Corsi's book, New York Times bestseller is a piece of junk. The reviews are pretty clear.
Martin: Corsi's Book "Regardless Of Accuracy, Is What Many On The Right Want To Believe About Obama." Jonathan Martin wrote, "But Corsi delved into the drug-and-Muslim fever swamps, which,regardless of accuracy, is what many on the right want to believe about Obama." [Politico, 8/13/08]
Washington Post: Book "Lacks Major Revelations... Parts Of The Book Have Also Been Disproved By The Mainstream Media." "Corsi's ‘The Obama Nation' lacks major revelations and has been dismissed by Obama's campaign as a series of lies from a serial liar. Parts of the book have also been disproved by the mainstream media. In 2004, Corsi co-wrote ‘Unfit for Command,' in which Swift boat veterans criticized Sen. John F. Kerry's Vietnam War record. That book was also widely disproved...Nevertheless, Corsi's book about Obama will debut as a No. 1 New York Times bestseller." [Washington Post, 8/14/08]
It does not matter. People already want to believe that. They need it in a book. Then they will say: "I read it in a book." You know that type of people who "I read it in a book is synonymous to "must be, ought to be, TRUE." We all know that kind of people. The type who were unable of any critical thinking of a book in high school or college.
In this book, you need no critical thinking. It's simply factually not true. Consider this:
LIE IN CORSI'S BOOK: "Nowhere in the autobiography does Obama disclose that his wife-to-be accompanied him to Africa on the 1992 trip." [p 25]
REALITY: OBAMA WROTE ABOUT TAKING MICHELLE TO KENYA
Obama: "After Our Engagement, I Took Michelle To Kenya..." Obama wrote in Dreams, "After our engagement, I took Michelle to Kenya to meet the other half of my family. She was an immediate success there as well, in part because the number of Luo words in her vocabulary very soon surpassed mine. We had a fine time in Alego, helping Auma on a film project of hers, listening to more of Granny's stories, meeting relatives I'd missed the first time around." [Dreams, p 439]
No room for argument here, the author just lies.
The list goes on and on. A few samples:
LIE: "Obama did not dedicate Dreams from My Father to his mother, or to his father, Barack Senior, or to his Indonesian stepfather. Missing from the dedication are the grandparents who raised him in Hawaii, especially during the years his mother abandoned him to return to Indonesia to be with Lolo." [p 49]
REALITY: OBAMA DID DEDICATE HIS BOOK TO HIS FAMILY
Obama Wrote That He Owed "The Deepest Gratitude" And "Dedicated" His Book To "My Mother, My Grandparents, My Siblings, Stretched Across Oceans And Continents." "It is to my family, though -- my mother, my grandparents, my siblings, stretched across oceans and continents -- that I owe the deepest gratitude and to whom I dedicated this book. Without their constant love and support, without their willingness to let me sing their song and their toleration of the occasional wrong note, I could never have hoped to finish. If nothing else, I hope that the love and respect I feel for them shines through on every page." [Dreams From My Father, p xvii]
LIE: "Despite all they had done for him, his grandparents were still ‘white folks' and ‘white folks' are racists." [p 88]REALITY: OBAMA SAID CALLING HIS GRANDPARENTS "WHITE FOLKS" WOULDN'T RESONATE WITH HIM
Obama Said That The Phrase "White Folks" Did Not Resonate With Him, Because Of His Love For His Mother And Grandparents. Obama wrote, "White folks. The term itself was uncomfortable in my mouth at
first; I felt like a non-native speaker tripping over a difficult phrase. Sometimes I would find myself talking to Ray about white folks this or white folks that, and I would suddenly remember my mother's smile, and the words that I spoke would seem awkward and false. Or I would be helping Gramps dry the dishes after dinner and Toot would come in to say she was going to sleep, and those same words-white folks-would flash in my head like a bright neon sign, and I would suddenly grow quiet, as if I had secrets to keep." [Dreams, p. 81 - 82]
Folks (ALL FOLKS), the book is full of lies. Too many to put on a gather article. The author is liar. So are the people who invite him and don't challenge him. Sean Hannity who claims that everything in the book is correct.
You still think so? This is crap. It's a bestseller!!!
Los Angeles Times: "Being No. 1 Doesn't Necessarily Mean Being Accurate." The Los Angeles Times reported, "The book lashes out at Barack Obama and alleges, among other things, that the politician has a secret radical Islamic agenda. But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian." [Los Angeles Times, 8/12/08]
A book from the guy who claims that Pedophilia is OK with the POPE. Where are the catholics?
Politico: "Outrageous Assertions and Fringe Theories...Have Hurt His Credibility on the Right as Well."
"[H]is outrageous assertions and fringe theories - which include allegations that President Bush worked to eliminate the borders with Mexico and Canada and the assertion that Kerry is a Communist - have hurt his credibility on the right, as well. ... On the blog FreeRepublic.com, Corsi wrote that pedophilia ‘is OK with the
Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press,' that ‘RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters.'" [Politico, 8/13/08]
Who is buying the book? High school dropouts? I did not they were avid readers!!!

Time to expose the guy now.
Obama's tax structures, the democrats healthcare, their idea of the role of the federal government, the judges they would put on the bench and other concern me. Not this garbage. When my party supports this garbage, it gives me a pause.
If McCain does not denounce this he won't get my vote.
Obama's book(s) has nothing to do with politics. It's the story of his life. Nothing said about democrat, republican. Is it factual? Nobody has contradicted it. Not even Corsi. What Corsi simply says he did not mention this and that, when he actually did. So, he is not going after the veracity.
Thanks for your comment otherwise.
I think it has been established that the facts from Corsi's book are untrue. See the first sample. By him saying Obama did not mention X, when X was dealt with in multiple quotes discredit that book for sure. No argument about that book.
Other than that, places that promote his book include an appearance with host James Edwards on the August 17 edition of The Political Cesspool Radio Show, which, according to its “Statement of Principles,” “represent[s] a philosophy that is pro-White.” In a blog post, Edwards has stated that “[i]nterracial sex is white genocide.”
