Forthrightness lacking in DNC Obama

Obama, makes his appearance as presidential candidate in a fashion that is clouded by his failure to make a clear disclosure of not only his campaign agenda,but his extremely questionable past alliances. Why should anyone trust this man on the lack of merit, experience,and complete lack of openness on issues we should all be clear about in our understanding of his intentions?I among many others would like Mr. Obama to freely disclose his citizenship qualifications, school records, birth certificate, all which should clear the air of doubt surrounding the Senator . Anything less indicates a fear on his part of being not only discredited, but as seen as a liar Who would trust a pathological liar as president of the United States of America. The answer of course is { the enemies ]of freedom, liberty,and all that our people have held dear, and have fought for for the entire history of this nation... Away with this impostor ,usurper, Senator Barack Obama should be excised immediately from his candidacy, stripped of his Senatorial seat, and made to apologize to the American people,and start honestly from the beginning with FULL DISCLOSURE

Let the truth indeed make him free ,or branded as described above. G.E.K

Jerome Corsi is NOT a liar!! ??

Then I guess we must take him at his word.In recent articles at worldnetdaily.com, Corsi has claimed (among other charges) that the McCain campaign received “strong” financial support from a “group tied to Al Qaeda” and that “McCain’s personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona.”

jerk off journalism

The problem with the left is your written "news" is only self pleasuring fantasy. Go dig up dirt on a guy that asks a question and never look at the answer to that question, self imposing intellectualism. You already have the answers before you ask any questions.

Idiots

First of all, anyone who votes for Obama IS an idiot. Secondly, to critique Corsi's book and say he is lying is pure idiocy when he has EVERY SINGLE ACCUSATION backed by a very large list of references in the back. Of course, that's something liberals know nothing about, using references in a book. Of course, that's because liberals lie and make up their facts, and so they cannot find references to back them up. To call Obama flawed is about the biggest understatement I have ever heard. But of course, people do not want to know the truth, because ignorance is bliss. So step up to the podium Mr. Jimmy Carter II and welcome to your presidency! Can't wait til he ruins the country just like Carter did. Oh, and God bless Jerome Corsi for doing what media fools like Mr. Mashek here are afraid to do; tell the truth.

corsi trash

I find it odd that Mary Maitlin is publisher of this trash and her husband is a leading spokesperson for the Democrats...has he no input into his marriage for this work that demeans every thing he stands for?

McCain Book

Why hasn't a liberal wrote a book about John McCain? Everybody has an agenda when writing a book. I really, really, don't why people are so offended. I also find it funny, Democrats are offended by dirty politics, when it's against them. But silent, when books that published about George Bush or other Republicans/conservatives. Isn't dirty politics, dirty politics?

"left wing attack sans facts"

The post entitled "left wing attacks sans facts" is remarkable for itself not containing a single fact. What it amounts to is a disorderly pile of opinions from someone who manifestly is not acquainted with those things called facts. And the snide reference to those horrible "Europeans" (they eat snails, you know) is laughable.

what about book editors?

I think this book reflects very poorly on book publisher Simon and Schuster. Shouldn't non-fiction be edited by an editor who is looking for facts and objectivity?

The fact that this thing even made it into print is a black eye for all of the book publishers and editors who try to keep an open mind and do a good job.

Simon and Schuster is apparently now another Republican pawn.

Facts

Here is one distortion and untruth in Corsi's Book:

Corsi says in his book that Obama was raised for 10 years in Indonesia by his Muslin Dad and Mom. He goes on that Barack was registered in Muslim School as a Muslim, he quotes source as Obama's Books. FACTS: In Obama's Biography and Books, he said his Dad departed when he was two years old (Is this not pre school?) and his athiest Mom moved them to United States (Hawaii) at that time in his life. Public records shows he bacame US Citizen and was never raised Muslim.

This book is a political hit job by the right wing whack jobs. Their strategy is is to alter reality with lies and if told enough they become truth (Look at Corsi's Book "Unfit for Command" that slandered and attacked John Kerry). They create slime and then throw it against their opponents and hope some of it sticks.

Corsi tried to hoodwink the public by hundreds of footnotes that are worthless. Check the Credit's Page: 1-9 & 10-12 lists the source as Jerome Corsi PHD (what a joke). The rest of the credits are right wing bloggers and haters of the Democratic Party.

I read this book and can list hundreds of distortions, mistatements and out and out lies. Unfortunately, I only have room here for these comments.
