will not have the desired affect. The Obama's are the image of African American families that they don't want people to see in the media. Trying to tarnish the image of highly successful people to gratify systemic racism. This is just another failed attempt. They are only strengthening Senator Obama w/each blow. Keep up the good work Corsi, you are more of a help than a hinder, and the best part is that you yourself don't realize it. I speak it into existence that this book will propel Senator Obama to the position of the presidency.

Orlando   August 14th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

Obama supporters, do I see the truth coming out and we finally get some serious journalism.

Will Johnston   August 14th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

If only democrats are as organized as Repuglicans are. The moneyed corporates and rich sponsor the lies from all quarters while democrats do not have unity just within the party.

When will this end? when America is down in the dumps, people are homeless and jobless? Well, even then the poor whites will rise and kill everyone else and Dems with their guns? A fired target employee goes off and guns down Arkansas Dem party leader? Is this the face of America to come? People all over the world are now thinking: duh, do these Americans ever learn!

I feel bad that this is the America I have chosen to live in. I worry for my kids.

Dan, TX   August 14th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

The republicans, and to some extent, McCain has to take responsibility for this idiot.

Barack Obama is a true American patriot. I would be a very happy American with Obama at the helm. I would be ashamed of us and this country if we continue to fail with the republicans.

laurence   August 14th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

the people who buy into this kind of trash are same kind who fought to keep slavery in this country. i think maybe a little revolution would be healthy for the country. it would help us remember what's really important. and it would give us a chance to call some of the bigoted, racist scum on their mess.

Observer   August 14th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

If this book is anything like the Corsi wrote about Kerry, the New York Times put it on the wrong bestseller list–the Fiction list is where it would need to go.
Also, I don't think the book will change any minds about Obama. Instead, I think it will reinforce the ignorance of non-thinkers, while being ignored as a sham by the thinkers.

Xavier   August 14th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Jrzshor,
When will the Republicans stop running negative campaigns?

Enough!!!   August 14th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

Corsi is from the true church of Satan. He is paddling the same canoe as Bush/Cheney/McCain. This is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. This will not work this time and I speak this into existence, that they will choke on their own vomit this time. It will not work. It will backfire on them. They have an audience of people who do not like change, but that audience is dying off the scene. His desire to peddle trash about Senator Obama is fuled by his own racial hatred and his willingness to deny the well documented facts about McCain's past, now that's a best seller. I say this a thousand times over and over, this book will not serve their desired purpose, but will backfire on them. Corsi has poisoned himself w/his own venom.

Ken   August 14th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Hopefully the book will bring down Obama and then Hillary Clinton will become the nominee and our next President.

You kept Kerry from making it. So now I hope that you can do them say with Obama.

AMERICA NEEDS HILLARY CLINTON AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

Billiam   August 14th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

Where are those who condemned Rev. Wright for spreading hatred.
SPEAK UP!!
Corsi help put George Bush in office. George brought this country to its knees. It shows Corsi has a poor sense of judgement. He should be writing his next edition of swift-smut about "George Bush, country killer."

prosanto   August 14th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

With book 'Obamanation published, it appears that republicans talk of moral and Christian value, but act as Political Mafia with Dick, George and Dobson, as political mob bosses. America's best days are behind us. God save our Country from Republicans

Ron Democrat turned independent   August 14th, 2008 10:03 pm ET

obam's past is not fit for a president. how can the news media ignore all that went on in his past, this man wants to be president, it's comes off almost like the enemy within. I'd still like him to explain why he won't buy his kids Christmas and birthday presents. to show them limits, don't wash when he turns around and rents a super jet and an NFL stadium just to promote himself. but the fact that Muslims have the same belief bothers me no end. he scare the hell out of me

Nija   August 14th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

I walked through one of the big book stores in Houston and I asked them how the book is selling and they said NO ONE IS BUYING. This will tell you that poeple are tired about smears.

Work of Advise for GOP….. Just look behind McCain when he is giving a speech or pause moment…..no much mix and match hmmmmm. Says alot about the GOP's party affiliations and agendas.

They just don't represent the rest of America!!

