Do not mock the wingnuts: WND’s Joseph Farah May Sue Esquire Over Birther Parody

The magazine’s parody claimed that Farah was recalling the WND-published book Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President, by Dr. Jerome Corsi, and giving refunds to anyone who already purchased a copy.

“Don’t believe everything you read,” Farah said in an interview with TPM on Wednesday.

“The only hint at the parody was the made up name of Jerry’s book about the moon landing or something, and I had to do a double take and read it two or three times in astonishment before I even caught that,” Farah said.

“But judging from the response of our peers at Politico and the Daily Caller and all the other media calling me, I think that went right by a lot of folks,” Farah said. “And it certainly went by a lot of ordinary readers. I’ve been under siege here with people saying ‘Why are you going after Corsi! What are you doing?’”

Farah said he’s already exploring his legal options against the publication.
