Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate?"

BFB · **Posted:** Mon May 16, 2011 1:37 pm

I know we've talked about this on the WND thread, but I figured why not give it its own since we're probably going to be ripping the shit out of it for a while.

And I'll start:

Corsi doesn't waste any time in hinting at the intellectual dishonesty he employs in this book. On the third page of the freaking Preface, he writes:

Quote:

On August 4, 2010, President Obama's 49th birthday, a CNN poll showed the majority of Americans expressing doubts about the president's eligibility, with an astonishing 6 out of 10 people uncertain that he was born in the United States.

Here's what the poll actually showed:

42 % said he was definitely born in the US
29% said he was probably born in the US
16% said he was probably born in another country
11% said he was definitely born in another country

To me, "probably" means you're leaning to believing what the person said. So, if Corsi had been honest, he would have reported that 27 percent of Americans -- nearly 3 out of 10 -- believe the president was not born in the US. That was a pretty significant number, but Corsi and Farah couldn't resist the temptation to boost it by spinning the results.

And by the way, the foreword was written by Farah. I have no doubt that this book was heavily edited by Farah, so it may be more accurate to say Corsi and Farah wrote it.

Can't wait to dig into the rest of this ... thing.

Also, this is from the press release sent out with the book. It deals with the LFBC:

Quote:

In fact, Obama's recent release, after years of stonewalling, of what is purported to be his long-form birth certificate, was a preemptive strike against this book.

The release also claims that "Presidents and candidates have been afraid of Corsi ever since 'Unfit for Command,' coauthored with John O'Neil, thwarted Kerry's presidential ambitions."

Afraid isn't exactly the word I would have used ...

It was in the 160s earlier today, but Amazon currently has the book at #219.

And somewhat aggravatingly, Amazon has yet to ship my copy. Tomorrow, maybe?

Does the economic impact of Obama's releasing his long form birth certificate on Corsi & Joey Farah thru diminished book sales give them "damages" and therefore standing?

Yes, but they would be seeking, through "anti-DISCOVERY,"¹ to have Obama re-conceal his birth certificate.

Book is at 252! =))

Corsi and Farah are not happy. I have been trolling the discussion section of Corsi's book at Amazon. I have noticed that not a single birfer has purchased the book from WND even though I have let them know about its availability. Perhaps they are just waiting for their Amazon copy. I guess I thought they would want the book ASAP since they are making such fools out of themselves over at Amazon!

1 just said that the Bomford FKBC was "more real" than the Hawaiian short or long form! :lol:

I believe Dennis Miller has Corsi on radio May 17. Miller is on in Honolulu during the morning commute. I was irritated to think he was a Corsi supporter until today, when Miller was gagging with laughter about how he has the book propped up next to his copy of the Dewey beats Truman newspaperheadline. :lol:

Here's a clip from a few days ago where his opinion of Corsi is quite clear, starting at 1:15

Corsi is trying hard to sell his book. Showed his hand a bit, too.

Quote:

"He tried to stay above the fray. Now the game begins." says Corsi. "He engaged."

I like this:

Quote:

"It’s going to sell, but it won’t be the hit they thought it would be. It might end up on the bestseller list for a week or two," said Jim Milliot of Publisher’s Weekly. "It will appeal to people who want to read something negative about Obama."

Obama’s birth certificate press conference "cut the legs out from under the book," yet it will still sell about 40,000 copies, Milliot predicted.

Corsi has two months of radio interviews already scheduled around the book’s release, and is confident his view will gain traction. When asked about the fact that fewer Republicans remain suspicious of Obama’s origins since the birth certificate release, Corsi quickly clicks around the web to locate the latest Los Angeles Times poll. And indeed, the number has started to climb again.

"Give it a little time," he says coolly. "It’ll be right back up there."

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/0 ... presi.html

He might be right about that. Even if it's lies, his audience does want to read anything that trashes the President.

I only read through a few pages of the comments. This is my favorite:

Mr. Mario Apuzzo, Esq. is ready to take on any liberal law professor in a public debate. that Obama cannot meet the requirements of a natural born citizen to be president as required by the US Constitution..

Hell, I'd pay cash money to see Mario in a public debate with Ronald Rotunda. I'd sell my house to see Mario debate that Arduini guy (the real one).

I recall posting earlier that birthers have an enormous emotional investment that makes it almost impossible to admit they're wrong. But I have to admit, I like Kathleen O'Brien's manner of saying it better.

Quote:

"The difference between a vampire and a conspiracy theorist is that with a vampire, if you put a stake through its heart, it’s done. With conspiracy theorists, there’s nothing you can do to shut them down," he said. "They have an unwillingness to confront what the consensus of humanity knows to be a fact."

Edit: Correction: The quote was in an article by Kathleen O'Brien but made by Ross Baker, professor of political science at Rutgers University

By the way, has anyone seen any of those lawn signs or bumper stickers the article talks about?

No, they are probably still busy sticking stickers over the 'T" so that it reads "Here's the Birth Certificate? "

Best Amazon review of the book so far:

Quote:

2/5 Stars

Jerome Corsi fails to make the most basic and fundamental conclusion with regard to the birth certificate issue. The Obama campaign previously showed a Certificate of Live Birth, which is used exclusively for births outside of a hospital where no doctor or witnesses are present. In fact, no person who has a Certification of Live Birth can possibly have the hospital generated type as well--because if they were born in a hospital, they never would have had the Certification of Live Birth form in the first place. The Long Form Birth Certificate and Certificate of Live Birth are mutually exclusive. This gives the lie to the Long Form Birth Certificate, reinforcing all of the additional evidence that it is fraudelent. This has been repeatedly pointed out by Joel Skousen in his World Affairs Brief newsletter.

Yep, a 2-star review for the book not being conspiratorial enough.

I'm guessing this is not the kind of press Corsi wants today:

"Pro-White" Radio Host Claims He Helped Jerome Corsi With Birther Story

Quote:

James Edwards writes today that Corsi "personally e-mailed me a few months ago for some assistance on a story closely related to the contents of this book. I was happy to oblige and work behind-the-scenes with both Dr. Corsi and World Net Daily on this matter."

Edwards is the host of the "pro-white" radio program The Political Cesspool. The show's website states: "We represent a philosophy that is pro-White ... We wish to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." The show regularly features a guest roster of "pro-white" figures like David Duke and "neo-Nazi activist April Gaede."

Yep, and they will have to hire somebody to do the same to all those billboards they solicited donations for.

I hope James/jy1977 still reads here because this was the big day he wuz telling us about for months when Corsi's book came out and it would, like, get Obama out of the White House. I have been watching Faux News all day and haven't seen a single story on any frog marching at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. :lol:

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
