Just caught this on MSNBC's web site:
In fact, Farah said, Obama’s citizenship, not his birth, is actually the principal theme of World Net Daily’s upcoming book by Jerome Corsi titled, “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President.” Corsi first garnered headlines in 2004 as one of the architects of the so-called “Swift Boat” attacks on John Kerry’s war record.
For the love of God, I wish the Media would just wake the fuck up. The Birthers are literally the same people who were the Swift Boaters.
The Birthers are the Swift Boaters. It's the same modus operandi - tell a massive lie about a president (or presidential candidate), and never back down from that lie regardless of the mounting evidence that debunks that lie, and the Media will keep booking you to repeat the lie.
And the thing that irks me is how ridiculously impossible the conspiracy theory is that these jackasses spin.
In the case of Corsi's lies about John Kerry, the conspiracy theory was this -- John Kerry enlisted in the Navy, with the plan to fake a wound to earn a Purple Heart, so that after the war, he would join the anti-war movement and the Purple Heart would give him greater exposure, because the reason he was doing all this was because he would ride the anti-war sentiment into a political career and ultimately the White House.
It's just as ridiculous as the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama's family, after he was born in Kenya, somehow managed to get a hospital in Honolulu to plant his birth announcement in the paper, so that he could eventually go to America and become President, and usher in a Socialist Islamic state. And that doesn't even factor in somehow managing to get the Republican governor of Hawaii involved, to lie that the long form birth certificate existed.
So, to the Media, allow me to say one thing. WAKE THE FUCK UP!! You are being played by serial liars who have only one desire in the world - to marginalize, delegitimize and destroy the political career of Barack Obama.
