They actually call themselves the DNC Rapid Response Team?

Delusions of grandeur or something.

Any evidence to refute the allegations..........

Has BHO's narcissism infected all of them or, has he merely brought out latent tendencies?

What's McCain got to do with it? Is Corsi on his payroll?

The Bourne Response.

why is it McCain's job to defend Obama? Let this slacker do it himself. Obama has pulled the MCCain's Fault card a bit too much.

I think they're stretching it to try to make more of McCain's statement.

Besides- according to Politico, McCain didn't even hear the question.

re: #5 MandyManners

Has BHO's narcissism infected all of them or, has he merely brought out latent tendencies?

Seeing as how they are all basically children that have refused to ever grow up, I would hazard a guess saying latent tendencies being brought out.

Never mind the actual facts of reality, if it contradicts the official narrative it is a lie.

And they expect us to trust them?

Feel his aloha!

Has anyone debunked the debunkers yet?

The media are not playing their role as watchdogs, and they’re letting McCain off the hook as he allows Corsi’s despicable lies to drag this race into the gutter.

I didn’t realize that McCain is so omniscient that he can "allow" Corsi to write a book.

After looking Obama's rebuttals I think it's safe to say the book is crap anyways. Most of it seems to be about if he was registered in kindergarten as a Muslim, did he dedicate his book to his family, did obama smoke pot, etc. Who cares about this crap anyways?

No one....but those aren't the only allegations in the book. As usual, the left has singled out some dumbass points and are trying to portray all criticism of Obama as limited to them. And a lot of people are falling right into their trap.

This morning, when asked about the book, all John McCain could say about Corsi’s outrageously false attacks was, “Gotta keep your sense of humor.” Despite pledging to run a respectful campaign, McCain is just standing by while Corsi and his publisher, former Dick Cheney aide Mary Matalin, poison this presidential race.

Maybe when Obama disowns Kos, someone will give a crap.

Reality and truthful, accurate recollections (about John Kerry) are now 'smears and lies'?

You won't be 'swift-boated'? You mean, you won't let the truth sink your hopes?

You're right, Dr Yeeeaaarrrrggg. They're not. They've been shamelessly worshipping your boy, obama. It's gotten so bad, even members of the UK press noticed it and had to parody it. But, you're obviously fooling no one but your own people, so...have fun deluding yourselves.

Keep up the good fight,

And that would be their fight against America right?

Funny how the Dems have all kinds of problems with Corsi- but his being a 9/11 troofer isn't one of them

There is a tendency to think of themselves as infallibly correct and to think of anyone who opposes them as criminals. Just like the Church of Scientology.

Which is part of the inspiration for my calling their present movement the Church of Obamatology.

Don't kid yourselves, folks. This "anti-Swiftboating" tactic is working.

And Corsi's associations with neo-Nazis are indefensible.

Gee, I always thought that John O'Neill was the one who kicked off the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth campaign. But the Transcendent One says otherwise. Whom to believe?

My advice to McCain is to hang out with O'Neill, congratulate the Swift Vets for their service despite being slandered by the likes of Kerry and (now) Obama. Corsi's irrelevant.

temporary. that's the key.

The media are not playing their role as watchdogs, and they’re letting McCain off the hook as he allows Corsi’s despicable lies to drag this race into the gutter.

Heh. And double heh! These folks wouldn't know lies from a hole in the.....ground. This race is in the gutter all right, especially with BHO body surfing the waves in Hawaii, while there is an international crises going on. Way to act presidential presumptive. Heh, again.

Quick, shout our lies really loud so nobody can hear the truth.

Also, Corsis' detractors seem rather obsessed with the more minor of Corsi's charges- they don't seem to address the major issues.

Was Corsi a ron paul backer? Seems like troofers and neo-nazis meet at ron paul.

McCain is on the hook for something someone unconnected to his campaign wrote? He's responsible for someone else's thoughts and free speech rights? That's mighty leftist of Obama's people to demand that McCain someone who is exercising their free speech rights.

How about this - is there anything in the book that is libelous? If it is, does it rise to the level of actionable lawsuit? Or, would that actually mean discovery by which some of his statements be proven accurate?

