Book attacking Obama makes the bestseller list
Los Angeles Times ^ | August 12, 2008 | Kate Linthicum

Right-wing author Jerome Corsi hit it big in 2004 with a book attacking John F. Kerry.

"Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" soared to No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Now Corsi has done it again -- taking aim at a different Democratic presidential candidate.

Corsi's latest, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," will top the Aug. 17 New York Times hard-cover nonfiction bestseller list.

The book lashes out at Barack Obama and alleges, among other things, that the politician has a secret radical Islamic agenda.

But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian.

Obama is a cynical atheist that used a racist Church as a political stepping stone.

I bought the Unfit to Command book by Jerome R. Corsi, never read it, I will probably buy the new book too ..Obama Nation, and never read it. There isn’t anything that Corsi can tell me, that I don’t already know about Obama.

Well..
Now...

They often call me “Barry,”
But my real name is MISTER SCHMOOZE.
My plans are kind of scary,
Yet they love me on nightly news.

James Cone, leader of the Black Liberation Theology and Mentor to Jeremiah Wright:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

I would get the CD tapes then give it to someone else. The CDs make going to work enjoyable. I don’t have time to read anything about this man. I’ll do it passively.

Just because he says he is a Christian does not make it so any more than him living in a garage makes him a car.

re: Obama is a Christian.

The Bible is pretty clear in telling us that a Christian will be know by his fruits, the fruits of the Spirit. I have never seen any of these traits in Barrack Obama. When he speaks I hear words that claim he is Christian, but I see none of the fruits of the Spirit that would identify him as one. Regardless of his personality I would think it would be impossible for him to spend as much time as he does on the tube and not at least one or two of the fruits be clearly seen.

One of the beliefs of the Muslim is that they can take on whatever appearance they choose in order to further the cause of Islam. He would be perfectly comfortable to stand there as a Muslim and profess to be a Christian, or a bull frog for that matter, if in his heart he felt it was necessary to further his religion.

In the end it really doesn't matter if I see evidence of the fruits of the Holy Spirit in him or not. Whether or not he is a Christian is not my call to make. It's a personal matter between him and God. When it's all said and done it be Barrack Obama that will stand before the judgment throne and answer for his life on Earth. And it's between him and Jesus as to whether or not Jesus will step forward and assure His Father that Obama’s been washed in the blood.

I agree, that is why my statement was directed at Black Liberation Theology, which proclaims the white man is evil and loving God means participating in the destruction of the white man. It is really radical stuff and Obama's church is the leading Church of this movement.

If Obama is a Christian, Jesus is a Pagan.

this book is featured everywhere I go! I love seeing it right up front in stacks......and it’s selling! people want both sides of the story and the msm isn’t dissing the dirt on obama, so they look to a tried and true author for the dirt.

If he hasn’t been baptized he isn’t Christian now matter what he professes or actually believes.
I don’t think he has a particular Islamist agenda, but his far left views and radical backers will certainly help others that wish to destroy America.

I wish they'd stop trying to push this lie. Obama is a black liberationist.

I realized that was your meaning. I had just been wanting to speak out about the lack of any signs that this man is a Christian other than his claims.

Even without the violence I would not be able to embrace Islam. I want the Blessed Assurance, as the great old song calls it, that I am going to spend eternity with my Lord. My understanding of Islam is that you never really know, until you die, if you are saved or not. I love the passage in 1st John where he says that he is reporting on things he saw and hear with his own eyes and ears. And the part where Paul tells us that we are to ignore even an ANGEL that appears to you and brings news that is not in keeping with the Gospel of Christ.

Amen!
