NYT review of Corsi's "Obama Nation".
Courtesy of truthout.

BTW, why don't we have a 'Corsi'?
:shrug:

"The book is being pushed along by a large volume of bulk sales, intense voter interest in Mr. Obama and a broad marketing campaign that has already included 100 author interviews with talk radio hosts across the country, like Sean Hannity and G. Gordon Liddy, Mr. Corsi said on Tuesday.

The publisher is Threshold Editions, a division of Simon & Schuster whose chief editor is Mary Matalin, the former Republican operative turned publisher-pundit. And it is a significant, early success for Ms. Matalin's three-year-old imprint, which is also planning to publish the memoirs of Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political guru. Threshold says it has undertaken an extensive printing effort for anticipated demand, with 475,000 copies of "The Obama Nation" produced so far.

"The goal is to defeat Obama," Mr. Corsi said in a telephone interview. "I don't want Obama to be in office."

He said he was planning to aid several conservative groups that intend to run advertisements against Mr. Obama this fall, though he would not name them.

1. We don't have a Corsi because we don't have to lie. McCain's truth is bad enough
But we do have Cliff Schecter's book The Real McCain. Haven't you read it?

6. Don't forget "Gook: John McCain’s Racism and Why It Matters"
Watch a short video of Irwin Tang discussing the word "gook" and how the GOP use it.

Buy Irwin Tang's book, Gook: John McCain’s Racism and Why It Matters

We have ethics instead. It's one or the other.

4. Damn. Ethics. That again.
I dunno.
If you somehow get involved in a nut cuttin', and you draw the line at cuttin' nuts, then I guess you'll be singing soprano?
:-(

5. "The book is being pushed along by a large volume of bulk sales" !?
When will the GOP-controlled media report that "large volume of bulk sales" is just a sign of Roger Ailes buying up the books to give them away on talk radio?

8. That's how they run up the "big" numbers - bulk sales. Something fishy
there.

9. Yes, but why won't the GOP-controlled media talk about it?
Why doesn't FOX report the facts of bulk sales pushing book sales up, and allow their viewers to decide?

7. Matalin a book editor? This is a low point in publishing....
There was a time when Simon & Schuster would have given Matalin the bum's rush. But now that the greed-crazed yahoos have taken over the publishing industry the bar has been lowered to somewhere around the fifth circle of hell.

10. Well, it's a good thing McCain has a backbone
and is refusing to run a smear campaign.

Fucking vile Republican filth...
