Jerome Corsi Attacked by the Thin Skinned Obama

Jerome Corsi Attacked by the Thin Skinned Obamajbranstetter047 min - Aug 21, 2008The truth hurts, doesnt it Obama. The Comrades are getting upset! It seems they are not able to set the agenda. If they are not able to set the agenda, then there is no doubt that Obamas prospect of getting elected will diminish day by day, because he will only be left with his worn out record of, hope and change. Truth hurts Obama Posted: August 18, 2008 1:00 am Eastern By: Roger Hedgecock The vigorous assault by the Obama campaign and its surrogates in the media on Dr, Jerome Corsi over his New York Times bestseller "The Obama Nation" provided more revealing truths about Barack Obama. Corsi is to Obama what the National Enquirer was to John Edwards. For example, the blistering 40-page rebuttal to Corsis book put out by the Obama campaign could not deny that the "Frank" in Obamas 1995 book "Dreams From My Father," the "mentor" to young Barack, was in fact Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party member. Davis many writings and poems are filled with communist propaganda, including anti-American statements which became the subject of investigation by the FBI and numerous congressional committees. In another revealing rebuttal point, the Obama campaign sought to play down the connection between Obama and 60s-era terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn saying the two were "members of the establishment" Which "establishment"? The anarchists? The communists? The "rebuttal" to Corsis book could not dispel the ghost of Saul Alinsky either. The radical organizer and author of "Rules for Radicals" (hint: there are no rules), Alinsky was and is Obamas role model (and Hillarys too). Alinsky preached the destruction of Americas capitalist society by organizing the masses through calls for "change." Sound familiar? The Obama rebuttal to "The Obama Nation" saves about a third of its pages to a personal attack on author Dr. Jerome Corsi, a Catholic, who it turns out has said some provocative things in the past about the pope. It looks like Barack Obama learned something from the Clintons -- when the nasty truth hurts, attack the messenger. The "politics of personal destruction" reverberated around the media this past week, with Corsi attacked by Obama acolytes like the frothing-at-the-mouth Keith Obermann. Corsi kept his cool, and his book will be No. 1 on the NYT again this week. I interviewed Corsi for my radio show. He patiently went through the carefully researched book (almost 700 footnotes), declining to speculate on matters that could not be fully documented -- like the questionable Hawaii birth certificate. He expected the personal attacks, he said, especially after Sen. John Kerry, reliving a supposed mistake from his 2004 campaign, urged Barack Obama to attack Corsi for "swift boating" again. Corsis swift boat book hurt Kerry then, and Corsis book hurts Obama now for the same reason. Both books are well researched and true -- and the truth hurts. Year 2008 should be a Democratic landslide year. An unpopular president, an unpopular war and unsettling economic news combine to give the "change" candidate every advantage. So why is Barack Obama not 15 to 20 points ahead of his 71-year-old rival? After a summer of body surfing in Hawaii, preaching world citizenship to a rock concert audience in Berlin, announcing an energy policy consisting of putting air in our tires and calling for U.N. mediation of the Russian rape of Georgia, Barack Obama remains in a dead heat with John McCain. The Obama story -- and the words and deeds that accompanied the story -- inspired the hard-left primary voters and hardcore caucus goers. The same story in Obamas own words and as documented in Corsis "The Obama Nation" is simply not selling as well to everyday, pragmatic American voters who wonder how ready he is to be commander in chief when his negotiation with defeated rival Hillary Clinton gave the Clintons three of four nights at the Democratic Convention.
