Never Again! Not the Holocaust. We're talking about the MSM's determination not to let Barack Obama be "Swiftboated." In successive segments today, CNN provided a perfect example of the phenomenon. First, a one-sided trashing of Obama Nation, the anti-Barack book by Jerome Corsi, who co-authored Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. In the succeeding segment, anchor Suzanne Malveaux worried out loud to Paul Begala that Barack Obama might not be responding fast enough to attacks against him, thereby "falling into the same trap as John Kerry."
Introducing the first segment, Situation Room anchor Malveaux didn't hesitate to make unequivocal claims as to the Corsi book's inaccuracy.
SUZANNE MALVEAUX: There's a new book out about Barack Obama, and it is not flattering. The facts are mixed with accusations about Obama that are misleading or just flat-out wrong. Yet despite all of this, there is concern that author's claims might catch on with some voters. Our CNN's Jessica Yellin joining me now, and Jessica, the author even admits that there is an agenda here behind this book.

That's what I was thinking as the Media Matters guy was talking about they are only interested in the truth. What did MM have to say about the Mc Clellan book.
“anchor Suzanne Malveaux worried out loud to Paul Begala that Barack Obama might not be responding fast enough to attacks against him, thereby “falling into the same trap as John Kerry.”
A modern myth. Kerry responded fast and the best he could, putting the disabled fellow at Bush’s Crawford Ranch. Kerry successfully obscured for the pliant media left that he was not going to open up his records.
I thought the republican strategist they had on after the 9:30 break was pretty good. She smoked that Ed Schultz guy they had on there opposite of her.
Wouldn’t it be something if Obama chooses Kerry for his running mate? Great twofer opportunity!
He did say that he talked to "the Obama campaign" and that they are going to respond forcefully to Corsi's book.
(Just a few of the consprazoid books touted by the entire MSM)

Please substantiate this Suzanne.
She sure did. Ed Schultz is an idiot.
What? Corsi’s not getting the Scott McClellan treatment? Making the media rounds, endless interviews and air time? I’ll be dipped in chocolate!
Lets hope so.
Within the past week, I've seen Corsi on Fox and Friends twice now and it should be noted that Bob Bechel, Democratic stategist, also appeared with Corsi both times, rebutting statements that Corsi presented in his book.
That, at least, seems a bit more "fair and balanced" than CNN's "concern."
I understand this book is also fantastic, and is No 5. on the NYT bestseller list.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Barack-Obama-Unexamined/dp/1596985666
The great danger of this year’s election is that the far left media will succeed in convincing America that Obamalangaidingdong is their salvation from the evils of democracy. If that proves to be true, and the Office of the President as well as both houses of Congress are firmly seated in the hands of these leftwing wackos, then we are truly doomed. Doomed, I say.
However, if the American public figures this out and gives them their due, despite our side fielding a much flawed candidate, then the left can be dealt a fatal blow. Odd that a man like McCain could prove to be the salvation of both the Nation and the Conservative movement, but that’s the way its shaking out. The downside of all of this is that McCain falls short. The implications are too dire to contemplate.
Bump to the book.
AHH Swiftboating- exposing the truth for all the country to see. Now why would a new organizatin be against that? *sarcasim*
