Campaign releases 40-page rebuttal, calls writer a ‘discredited liar’
HONOLULU
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama hit back Thursday with a 40-page rebuttal to the best-selling book “The Obama Nation,” arguing the author is a fringe bigot pedaling rehashed lies.
Jerome Corsi’s anti-Obama book, “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,” claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president. The book is a compilation of all the innuendo and false rumors against Obama — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and secretly has a “black rage” hidden beneath the surface.
The Obama campaign picked apart the book’s claims in a rebuttal titled “Unfit For Publication,” to be posted on the Obama campaign’s rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com. The title is a play on the book Corsi co-authored against 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s military service called “Unfit For Command.”
“Jerome Corsi is a discredited liar who is pedaling another piece of garbage to continue the Bush-Cheney politics he helped perpetuate four years ago,” said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor. “His is just one of what will likely be many more lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle, which are cobbled together from debunked Internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda. We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal.”
Corsi’s book is off to a swift start and is No. 1 on The New York Times’ hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, even though Obama’s campaign would argue the book should be listed as fiction.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Corsi has hit a home run two elections in a row!
Truth is a big problem for the radical left.
Obama …waaaa waaaa waaaa stop picking on me, I want to be President.
Why does he keep trying to defend himself? He’s no good at it and it just makes him look like a dictator wannabee. Maybe it’s because it’s true and he can’t handle the truth?
MCCAIN has 26 years in Congress and 22 years in the U.S. military to Obama’s … 3 years in the U.S. Senate? This is why he’s avoiding debating MCCAIN. Obamessiah is running out the clock. I called this weeks ago. The Olympics are still going on, then the DEM and GOP Conventions. What a JOKE and only 2.5 months to go!
OBAMA CANNOT DEBATE MCCAIN- HE WILL FLAT OUT LOOK LIKE THE SCUM BAG HE IS AND HE KNOWS IT!! OBAMA ISS SUCH A FRIGGING JOKE HOW DID THIS BABY TURD GET THIS FAR WITHOUT BEING CHALLENGED MORE- THE DAMN MEDIA KISSING HIS BUTT- !!! WHAT A JOKE!!! OBAMA – HIS LIES HIS BS HIS INEXPERIENCE- HIS LACK OF CREDENTIALS – ALL HE IS IS A HOOD RAT THAT GOT LUCKY- BUT LUCK DOES NOT LAST FOREVER!!! LMAO!!
Never underestimate the enemy, keep the pressure on and Obama’s backside will remain exposed. He can pull this off if we get complacent and lose focus. The NY Times is leading the pack in trying to knock Corsi’s book off that best sellers list. Why? Because the entire nation is awakening to the farce the DNC has perpetrated. They are running in total fear, capitulating to the Clinton’s demands and that of any other halfwit that wants a platform at their convention to espouse their version of Communism. Democracy has often been defined as mob rule, hijacked by the Communists, the Democrats are living down to that description. One man objects to that and having been rejected by the party he decides to become an independent democrat in title but he still feeds at the same trough, the scary thing is he might be a McCain pick for VP.
Looks like Corsi hit a nerve, they (the left) is going ape-sh&t over this. They really go nutz when the truth comes to close, and the ‘little people’ start to think for themselves…Can’t have that.
The truth hurts and thin-skinned B. Hussein Obama’s knee jerk predictable reaction is to play the race card. This time he accused Corsi of being “a fringe bigot”. Just what this country needs, a cry baby racist President and Commander-in-Chief. That will really restore the United States’ image in the world.
Lynn, LOL your right, he can’t stand it. He must be a nervous wreck with his fighting the truth about him, trying to speak without stumbling and stammering and then with all this with Russia changing his stance on it and also changing who is wants for a VP every few minutes. hahaha
Darth, yes your right, Obama is falling apart.
Cheryl, yes he will come off as slow and stupid and clumsy. He has to debate him after the conventions are over but what kind of debates they will be will not be what McCain wanted the townhall kind with open questions.
Jack, I agree so much, keep the pressure on right up to the end. This is even more important now that Obama is getting fed up with the truth begin exposed. He is more apt to mees up even more.
Mark, LMAO yessss isn’t it great. It is all over the news, gosh the left is really upset.
Heh heh
ahhhhh life is good!
Les, yes, can you imagine anyone as thin skinned like Obama is entering politics. I never would…. I would get my feelings hurt, I am better suited to shooting the enemy and then my sleeping at night, then things with words that hurt and then I would cry all night. LOL
” This time he accused Corsi of being “a fringe bigot”.”….oh my gosh I missed that. LOL wow Obama really is ticked. hahahaha
Hood Rat,Hood Rat,Hooochie mama!!!!
