Jerome Corsi

Not 24 hours after the massacre at Ft. Hood, wingnuts have found a way to turn it into something political. In this instance, Maj. Hasan was an adviser to Obama, brought to you by birther in chief – Jerome Corsi. What a great way to honor the memory of those who perished yesterday – NOT.

This crazy:

Jerome Corsi, the author of "The Obama Nation," an anti-Obama book, says that a proposal in Congress "appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany."

It goes on far beyond that to include the “off with their head” defense of the administration. Yes – the right is saying that the Obama administration is stock piling guillotines to behead its critics.

This latest episode of “crapsiracy theories gone wild” has even sparked some on the right to go after World Net Daily in much the same way that William F. Buckley went after the John Birch Society back in the 60s.

We could be seeing the dawn of a major GOP civil war brewing and it is going to be a lot of fun to watch from the sidelines. The war has been brewing for quiet sometime now, and been fueled by GOP members of Congress offering validation to some of these whack-job claims. When it does happen they have no one to blame but themselves, although they will try to blame Obama for it. My guess is it will be the product of some mind controlling machine that caused Republicans to attack one another.

Another Jerome Corsi article has been found on WND, this time saying that McCain's personal fortune traces back to the mob.

John McCain's personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc.

Again, I have a PDF of the page saved in case WND decides to clean the site some.

AmericaBLOG uncovered this latest find, so the hat tip needs to go there. I wonder what the wingnuts excuse will be on these articles? I also wonder if the traditional media will report on Corsi's articles of a highly corrupt McCain?

I have ignored the whole Jerome Corsi smear campaign against Obama. It is just another perfect example of how the Republican base wants to destroy the discourse of American politics. Now I must throw myself into this smut filled debate to pose a question. If Corsi is right about Obama, then is he also right about McCain? Point in hand:

Group tied to al-Qaida backs McCain for prez

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.

(in case WND realizes this is still up on there site and tries to remove it, I do have a PDF of the page saved here)

In March of this year. Corsi tried to tie the McCain campaign to our biggest enemy in the "war on terror". Since so many take Corsi's writings as gospel, then we can safely say that John McCain is receiving some great support from al Qaeda then.
