Media Matters(updated below)
Today I listened to Sean Hannity's radio show. His guest was Jerome Corsi, the author of the forthcoming book
The Obama Nation. In 2004, Corsi co-authored the book Unfit for Command with Swift Boat Liar John O'Neill (I have written about Corsi
here and
here).
On Hannity's show, Corsi bragged about the number of footnotes in the book (which means little in terms of accuracy--note Ann Coulter's
thoroughly endnoted but dishonest book Slander). As luck would have it, around the time that Corsi was crowing to Hannity about how well-researched the book was, Media Matters posted on their web site how
the first reported allegation from the book is false based on an article promoting the book on WorldNetDaily,
a far-right web site that Corsi writes for.
UPDATE: Media Matters has
a post on Steve Sailer, noted racist and contributor to the Washington Times,
I wrote about Sailer on the Moon blog last year.
UPDATE II: Department of I'm-Not-Making-This-Shit-Up. WorldNetDaily, the site that carries Corsi's column, has
a column by apocalyptic author and theologian Hal Lindsey titled "How Obama prepped world for the Antichrist." I mentioned Lindsey in
my article about the satanic scare.
UPDATE III: Media Matters uncovered another falsehood that Corsi made on Hannity & Colmes.
UPDATE IV: Media Matters
has more on Corsi's falsehoods.
UPDATE V: Media Matters' comprehensive post debunking Corsi's book.
