First Look at Controversial Obama Book (Corsi's Obama Nation)
Fox/H&C ^ | 8/1/08 | staff

Posted on 08/01/2008 9:01:57 AM PDT by pissant

his is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," July 31, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: HANNITY: A new book due out tomorrow makes shocking allegations about Senator Obama's background, and it may have made his campaign a bit nervous. From Barack and Michelle's 20-year-long relationship with Trinity Church to Obama's family connections to Kenya to his dealings with, well, Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, the author aims to expose what he says is the real Obama.

Joining us now, in an exclusive interview, is the author of "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and The Cult of Personality," Dr. Jerome Corsi is with us.

Welcome back.

DR. JEROME CORSI, AUTHOR, "THE OBAMA NATION": Thank you, Sean.

HANNITY: Four years ago, 2004, you and John O'Neill launched, right here on this show, your first TV interview.

ORSI: That's correct.

HANNITY: Unfit for command, the Swift Boat Vets for Truth.

CORSI: That's right. It was our first television interview and our first radio also was with you in the afternoon.

HANNITY: And I warned you then, and I'm going to warn you now, all these leftists out there, you know, are going to do what they did the last time and attack you for daring to examine his record. You ready?

CORSI: I'm ready. Sean, if they attack me, they're not answering what's in the book. I've been researching this book since 2006. There's over 300 pages, 700 footnotes, and I'll stand by the truth of every statement in this book.

Just finished hearing the extensive interview of Dr. Corsi on the Liddy show. Great researched book. Needs to be promoted.

Does he ask about Obama’s citizenship? Where’s the proof that this guy is qualified to run for highest office in the land? Why has this been hushed up? Give the Americans the proof, one way or another.

Good question. I too am interested in what a qualified researcher has discovered about this subject.

I believe Obama was born in Kenya and was then spirited to Hawaii a few days after his birth and a false birth certificate issued. He probably has triple citizenship: US, Kenya, and Indonesia (from his step-father), and therefore is unqualified to be President on a number of grounds.

Just ordered my copy from Amazon. Will go great with my “The Real Al Gore” by Debra Saunders and “Unfit for Command”, about the other 2 marxist nutballs we’ve managed to keep out of high office the last 8 years (crossing my fingers and praying for a “three-peat”.

HANNITY: You -- you go into Obama's far-left domestic policies, income redistribution, his Global Poverty Act.

CORSI: His support of abortion, even late term.

HANNITY: After a child was born.

CORSI: A child was born...

HANNITY: In Chicago.

CORSI: Obama, in the state senate, wanted the child killed if the mother desired an abortion.

Obama has peaked. The McCain campaign, reinforced by key members of Bush’s reelection team have pummeled him this week. This is just one more nail in the ‘Rat’s coffing!

Dr. Corsi is suppose to be on Mark Levin's show today, I hear.

And for KSFO folks he's suppose be on the morning show Monday.

Probably on Hedgecock's Saturday show?

Dr. Corsi is a regular on George Norry's CoasttoCoastAM where it's common to do three hour interviews -- but very, very uncommon to trash any politician except Bush and Cheney. So I guess we can forget any mention of Dr. Corsi's new book there.

"I would be very surprised if the suggested double entendre is not intentional."

There is no doubt...if you ever get the opportunity to speak with an author at a book signing, ask him how much deliberate effort goes into the selection of a book title. Publishers know that even brilliant writers with a masterful command of their subject matter are not professional marketers, and frequently it's the title and cover that sell a book.

I hope that the acquaintances you mention are unconventional Obamanites in that they are actually interested in the truth and facts....it seems that so many of his flock simply don't care.....and the rest don't know because they only listen to the dinosaur media who will never utter a hurtful truth about The Chosen One.

I hoped Hannity would run this time around. A Hannity/Coulter ticket would have been great. Fox News sported a Rush/Coulter ticket, too good to be true. I guess we need the Battleship— the USS Elrushbo— where it is.

Heck, I would even like a Savage/Levin ticket— now that would be interesting. If it were a Levin/Savage ticket, well that just wouldn’t work. Savage would try to kill him in that case, and it wouldn’t be pretty. I don’t think Savage would win. Then each of them has a dog, so the dogs would participate. Nope, not pretty in the least.

Cool. I’ll wait for your recommendation whether it is worth the $$

From skimming and reading a few sections:

The book's thesis is that Obama was raised by and has always surrounded himself with Leftist radicals, and that is what "Change" means. He's slickly packaged, ala Saul Alinsky, as a centrist for mass consumption. Once elected, he would reveal himself as the radical leftist he is.

Most of the names and dates and events you could get here at FR or elsewhere on the web. But if you'd like to have them in an analogue form for ready reference, it's well worth the cash.

Corsi presents the sort of critique that could be discussed on "Nightline" or "Charlie Rose."

There is no discussion of topics like his birth certificate, his ever being a Muslim, suspected homosexuality or adult drug use. It remains consistently an examination of his political leanings AND his slick efforts to conceal them by him and his handlers like Axelrod.

It's also a good secondary source for people who don't want to read "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

It's well-referenced and well-documented; so it would be easier to use in arguing with a neighbor than saying "I read it on the internet."

Because Corsi was a co-author of "Unfit for Command," hardened Dems will have the ready accusation of "swift-boating" (as a synonym for "lying"). So one may end up having to spend time arguing about his 2004 book before getting around to the content of his 2008 book. But imho that's a small problem. Here the quotes and citations are from Obama himself and his associates -- Corsi is not quoting the hearsay of former associates, whose motives can be questioned.

Corsi’s ‘Obama Nation’ Jumps To Number #1,Widespread
Reports Of Employees Failing To Stock Shelves!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2055311/posts

- - - - - - - -

Jerome Corsi’s expose The Obama Nation jumped to the #1 slot in most book sales charts yeterday during it’s first day of release destroying competition in non-fiction and political book sales.

Scrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, The Obama Nation is the result of that research. By tracing...

...Meanwhile rumours circulated online of readers visiting local bookstores such as Barnes & Noble only to find that the book was no where to be found. In certain stores, Obama supportive employees are apparently...

Meanwhile purchases of Nancy Pelosi’s newest release continued to plummet as she maintains her low, low, low rankings on Amazon and B&N.

I think my response was valid and not delivered in any disrespectful tone ... although yours to me is.

The fact that the image [from the People’s Cube] has not offended anyone else to my knowledge. Muslims are offended by people making cartoon of Mohammed. We reject that. Apparently Buddhists are likewise offended.

What are we to do.

This is America after all. Or am I mistaken?
