Corsi Again Again

So, on last night's Larry King Live, one of the things that Paul Waldman brought up as a way of demonstrating Obama Nation author Jerome Corsi's lack of credibility was his past embrace of bigotry and general scumbaggery, as documented by "a whole series of bigoted and hateful posts" that Corsi "put up on right-wing Web sites." None of which Corsi denied! But, Corsi defended himself by shooting back that Waldman had failed to mention "all my apologies for those statements."

Well, like just about everything else that dribbles out of Corsi's cakehole, you can take those apologies and discount them entirely, because this Sunday, he is set to make an appearance on the well-named "The Political Cesspool" - which, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, is "an overtly racist, anti-Semitic radio show hosted by self-avowed white nationalist James Edwards." In the past, the show has welcomed some marquee names in the hate movement, including "Christian Identity pastor Pete Peters, Holocaust denier Mark Weber and former Klan boss David Duke."

If you can bear a look at some of the show's Great Works, you can do so here. This is how they roll in the Breakaway Republic of Swiftboatistan, all with the clucking approval of mainstream political media darling Mary Matalin, who regards these excrementalist dolts as "great scholars."

UPDATE: Sam Stein reports that he has received an email from Winston Smith, confirming Corsi's appearance on the show. Smith's email reads as follows: "Dr. Corsi's first appearance on our broadcast was very well received. On Sunday's show he'll be talking about his new book about Barak [sic] Hussein Obama. It'll be a fascinating converstaion [sic], and we hope you'll listen in."

Paul Waldman is right. How DO we know Mr. Corsi isn't still posting his bigoted screeds anonymously on right-wing blogs. After all, we only have his word for it that he isn't. He doesn't seem very credible.

It may be possible to feed some current posts into a program that detects similarities to what he posted anonymously several years ago. He seems just the type to try to get away with it. Busting him on it would be sweet.

It must be very difficult to be an old white guy these days? Funny how it's turned
so quickly and it truly gives me hope that our country isn't as brain dead as I thought
it was!

Observed in San Diego, with absolutely no particular methodology, while driving:

The only people (about 4-5 per week) I see with McCain 08 stickers are old white guys.
Really. No soccer/security moms. No construction workers. No "Offroaders for Bush types". In '04, the people who fell for Bush definitely had alot more stickers. Not this time.

It's going to be harder for the Registrar of Voters in San Diego to fudge the results this time!

Mary Matalin and James Carville believe the same things, folks. Carville is a racist Dixiecrat through and through.

I'm glad someone else thinks that way. I was never fooled by him for one second. I wouldn't doubt it was his idea for Clinton to have Ricky Ray Rector executed back in '92 so that he could appease the "Reagan Democrats" and show that he was not as sympathetic to the plight of African-Americans as he appeared to be. (Rector, of course, was a Death Row inmate in Arkansas with the mental development of a 5-year-old.)

Indeed! I never bought Carville's act for one second. He has repeatedly dissed Howard Dean, the most effective party chief the Dems have had in a long time (see 2006 eleciton) and said a lot of other stupid stuff. The word "whipped" comes to mind.

Anyone who's really paying attention would be able to tell you that James Carville is racist republican trying to pass himself off as a democrat

He's not trying to pass himself off as a democrat. He's a Clinton supporter, but that doesn't mean he's a democrat.

There's no hiding from the truth and if you want to sell any more books you issue a halfhearted apology and go back to what you do best,lie and smear.Mr.Corsi has been made aware of the lies in this book,and the smear job on kerry and still stands by them.He calls his critics "nitpickers",but can't defend himself when asked about the sources he cites in footnotes.His sources are known bigots and right wing blogs.How does a known practicing liar get financial backing?

It concerns me that this guy is being given such broad coverage by the mainstream media, which merely legitimizes him and his cohorts. More importantly, his appearance on this racist radio show will certainly fuel the lunatic racist fringe that recoils at the thought of a successful African-American like Barack. Remember, a nutjob in Florida was detained only last week for making threats against Obama. I pray for the safety of him and his family.

I wonder to what degree certain factors-- like media legitimization of Corsi's agenda and the public's appetite for tabloid journalism-- make books such as these so popular:

The more outrageous the claims of these people, the greater the media seems to echo their nonsense. Ratings, oh baby that felt good! Completely defeats the purpose of the press as vehicle for information.

I've been watching CNN all day and this book is getting minimal coverage. I have a feeling the MSM is truly scared of repeating the mistakes they made with "Swiftboat" coverage.

I've heard rumors about this guy from my conspiracy theory pals. They say he's a well connected (CIA black ops) agent provocateur. His endorsing the 9/11 truth movement is supposedly a disinformation campaign: by endorsing the movement he is supposed to discredit it by association.

Being tied to David Duke is always a negative association.

The book isn't meant to sow doubt about Obama as much as it's meant to solidify the idea that 9/11 being an inside job is a theory only fit for wack jobs.

The only reason this book is even a best seller right now is because of the RNC wack jobs that are purchasing mass quantities of it to keep it in the news. Don't be fooled by the deception America!

Instead of revealing anything new about Obama, looks like Corsi's "book" is revealing a whole lot about himself. SAD
All it takes is for a black man to run for president and the racists surface.

Racism is ingrained in the fabric which is America. It has never gone away, racism has just adapted to the changing times, it's more covert now than overt as it was in the past. No doubt it has gotten better and great strive have been made, but to totally irratic it will take more than mere words. It will take a open and honest discuss of some very painful times. It also will take to the opening of minding to allow the changing mind sets. Is America ready for this discussion, who knows actions speak louder than words.

I went to MM and read the transcripts from TPS. It's always disturbing to see that sort of thinking. Would that that was the only audience to which Corsi was peddling his slander. What year is it again?

Obama is doing what Kerry failed to do. If Kerry had hit back, he would be President Kerry now. Obama is refuting the entire screed in a 41 page responsa. I am delighted that he is doing that.

The idea behind an apology is supposedly that you are truely sorry for you sins of commission or omission - have learned from the experience - and supposedly won't rush out to do the same things all over again.

This is the sinister side of America; it reveals folks not only immensely fearful of losing what they conceive to be their place of superiority, but also so desperate, they throw reason out the window. We shouldn't be surprised.

Does anyone who writes for World Net Daily really have to be "exposed"?

Why do you think it is widely referred to as "World Nut Daily", by people from both sides of the political spectrum?

The only people who take them seriously are the "unfortunately" many people who live in rural and small town America and live on road kill and incest.

Drive west from St Louis and see what I mean.