You don't have to focus on Obama's birth records or religion to find fault with Obama the candidate.

You could start simply with the part where he joined Rev. Wright's congregation and somehow stayed for 20 years without ever hearing any of Wright's racist statements.

You could start with the part where Obama met up with Bill Ayers and learned Chicago politics from the unrepentant anti-American terrorist.

You could start with Tony Rezko.

Or, you can now look at Fred Baron.

Quick, shout our lies really loud so nobody can hear the truth.

Besides- according to Politico, McCain didn't even hear the question.

But if they can redirect all Messiah criticism as originating from McCain, then they have their platform. Pretty pathetic and they will only be preaching to their own base, but they will make a lot of noise with it. Thinks of two year old's with a cabinet full of pots and pans.

9/11 troofers (on both the left and the right) can kiss my frogs phat ass.

I expect the tactic IS working, more's the pity.

McCain needs to find a way to condemn Corsi in the most credible manner possible. I think contacting O'Neill for a joint statement might work, but I'm not sure how...

I honestly believe that the best way for all conservatives to fight this tactic is to renounce and repudiate Jerome Corsi, not to defend him.

Agreed. And too bad that swift boating has become synonymous with misrepresentation. From my recollection, the swift boat allegations were never disproved, let alone denied by the Kerry campaign. It sunk them but good. But your point that 'swift boating" has made it into vernacular as an unfair, biased, untruthful, attack seems to become established. It's the curse of American ADD. So much crap is flung at walls, that even though they may not stick, they become part of the myth.

re: #76 neocon hippie

The DNC can't point out that Corsi's a troofer, because Obama's base is full of troofers.

Among Obama's base only Muslims like Keith Ellison could be considered Truthers, and mostly they're in it out of cognitive dissonance. Obama is however getting some crossover Troofers from libertarian / RINO quarters, like Lincoln Chafee.

1) Corsi's a nutjob, no question. Freddoso's book is far more credible and it's unfortunate that Corsi's book is getting the attention.

2) I read the "rapid response" piece; there are some places where they've got Corsi by the short hairs because he's clearly sloppy.

3) But many of their responses to items they list as "LIE" do not refute what Corsi claims. For instance, they label a "LIE" Corsi's statement that Rezko paid $14,000 to build a fence. Their response is that Rezko had to pay for the fence under municipal codes. Okay, that's a rebuttal, and a reasonable one, but that doesn't make the initial statement a "LIE". Misleading perhaps, but not a "LIE". This occurs all over the document.

4) Most offensive is their attempt to whitewash William Ayers. It's a "LIE" to note that his book promotion comments came out on 9/11 because the reality is that the interview was conducted prior to 9/11 (uh, that makes it a "LIE"?). Their claims that Ayers and Dohrn were "members of the establishment" because some people said they'd met with them is really laughable.

Doesn't mean that this Corsi joker needs to be some sort of "face" of the Obama opposition. Don't get sucked in! Stick to the facts about BHO. It's plenty, with probably more to come.

re: #106 Sharmuta

On August 15th, Corsi has endorsed Constitution Party canidate Chuck Baldwin, who has campaigned to reopen the investigation into the September 11, 2001 attacks in support of the 9/11 Truth Movement, for President of the United States.

Yep. And Corsi has previously said some negative things about McCain. I don't recall McCain whining to Obama to denounce it and fight his battles for him.

McCain need to figuratively 'curb' Corsey immediately, and I think he probably will. Obama will not be taken down by cheesy innuendo. This kind of stuff is really ham handed.

My dad watches it all the time.. but then again..he did weather working for the gov't for 32 years..
good to see ya..hows the vette running?

I will express a frustration -

I know that Corsi is a nutbag. I know that his nutbag status undermines his book.

But I have to ask - so what?

If I want to see a left wing nutbag, all I have to do is turn on MSNBC. The whole line up is nutbags (including their token "conservative" Pat Buchanan who is a nutbag).

And I don't have to flip too many stations to see more nutbags repeating the same old lies about Iraq, Islamists, the president, the status of the US Constitution or any other meme that I can read on a bumper sticker in Berkeley.