Donkey Party   August 14th, 2008 10:00 pm ET

Only the scared sheep Republicons and PUMA sissy club members eat this garbage up. The same fools that voted for Bush not just once, but twice, and chomping at the bit to keep the Bush dream alive with McBush.

I seen him on CNN last night he seems to be a pretty forthright guy to me, it was the crazed Obama supporter who came unglued and made himself and Obama look like an Idiot. I purchased this book, and most of the details I have already heard about and based on many of these facts I knew I have decided that I cannot in good faith cast a vote for Obama. Primarily his hate filled church membership of twenty years, that was enough for me….

Dem Not for Obama

RB Texas August 14th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Everything in this book is true. Obama supporters should actually READ the book before they start criticizing it.

The truth hurts, but its reality.

Go McCain- A real man, a real American hero.

You two are the kind of retards that this racist idiot depends on to buy his book of lies and feed right into it. Stupid is as stupid does apparently. I have read the book and I don't let my mind twist obvious lies into a convenient truth just to spew hate but when you're schizoprenic, I guess you can't help your loss of intelligence and reality.

When ignorant racists like the idiot writing this book of lies stop doing so, we will stop calling him a fringe bigot. Corsi writing a negative book about our candidate is not a positive so shut it.

Not fooled by lies and smears   August 14th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

Obama knew this was coming - hence the wisdom of using the "they're going to try to scare you" stump speech. Pretty smart. It difuses it somewhat. The media has done a fair job of debunking his hooey, but there are still the gullibles and, quite frankly, the angry that will lap it up. They're the perfect bush era bitter republicans - and how many of them can there possibly be left?

linda   August 14th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

Why did CNN photoshopped the cover tho?

On the originial, it says, "Brought to you by Bush/Cheny Attack machine"

why CNN? Why?

smells fishy.

Ron Nebraska   August 14th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

Of course, if you're part of the lunatic fringe and write a book, it's just delivering facts. If you're a Bush administration critic and you write a book you're just out to make money. The stupidity in this country is reaching epidemic and extremely dangerous proportions!!!!

JDB   August 14th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

You don't even have to read the book to discredit it - just check out the footnotes. As mentioned on another network, 9 of the first 11 references are made to previous writings by Corsi himself. Oh yeah, it's a real piece of "scholarship" alright.

Bob Smithers   August 14th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

I was swayed by the book and i was for obama, until i read it.

Really the only weapon this media created fraud has left…..and America is wise to it.

Vote McCain or join the insane

Mike   August 14th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Liberals hate the truth and always attack the messenger. John Kerry was revealed as a self-serving fraud. Obama is a radical, left-wing, anti-American who is not qualified to be president. The only reason he is where is is because of his race. He and his supporters will stop at nothing to use race it to smear their opponents as racists. Obama and all who support him are the very definition of racist. Obama raised the issue of race first and now I hope McCain beats him down with it.

No Kool Aid Please   August 14th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Of course he MUST be a racist bigot. He has the "audacity" to question The One????

Obamaniac   August 14th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

Same old, same old from the Obama camp:

If you criticize or question Barack Obama, you are a RACIST!

All you folks on the fence ready to deal with four years of the President being off-limits to all criticism, lest you be forever branded a bigot?

Don't let the Obama thugs bully and threaten you into silence. They're always, ALWAYS going to cry "racist" when you dare challenge his holiness. Don't back down, and don't be shouted down.

Remember what pointing out simple lies like a self-inflicted wound for a Purple Heart and a fictional trip to Cambodia got you? They turned "Swift-boating" into a bad word. This is what the Liberals do - they call you names. The Obama camp just keeps using the same names: bigot and racist.

Timber (ex dem)   August 14th, 2008 9:29 pm ET

There we go with the race card again!! Anyone who dares disagree with Obama is called a racist and a bigot!! This is why I will NEVER vote for Obama. He is being a facist by crushing any dissent with hysterical accusations of racism. He has BIG plans for this country should he become president and they are not pretty.

