Swift Boat Author Smears Self
His next written effort, Corsi notes, involves hatchet jobs on all six of the most prominent Democratic vice presidential candidates, "just to be ready."

Let's review some of what we know about Corsi: he cavorts with white supremacists, he is a known plagiarist (according to a conservative!), and he is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

Corsi's New York Times bestseller status is mentioned like some imprimatur to the book's veracity rather than introducing his book as the right wing tactic, Swiftboating.

It's more reasonable to ask McCain about Corsi than it was to ask Obama about Farrakhan. The Democrat and the Nation of Islam leader are not linked. Corsi and the GOP are.

Corsi piles distortion upon innuendo to create a gigantic heap of right-wing garbage, with a seemingly endless parade of basic factual errors running through the text like rats.

Corsi has been referred to as a "conservative gadfly." But the word "gadfly" implies someone who is well intentioned and who seeks to provoke thought in others, not a lying, white supremacist, propagandist.

These books destroy civic debate on purpose -- and are fundamentally at odds with democracy. The goal of Corsi's project is not to discuss facts -- it is to destroy the very possibility of discussion.

Corsi's biggest claim to fame is co-authoring the infamous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Judging from the shrill and paranoid tone of his latest effort I get the impression Obama has really scared these guys this time.
