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.

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... What on Earth are you talking about? It isn't all that complicated. Black Liberation Theology is a revolutionary communist ideology which disguises itself as a 'religion'. That's it. Please see my post#8 on this thread.

The term you want for Obama might be “slammunist”. Normally you’d figure that I-slam and communism don’t mix, sort of like oil and water; Obama appears intent on disproving that hypothesis.

My post in reference to an earlier post that talked about Obama being a Muslim and not a Christian. I was not discounting anything you said in your exhaustive and well laid out post. Sorry if I appeared to be disagreeing with you.

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. Black Liberation Theology, and Liberation Theology before it, is about violent revolutionary communism. While Liberation Theology used/uses "class", BLT uses "race" to promote hatred, division and resentment.

I love this
I just laughed out loud.
Do they ever wonder why books with a right-tilt do quite well, while books with a left-tilt will be lucky to move 250,000?

RE: "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 Obamas been washed in the blood."
Amen and Amen

But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian. My review of the Theory of Relativity. "But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. E=MC3."
To: AmericanMade1776
Slightly off topic:
Listening to Laura Ingraham this morning. Earlier she had on conservative columnist John McWhorter who happens to be black. He said he was voting for Obama to rid the country of the fallacy that a Black cannot be elected president, no matter that he disagrees with his platform, proposals, etc. He joins JC Watts, and Condi Rice who have said they are or are likely to vote for Obama. Who’s being racist now?

I'm currently reading Corsi's book and recommend it.
From what I've read thus far,he gives a straight up analysis of Barack Obama (a/k/a Barry Soetoro).

this book is featured everywhere I go! I love seeing it right up front in stacks......and its selling! people want both sides of the story and the msm isnt dissing the dirt on obama, so they look to a tried and true author for the dirt.Unlike Corsi's book about Kerry that was hidden by the bookstores? Glad to see it.
BTW, if the "dirt" is the truth, is it still dirt??

I was not discounting anything you said in your exhaustive and well laid out post. Sorry if I appeared to be disagreeing with you. And I'm sorry for reacting like I did. It's just that I'm a bit frustrated that so much of the truth about Obama is being kept from the public. In fact, even the so-called right-wing media (Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, on and on) never get into the sort of details that were contained in that post (which was removed, btw). In any case, I have the same info, and much more, on my FR Home page:

Again, sorry for the reaction.