Because thats how I take his statement. Typical scum but he has the freedom of SLANDEROUS speech..

michael minorgan   August 14th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

this guy is nothing but SCUM to the lowest degree if the American people fall for this crap they deserve the outcome,..McCain should denounce him in the strongest of terms he is complete GARBAGE. How his trash made it to the best seller list is totally beyond me. There is so much good in this world and we have to support garbage like this…God forgive us!!!! lets get real America lets put this guy in the trash dump where he belongs..why are you buying his book and making him rich??????????????????/

Vigla   August 14th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

I see a lot of fools posting on this ticker. Republicans are just proving to me that they have become the party of IGNORANCE. The Reagan revolution is dead, it has been co-opted by the religious right and low IQ Bush supporters.

The book is a joke. Even one lie in a book claiming to be non-fiction is enough to discredit the whole thing. Corsi's "sources" are conservative bloggers. 'Nuff said…

Ron Nebraska   August 14th, 2008 9:23 pm ET

SUE, Michigan August 14th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

It's sad that a well-researched book like "Prosecution of GWB for Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi does not get any media attention, and this crap does, enabling it to be sold to millions. This country really is full of racists, bigots, and just plain dumb people who still think Bush is doing a good job, and that McCain will be even better. That scares me more than the Taliban does.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST STATEMENT ON HERE! THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHY THE " LEFT LEANING MEDIA " LETS THIS TYPE OF SLANDEROUS BOOK GET PUBLICITY AND THE BOOK BY BUGLIOSI IS TOTALLY OBSCURED AND NOT MENTIONED.

Where is the story about Obama's chartered plane emergency? Pilots called in an emergency call when at 32,000 feet they lost control-ability for the up and down of the plane. The strangest part is that they called it in to the FAA as an emergency and yet it was not reported that it was an emergency by those at the FAA that took the phone call even though they were informed that Obama was on the plane with forty something members from his campaign. They even had an emergency landing. Why is this not on the front page of the any of the news sources? Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? Oh, yeah - I'll get all kinds of comments about this and that conspiracy theory b.s. but this it's things like this that really make you wonder if the conspiracy theory card is simply used to throw curious minds off course. Where's CNN on this story?

Howie   August 14th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

I wonder how many of those who left negative comments have actually read the book before they say it is full of lies. I have not read it so I do not know if it is racist, full of lies etc. We should read it before we condemit

Robert   August 14th, 2008 9:16 pm ET

Erika, KS……..right on! Guess the truth hurts….and I bet Senator Obama is just as taken back about this as he was about the outrage of America when his Reverend was exposed as a GD America white hating individual. This type of recurrent and ongoing 'blindlness to reality' is not what OUR America needs!!!!

Vote for America….Vote McCain!

Dr. Corsi. Thank you very much for telling the truth. Larry King is liberal. He wants to bring all celebrity on CNN and be a mouthpiece of liberals like Barack. Mediamatters is another liberal media. It is a joke. Anyway American people have a chance to judge what is Obama. They will teach him a lesson in November.

Clif, Ga.   August 14th, 2008 9:13 pm ET

Hey! If that trash can go all the way to the top of the best seller list. I need to write one. Let me see. The title would be (Undercover Racist in America) It's a shame that this is the only kind of crap that sells in America.

Tom Meyer East Windsor CT   August 14th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

And still we are inundated with the unAmerican Republic machinery. The Republican party personifies what makes terrorist having free reign in America. This man is a disgrace. Intelligence is not measured by how one person can demonstrate his lack of it. This time around the American public has been so overexposed by the corrupt and lying Bush Presidency-the public will see this as anoher pathetic excuse for a human being. All the more reason to vote Obama to purge the Bush contamination of our precious country.

donna4hillary   August 14th, 2008 9:08 pm ET

i DO believe the parts of the book that are directly taken from obama himself. obama cant argue that. obama wouldnt have to go on the defensive if he had spent the past 18 months or so DEFINING himself to the american people. this is what happens when he doesnt tell america who he is, what he belives in and what his SPECIFIC plans are to fix our problems. if he doesnt like what people are saying about him then he needs to come out and tell us who he is. whats he so afraid of? that we wont like him? too late, most dont.

This is an insult to educated people.
This book basically puts down American intelligence.

