    I thought it was telling that right-wing think tanks order books like Corsi's in mass quantities in order to ensure they hit the bestseller lists. It's not that people are necessarily interested in reading such tripe--it's just a tactic to get more play in the media, which sometimes sees bestsellers as newsworthy by virtue of their popularity.

    OK propeller. Let's try again.
    CONS once used direct mailing for their propaganda. Now they've turned to books. OK...I recommend The Wrecking Crew by Thomas Frank.

      Here's a little sampling of Mr. Corsi's more repugnant views.
      Good post Beau. I heard this NPR report this morning.

      What a coincidence. My Son wanted to go to Borders last night so we hung out there for a few hours. I haven't bought a book in years and I bought this book at 40% off. He bought a book written by Obama so he wants to trade them after he finishes readg. There was anohter book The Case Against Obama" but I chose "Obama Nation". There was a book written by McCain, but I figured it would be boring. I look forward to reading Corsi's book because I haven't read or heard anything much about Obama and he seems a bit of an unknown. I see Corsi is a Harvard Ph.D. Impressive, although I don't trust anyone who graduated from Harvard who writes/talks about politics. Usually they are way too liberal.

        I was surprised to read that Corsi is a member of the Constitution party. What's that? From the comments here I think the book should be banned. Sounds like it is completely false. So much for Harvard Ph.D.'s. I will read it tomorrow and see what I think. Is there an unbiased book about Obama's life and background?
