Jerome Corsi’s new book on Barack Obama debuted at number one on the New York Times list. But I was surprised and dismayed to learn that Corsi is a 9-11 Truther.

For me, and I suspect for many others, that is a huge, honking red “no-credibility” flag.

David Freddoso’s book, although I have not read it yet, looks like a much better bet: The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.

UPDATE at 8/15/08 12:41:05 pm:

Corsi has also appeared several times on the vile white nationalist radio show Political Cesspool, a favorite haunt of David Duke. Excuse me while I retch.
