"His is just one of what will likely be many more lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle, which are cobbled together from debunked internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda. We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal."
For freedom loving Americans, the words above should be downright chilling, they are hateful and combined with the ominous threats issued from Obama's team are downright Orwellian. But what is more disturbing though than the words themselves is the collusion of the mainstream media and those who have traditionally assumed the role in America as the vanguards of free speech.
Emboldened and aided by a sycophantical mainstream media eager to tag-team and pummel Corsi relentlessly with vile ad hominem attacks and characterize both him and his book in the most defamatory and vituperative of terms. Where is the outrage? It was Barack Obama himself who touted his foreign policy credentials with the cute anecdotal stories of his childhood in Indonesia. To paraphrase Justice Stewart, where does he get off crying "Smear", when an opponent or an industrious blogger or reporter discovers and proves that Barack Obama or rather Barry Soetoro was all the while being dishonest with the American people. For Obama, the best test of truth is not to get itself accepted in the competition of the market but to kill the messenger. Not only is this un-American, but unacceptable.
Our country's forefathers and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom would be rolling over in the graves at the prospect of Obama's "change" and progression evolving in policy.
For the advocates of this perverse militant egalitarianism, reasoned argument is replaced by a conditioned reflex as Obama's legions of lickspittle automatons mindlessly parrot as "evidence" whatever Obama himself has written in any one of his own self-serving books. You see this has never been about the free interchange of ideas or even the ascertainment of truth, this is all about entitlement and nothing not even freedom or liberty is going to get in the way.
"Unfit For Publication"? I'm sorry Barack Obama, but this is America and not some tinpot dictatorship and if Penthouse Magazine and Jet Magazine are fit for publication then so is Jerry Corsi's book. Having said that though, there is no doubt in my mind that you and your legion of jackbooted apparatchiks would have Corsi's book consigned to the flames if you had the power and that Mr. Obama is why you must be stopped at all costs.
So back to the threat that "We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal."
Well Mr. Obama, I am one of Jerry Corsi's "debunked internet sources", now vindicated and I say, bring it on.

Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteLet not your heart be troubled. Over the last couple of days the tide has turned. Obama is in big trouble. The media are atwitter about what went wrong. The leftish blogs are discombobulated. The Democratic Convention might be the most entertaining one I've seen in the last 56 years.
Obama crashed and burned last Saturday at the Saddleback Church debate. A couple of polls taken before that event showed a swing towards McCain. The next series of polls are going to cause a real panic in the party.
I'm starting to enjoy this. But then, I've always kinda liked Greek Tragedies.
Regards,
Roy
Yes, it is getting messy and it looks like the DNC is going to be entertaining to say the least.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost time to deliver the coup de grâce

Hilarious stuff, truly. What did you do for Senator Obama came along? Let me guess, a blog about aliens...some other conspiracy?
ReplyDeleteTo you, and all your right-wing friends...enjoy November. Senators Obama/Biden are going to win - and we'll be thinking about these silly efforts that try to pass themselves off as having more than a shred of truth.
Time has come up with a piece that avoids outright ad hominem against your arguments.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1835629,00.html
I was born and raised in Malaysia, and even I know that certificate declaration of religion should not be taken at face value.
Remember that Indonesia's Pancasila (as imitated by Malaysia's Rukun Negara) explicitly states in its first line:
"Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa", i.e. a supreme god.
This is a country where atheism is not recognised, and therefore atheists have nominal religions.
From the article, I see you've been living in Malaysia as well. So I take it you understand the inherent institutional bias against non-Muslims.
Coming from the Borneo state of Sabah, I know numerous nominal Muslims, who neither practices any of the religion's tenets, nor care. However, they have no qualms putting down their religion as Islam, simply because their parents were Islam, and due to the benefits of being officially one.
So I think you've jumped the gun with just a mere certificate right there.
I'm listed as a particular religion on numerous documents, but interestingly I'm not. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteBecause my parents filled them out.
Only an idiot would think that a child's registration at school by their *parent* should actually mean anything compared to 30+ years of counter evidence.
Go back to the restaurant business. You're not doing too good at the investigative journalism thing.
Corsi believes that McCain is in bed with Islamic terrorists (and the Democrats with the Iranians); oil is actually an infinite resource secretly controlled by oil companies and politicians; and that 9-11 was perpetrated by the American government.
ReplyDeleteHe apparently thinks Islam is "a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion", a "cancer that destroys the body it infects", and has been further quoted as saying "RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together". (He, shall we say, 'distrusts' Catholics and Jews as well.)
Conservatives - including his fellow right-wing commentators at World Net Daily - describe him as a conspiracy theorist, "annoying" and "from the fringe", and have accused him of plagiarism.
He is not a man to be taken seriously and Obama's team is right to dismiss his claims. It seems a bit paranoid to interpret "all means at our disposal" as a not-so-veiled personal threat exposing their malicious totalitarian natures.
Honestly, their response is much less hateful, ominous and chilling than your talk of "lickspittle automatons", "jackbooted apparatchiks" and stopping Obama "at all costs".
Yikes.