So Corsi publishes a book with many things about Obama that I already know, sprinkled with fantasy and ad hominems.

If I go to Barnes and Noble, I walk through the door and there is a rack full of such books talking about Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, McCain, and anyone else who would dare to put an (R) after his/her name.

So the point is this - I don't give a shit if there is a book out there written by a nutbag that makes some kooky assertions about Obama, just as I have learned to not care about the thousands of them written about Bush et al.

Caveat Emptor.

Better a right wing attack than a Soviet attack.

re: #117 Sharmuta

Indeed- seems Corsi doesn't like McCain based on this piece.

Exactly. i have been reading the paranoid fantasies of this man for a while on the off and on. i believe that after the success of his book, his ego inflated and then the damage to his logic receptors occurred.

Of course. But apparently, there are people who don't care about that. They're more concerned with being tarred with the same brush.

Corsi can be the biggest fruitcake in the known universe but if he comes out and supports the repeal of the DC gun ban, I'm not going to jump on the gun grabbers stupid train just to distance myself.

The right-wing smear machine is in full force — blasting out Corsi’s stale fabrications far and wide to a media that’s been eager to pick it up. In just three days, Corsi’s made front page news in both the New York Times and Washington Post.

The media are not playing their role as watchdogs, and they’re letting McCain off the hook as he allows Corsi’s despicable lies to drag this race into the gutter.

I would assume they include FoxNews as part of their "right wing smear machine"; however, earlier tonight on Fox, there was a piece about Corsi and the parts I heard were not particularly flattering to him.

is this a devious soros plot?

re: #134 The Other Les

They can handle a right-wing attack. As for a Soviet attack I should think that their most likely response is, "what took you so long?"

PIMF!

They can't handle a right-wing attack.

I did go through the DNC "write your own letter" routine just to see how it would work. They've got the whole thing automated -- you enter in your zip code, it gives you a list of newspapers to which to send the letter, they offer useful suggestions for what to write, then it's one click to send the letter to newspapers.

I resisted the temptation to write a vociferous defense of William Ayers' bombings.

"...And remind them that John McCain should honor his word by stepping up and denouncing this kind of low road politics:..."

In other words, do the opposite of BOs strategy of allowing trash writers on HIS blog site and allowing sites such as DU, Kos, Huffington, et al to smear any and all Republicans? The fact that leading Democrats use these sites to disseminate their "message" lends legitimacy to their sites, thus they should follow BOs and the DNC Rapid Response Teams "high ideals" and expectations should they not?

This was an attempt to smear McCain and McCain should laugh in their faces.

This morning, when asked about the book, all John McCain could say about Corsi’s outrageously false attacks was, “Gotta keep your sense of humor.” Despite pledging to run a respectful campaign, McCain is just standing by while Corsi and his publisher, former Dick Cheney aide Mary Matalin, poison this presidential race.

And...

The media are not playing their role as watchdogs, and they’re letting McCain off the hook as he allows Corsi’s despicable lies to drag this race into the gutter.

Gimme a break. What responsibility does McCain have here? How is he allowing Corsi to do anything? As far as I can tell, McCain has no connection to, nor control over, Corsi.

These excerpts are just silly.

McCain can't lose by laughing. It makes the DNC response look thin skinned and defensive about a book McCain didn't write. McCain can also attribute his laughter to the kookiness of some of Corsi's ideas.

re: #130 Sharmuta

Huh, interesting. Here's their source: ‘Obama Nation’ author endorses Chuck Baldwin

Let me put this latest fiasco to bedevil the Obama campaign into context.

Kerry was "swiftboated" in 2004 not by Jerome Corsi, but by Kerry's fellow Swift Boat Veterans, who simply told the truth. The TV ads were far more devastating to Kerry than Corsi's book ever was.

It is generally observed that Obama is a man with no accomplishments and no ability except to read from a script.

It is a truthful maxim that a man can be judged by his enemies.

Obama has chosen to make one of his chief enemies the political commentator of Coast to Coast AM with George Noory (the paranormal late-night nationally syndicated talk show associated with Art Bell).