CNN this guy doesn't deserve the toilet paper in your men's washroom let alone an interview…and for those of you who bought the book - toilet paper is much cheaper and softer…

SameoldLies   August 14th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

When this book is sold in bulk to reach a best seller for 1 or 2 weeks is quite funny, even the list of Best Seller Books are marked with a questionable notation. We are smarter to believe the trash of today and recognize the dog's old tricks!!!!

Unfortunately, Mr. Corsi's audience are those unlearned, bigoted Anti-Americans who will suck down anything as long it feed their existing hate. It's evedent on these comment sites. The vile rumor-mongering that's the basis of the Republican campaign - the founding fathers are turning over in their graves at what we have reduced this country to. Just because someone writes it in a book doesn't make it true. No wonder China is lapping us in education - we are a country of idiots!!

Everything you will read in this book has already been printed somewhere else. A lot of it is based on the poor decisions Obama has made in his life. This is a clear illustration of how inept Obama is. How inexperienced he is. It's not racist. It's the truth.

Now we see who the "real" person "Unfit to Lead" really was in 2004. .. George Bush. Who got us into a war with Iraq, Who lied to everybody about the reasons to go to war with Iraq, Who has done Illigal wiretapping on Innocent U.S. citizens. Who took a surplus of the treasury and truned it into a big deficit, I could go on and on but, I think you get the picture. Mr. Corsi would'nt know a good leader if he saw one.

Anyone can take a sentence from Obama's books, edited, and twisted whatever he/she wants. Does that mean those missintepretation and twisted words true? If you use your head, the answer would be NO.

Here, I challenge you really read Obama's books and then we could have a honest discussion here. Don't pretend you're an "Independent Voter." My parents tought me the most important personal trait is integrity. Have your parent teach you that??

I think it is strange Obama has a fight smear web… wonder why he has so many smears????? This whole Obama thing has been weird fromt he beginning.

@ Independent Voter—Have you never heard of taking things out of context. You can take one sentence from a book and come up with one meaning, but when you have read the entire paragraph, it becomes clear that the meaning was not what you previously thought it to be. Just a thought.

I am personally a Republican, but this man makes me sick.

The fact that the Republican Party even NEEDS this man to write books filled with hateful and spiteful lies in order to strike fear into the hearts of the public is plain embarressing.

The fact of the matter is, he won't succeed with his pathetic scare tactics this time. The prospect of a longer war, and the already present situation of the foreign leaders of this world absolutely hating the ground Americans walk on will push too many voters Blue.

Read the book before you decide its a lie. Stop letting people tell you what to believe. You might be surprised.

If I can't win by real & urgent issues for common, middle, and low income American, I'll lie my butt out to the White House that includes having my henchman doing the dirty job for me. Shame on this guy!!.

By the way, does everyone know his book will be New York Times best seller with an astricks?? Yes, that's true because his book was purchased by right wing nuts organizations in bulk.

I seriously question this person's intelligence & integrity. Ops. He has none of both.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT   August 14th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

ON HOW HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE AND HOW THAT DOES NOT
QUALIFY HIM TO BE PRESIDENT.

Why is it that Obama and his camp always pulls the race card when someone is telling the truth. I believe everyhting in this book is true and I'm sure there is a lot more to come. iF OBAMA BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE
———————————————————————————————–

YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE HE WROTE THE BOOK FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE BOOK ISNT MEANT FOR INDEPENDENT THINKERS, IT WAS MEANT FOR SHEEP. OH, AND THE BOOK MAY BE ON THE BEST SELLER LIST, BUT IT WAS SOLD IN BULK. SO, JUST A FEW PEOPLE BOUGHT IT LARGE BUNDLES. ITS NOT LIKE 2 MILLION PEOPLE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THIS CRAP.

As I've said in the past, some truth in can be found in rumors. ex: John Edwards. Obama will feel the heat as November nears. If it gets to bad he can always take another vacation..

I hate to use a Republicans slogan(cause they usually are just filled with noise.) But Corsi is truly un-American.

when will the obama machine stop being so negative. calling someone “fringe bigot” is not positive.

jo   August 14th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

I think Mccain bought few thousend copy of this book to make it best seller..

What else would the Obama Camp say, they give
“Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.”
Two Thumbs Up!

I say read the book and decide for yourself.
