Senator Barack Obama has launched a full broadside against a best-selling book that attacks him as a Muslim-educated radical Leftist filled with "black rage".
In a 41-page document entitled "Unfit for Publication", the Obama campaign rebuts Jerome Corsi's Obama Nation (a play on "abomination") almost point by point. Its faux book cover carries quotations from Time magazine branding the book, which has shot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list, as "trash" and "poisonous crap".
The title of the Obama rebuttal is an allusion to Unfit for Command, the book co-written by Corsi that damaged the 2004 Democratic nominee and Vietnam veteran John Kerry by portraying him as a liar and a coward.
Branding Corsi as a "bigoted fringe author" who is peddling "rehashed lies", the Obama campaign lists the numerous factual inaccuracies in the book.
"His is just one of what will likely be many more lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle, which are cobbled together from debunked Internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda," said Tommy Vietor, a campaign spokesman. "We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal."

By talking about it Obama is only adding to the books credibility....as it is true, it got under his skins...
Where there is smoke there is fire. I haven’t seen this much smoke in a long time.
Obama is unfit for command!...No need to report for duty, Commander Dufus!....
But he's doing it anyway.
Can you imagine the kind of poker he'd play with the likes of Vladimir Putin?
“trash” and “poisonous crap”.....?
Obama needs a timeout.
When leftists deny something, their buddies in the media happily present it as "listing facts."
When a Republican attempts the same thing, it's merely a "claim."
Marxist propaganda, one word at a time.
The absolute worst thing Obama could do is even acknowledge the existence of Corsi’s book.
Exactly!....the fool Obama will help sell the book!
This clown will probably respond to every editorial cartoon and column written about him if he becomes president.
Exactly....it’s always fun when the truth comes out. Let Obama disprove every item in the book. Haven’t read it yet but I hear it’s a good one. A little conspiracy theory here..........Why is the democratic party letting Hillary be on the ballot for the convention? I believe that it will come out that Obama is not an American citizen and when it is proven, Hillary will already be on the ballet and no other primarys will be needed. How’s that for an active imagination? I still want to see proof that Obama is a citizen. Wouldn’t it just be wonderful if we found out later that we were took for a bunch of fools?
I’m shocked he could tear himself away from another photo op in Hawaii to commment at all.
I heard it was front page on the newspapers and lead story for the hawaii broadcast news yesterday that Obama was seening eating a shaved ice cone.
“This clown will probably respond to every editorial cartoon and column written about him if he becomes president.”.....
Sounds familar to a bunch of Muslims about a cartoon doesn’t it?
“trash” and “poisonous crap”.
Do you suppose that this is equivalent to Edwards’ “tabloid trash”? Seems like the book hit a nerve! That’s gonna leave a mark...
Playing the race card.
Gratuitous, public profanity.
In his own words: “Typical”
FGS, Obama talks about how meaningful it was to him when he read Malcolm X’s comment about wanting to expunge all of the white blood within him (his mother was half white).
That (and a whole lot of other stuff) sounds like an angry black man to me.
The truth hurts. Even if there are some errors in Corsi’s book, it’s still gonna help take down Obama, and that’s what counts. Plus, it’s gonna make Corsi and Mary Matlin a lot of money, though I’m sure that isn’t his main reason for writing it.
I don’t know who their adviser was on this, but they should have ignored it. This is the exact opposite of what they should do. If it is false, it will fall of it’s own deceit. By doing this they make it seem at least partially factual..........
I bought 20 copies of the Kerry book and spread them around .It was a small part that I played but every little bit helped keep Kerry out of the White House.