Even if Obama succeeds in a "total takedown" of Corsi, it just makes Obama look pathetic for choosing such an insignificant opponent.

Barack sings a song:

Times have changed
The story's getting worse
They won't obey the MSM
They just want to fart and curse!
Should we blame the government?
Or blame society?
Or should we blame the images on TV?
No, blame John McCain
Blame John McCain
With his beady little eyes
flapping head so full of lies
Blame John McCain
Blame John McCain
We need to form a full assault
It's John McCain's fault!
Don't blame me
For Reverend Wright, man
He talked to John McCain
And now he's off to join the Klan!
And dear Grandma once
Had my picture on her shelf
But now when I see her she tells me to fuck myself!
Well, blame John McCain
Blame John McCain
It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since John McCain came along
Everyone: Blame John McCain
Blame John McCain
He's just an old fart anyway
The US could've had the privilege of having me in charge
Instead I have to fight a vote from Bubba and from Marge
Should we blame my campaign?
Should we blame the media fuss?
Or should we go find someone to go under the bus?
HECK NO
Blame John McCain
Blame John McCain
With POW hullabaloo
And that druggie Cindy too (but don't drag my wife into this!)
Everyone: Blame John McCain
Shame on John McCain
For...
The rumors we must stop
The trash we must bash
The Laughter and fun
Must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus!

re: #81 Naso Tang

McCain should ask them if he should read the book first, before commenting. That will shut the reporters up.

re: #150 Killgore Trout

That's McCain's answer right there. Tell 'em to ask what Chuck thinks. He's his guy.

Corsi's book is a run away best seller! If the reading public wants to pat big bucks for this stuff let them have it. I don't see BHO condemning MTV! Its show biz and the Messiah is on stage.

It would be a bad move for Obama (which is fine by me, just so's ya know). Does he really want to dredge up all of the previous race's baggage? It doesn't seem to me that Kerry would broaden his base much either geographically or ideologically.

Corsi made it clear years ago that he wanted nothing to do with the GOP. Loud and clear. He hates Bush and Cheney.

The Boston Herald confirms Corsi's cited quotation:
"I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon [sic] claimed there were no American troops was very real."

If you're a columnist for a Boston paper and are short of an idea, writing about Kerry as VP is an easy way to solve the "What shall I write about today?" problem, w/o having to actually come up with any new information.

LOS ANGELES — Here's a mind-bending idea: The U.S. military is paying scientists to study ways to read people's thoughts.

The hope is that the research could someday lead to a gadget capable of translating the thoughts of soldiers who suffered brain injuries in combat or even stroke patients in hospitals. But the research also raises concerns that such mind-reading technology could be used to interrogate the enemy.

re: #166 pat
He also thinks that McCain is funded by al Qaeda
Group tied to al-Qaida backs McCain for prez

By Jerome R. Corsi

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.

The Albanian American Civic League, or AACL, regards the KLA as "freedom fighters," said the AACL's president, former Republican congressman Joe DioGuardi of New York.

They're "not terrorist, like the Serbs and Greeks say," DioGuardi insisted in an interview with WND.

But Islam expert Robert Spencer, editor of the popular website Jihad Watch, contends radical Islam is the driving force behind the Kosovo independence movement.

"There is no excusing the excesses of the Serbs under (former President Slobodan) Milosevic, but there is no denying also that jihadists have been pouring into Bosnia and Kosovo, preparing to use them as a base for jihad activity in Europe – and we have been helping them," Spencer told WND.

I heard Corsi on Fox and he's full of crap.

More stuff -- utterly debunked by the way -- on Obama's "forged" birth certificate without an official seal and such... Obama's a closet Muslim (e.g., the Indonesian school registration). And so on.

Here's probably what it is.

Obama has a list of possible VPs. There's about 100 names on it, including prominent members of the Senate, and that would include Kerry. Someone on Kerry's staff or former campaign team is working for Obama for this campaign and got wind that Kerry is on the long list. This person is mostly likely the "political insiders" who spoke with WBTV. In essence, the story is true, but not likely.
