The DNC is requesting LTTE's about Corsi's book and swiftboating.
http://www.democrats.org/page/speakout/unfitHere's my letter to the editor about Jerome Corsi's new book, "Obama Nation" :
Fair and balanced...that's what the media said they were in 2004. I thought it meant they would report the truth...objective and unbiased news. Boy, was I wrong!
What they did (in the name of fairness) was to grant equal credibility to people of integrity and liars alike. The media provided them a platform on which all players were considered equal...no matter their history or whether the truth and facts were on their side or not.
Enter Jerome Corsi. With John O'Neill he wrote and promoted a book designed to bring down Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry. The lies in his book, "Unfit for Command." have since been documented. But his tactic...enabled by a media touting 'fairness' and 'balance'...worked. John Kerry was denied the White House.
Now, Corsi has a new book. "Obama Nation" was written, according to Corsi himself, with the purpose of denying Obama the White House. Again, he relies on lies and promotes fear to reach his goal. His book has become # 1 based on advance sales in bulk...promoted by groups that support his agenda. Some media, to their credit, are saying there are falsehoods in the book, just like in 2004. That is a step forward.
But now, Corsi is promoting his book on television and talk radio (some of which preach hate and divisiveness) in the hope (I am sure) of reaching the same audience who bought his book in 2004. Whether he will be successful in using his book to steal the electoral will of the American people depends on how we citizens respond.
I'd suggest we throw those bulk copies of "Obama Nation" where they belong...in the garbage.
