Corsi reinvents himself with the 'Iranian Freedom Foundation'
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 09:13 AM by rox63
Argh! Why can't we beat the * administration over the head with this asshole? :banghead:

---snip---

"In 2004, Corsi was jettisoned from appearances with John O'Neill, his co-author of "Unfit for Command," the book that painted Vietnam vet John Kerry as a scoundrel, after the liberal group Media Matters for America traced dozens of messages posted on FreeRepublic.Com. After prodding, Corsi owned up to authorship of the following:

"Islam is a peaceful religion as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels killed."

"Ragheads are boy-bumpers as clearly as they are women-haters _ it all goes together."

"Let's see exactly why it isn't the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion? Where's the proof to the contrary?"

"Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is OK with the pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press."

Corsi was back on the media circuit last week, this time as Jerome Corsi, founder of the Iranian Freedom Foundation and author of the book "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians." KDKA gave him a half-hour Monday night."

---snip---

"In most cases the spectacle of a man who considers Islam "satanic" and "worthless" would provide irony to last the year. But that freedom walk began in the company of Corsi's newest ally, Bijan Sepasy, president of the Iranian Freedom Foundation.""

1. Please, I was having a good day.
This man is the scum of the earth. I am looking forward to the day he moves here, so we can give him a proper welcome.

2. Sorry to ruin your day
This is all part of the run-up to the next war, I'm positive of it.

3. He's just building up his résumé
He's moving to Massachusetts to run against John Kerry in his next election.

4. Oh, please, please, please let this happen
I want Corsi here where he can get what's coming to him. Corsi is a cowardly little bastard who wouldn't last two minutes in the heat of real press coverage in MA. I hope he comes here, I need a good laugh.

5. Link
(snip)

United Press International (UPI) reported on January 25 that Jerome R. Corsi, co-author of the book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (Regnery, 2004), "plans to move to Massachusetts later this year as the first step in his 2008 campaign for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Kerry." But the UPI report failed to mention Corsi's history of posting racist, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Catholic, and anti-Muslim comments on the right-wing online forum FreeRepublic.com, which Media Matters for America revealed on August 6, 2004, and which was widely reported (by The Washington Post, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Associated Press, among others).

6. I saw a BookTV show of Corsi talking about his book & demonizing Iran
several weeks ago. It seems he has become part of the admin's "Iran War" prep team, going around talking about the horrors of Iran, stirring up fear and terror, demonizing Iran and getting the population ready for war with Iran.
