New Republic: “Frequently Fictitious” Book From “Propagandist And Renowned Liar.” “From today’s
NYT piece on the vile and frequently fictitious anti-Obama book just released by swift-boat propagandist and
renowned liar Jerome Corsi…” [New Republic, 8/13/08]
Martin: Corsi’s Book “Regardless Of Accuracy, Is What Many On The Right Want To Believe About
Obama.” Jonathan Martin wrote, “But Corsi delved into the drug-and-Muslim fever swamps, which,
regardless of accuracy, is what many on the right want to believe about Obama.” [Politico, 8/13/08]
New York Times: Several Corsi Accusations Are “Unsubstantiated, Misleading Or Inaccurate.” The
New York Times reported, “Several of the book’s accusations, in fact, are unsubstantiated, misleading or
inaccurate.” [New York Times, 8/13/08]
Los Angeles Times: “Being No. 1 Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Being Accurate.” The Los Angeles Times
reported, “The book lashes out at Barack Obama and alleges, among other things, that the politician has a secret
radical Islamic agenda. But being No. 1 doesn’t necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian.” [Los
Angeles Times, 8/12/08]
Politico: “Outrageous Assertions and Fringe Theories…Have Hurt His Credibility on the Right as Well.”
“[H]is outrageous assertions and fringe theories — which include allegations that President Bush worked to
eliminate the borders with Mexico and Canada and the assertion that Kerry is a Communist — have hurt his
credibility on the right, as well. … On the blog FreeRepublic.com, Corsi wrote that pedophilia ‘is OK with the
Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press,’ that ‘RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are
Women-Haters.’” [Politico, 8/13/08]
Washington Post: Book “Lacks Major Revelations… Parts Of The Book Have Also Been Disproved By
The Mainstream Media.” “Corsi’s ‘The Obama Nation’ lacks major revelations and has been dismissed by
Obama’s campaign as a series of lies from a serial liar. Parts of the book have also been disproved by the
mainstream media. In 2004, Corsi co-wrote ‘Unfit for Command,’ in which Swift boat veterans criticized Sen.
John F. Kerry’s Vietnam War record. That book was also widely disproved…Nevertheless, Corsi’s book about
Obama will debut as a No. 1 New York Times bestseller.” [Washington Post, 8/14/08] |
