Sinclair Broadcast Group peddled discredited anti-Kerry author
Corsi's new book

http://mediamatters.org/items/200502090007

    inclair Broadcast Group vice president Mark Hyman devoted the February 8 edition of "The Point" to promoting a forthcoming book by Jerome R. Corsi, the discredited co-author of the anti-John Kerry book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (Regnery, 2004). Hyman touted Corsi, whom he identified as a "New York Times number one best selling author," and his new book, Atomic Iran: How The Terrorist Regime Bought The Bomb And American Politicians (WND Books, March 2005), but Hyman did not mention Corsi's history of racist, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Catholic and anti-Muslim comments, which Media Matters for America first exposed and which has been widely reported (by The Washington Post, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Associated Press, among others).

    <snip>

    On "The Point," Hyman claimed that Atomic Iran is "painstakingly researched and documented" and that "Corsi asserts that regime supporters were active in the 2004 Presidential campaign, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars." Corsi has previously suggested that Kerry's position on Iran was motivated by bribery, a claim that Media Matters has debunked. The web version of "The Point" also contained a link to Amazon.com's listing of Corsi's book, where it is available for pre-order.


    Corsi is a columnist for conservative news website WorldNetDaily.com, and Atomic Iran is published by WND Books, WorldNetDaily.com's publishing division. Corsi's columns have had such titles as "John Kerry and the politics of betrayal," "Iran -- John Kerry's next Vietnam?" and "John Kerry's Irangate?" On January 25, the Boston Herald reported that Corsi planned to move to Massachusetts "so he can challenge Kerry for his Senate seat in 2008."

1. Ugh
Isn't there a libel suit that can be brought against this character? Or is that just what he wants?
:nuke:

2. Yup, that's what he wants
And this bastard went to Harvard?

Did you see Kerry on MTP? When Russert asked him if he would sign the Release form to get all his Med Records out in public. Kerry had the perfectly legitimate response that he wants all the SBVT liars to sign similar releases. Kerry knows these guys have incidents in their service records and he wants those stories out there. That would be sweet. Something like this should happen (and will if that numbnuts ever runs in MA) for Corsi.

Ante up boys, let's see who's got the stones for a real game, shall we.

3. That sounds great.
Of course Corsi would turn chicken if actually called out. Still, though. It'd be great to see him torn to pieces and tossed into the garbage where he belongs.

4. Who's left for this guy to like?
"Corsi's history of racist, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Catholic and anti-Muslim comments," add to that anti-Semitism (boy he must have a ball hating on French-speaking, Jewish-Catholic, gay-friendly, Kerry).

What the fuck is wrong with him? Iran is going to be Dubya's next Vietnam , if we aren't careful, don't blame his idiocy on Kerry. Irangate? Puhleeze, that was Poppy's scandal.

5. This Bastard Is A Total Joke
All the dumbass does is prove to those that may have been fence sitters about different issues of Kerry that these fools are so desperate that they will stoop to any level to try to smear a war hero. And people are wising up to these fools. I go around to different websites and have seen that for myself. So I say let them make a total ass out of themselves they are sinking and are such iliterate dumdasses they don't even have enough sense to realize it.

All of this will eventually blow up in their face. :nuke: There are websites staying on top of this issue. And trust me people are ready to fight these bastards and sink them for good. So while you see the dumbass cheerleaders trust me these bastards are going to need a hell of a lot more than cheerleaders to help save their ass before all this is finished. And they can say veterans all they want because it is real veterans that plan to bring their ass down.

And I still hope and pray this sick bastard goes to Massachusetts to run. Oh how I hope and pray because not only what you here from people here that live their but check around the internet this bastard is mince meat and that is putting it nicely. And all this is coming straight from the Massholes they are begging for him to just do it they say "Bring It On!" we here it here from Tay Tay and whometense but I'm telling their are thousands just like them. And damn at the people who are saying if he does they will personally take time out to go to Massachusetts to work on the campaign against this bastard. I'm telling you this bastard will wish he never heard the name Kerry and Massachusetts before all this is over.

I watched Staffers tonight. LOVED it! So thanks for the tip. I had no idea how hilarious Marvin is. No wonder Kerry likes having him around.

7. Marvin Is Wild
I laughed at him so much. Him and Kerry make a great team thats for sure. Marvin needs to lay off off the Micky-D's LOL. He is going to have to get like the boss man and start eating whoppers instead he may not have to work himself as hard by running around so much. Marvin is great. He is another one that you can't help but form a bond with once you really get to know him.
