Has Jerry Corsi said things and written things in his life that he regrets?

Wrong thing to say... People who support Corsi don't want him to regret anything he's said or done...they want him, and themselves, to be proud of being ignorant racist goons. Hey, Jerome...White Power!

Posted by wolf kotenberg in reply to IRONY 101

Corsi's job ( or self annointed job ) is to use any method to keep democrats ( and democratic rule ) from the White House, and preserve the erosion of constitutional powers. That is his only purpose in life. That is criminal activity in my book.

Buy an autographed copy or two from WND, the news agency that emplys him full-time.

I love two-fers--not only does this show where Corsi's sales figures come from, it shows that WorldNutDaily is a dedicated white-supremacist organization...

Who do you think the WND thinks committed the 9/11 attacks?  I've got my money on Jews.

I've got my money on Jews.

Exactly...just like they took down the Titanic.   ;>)

No, no, no. Iceberg, not Goldberg...

I think the "-berg" suffix is Jew enough for them!

Nice catch, T-Hone.I've heard theories that the crew were half-Witz drinking out of beer-Steins.

I vehemently disagree with most of what Joseph Farah says, but he's always been courteous to me, so I feel I owe him one.  He is absolutely NOT anti-Jewish.  In fact, on many occasions, he has spoken out or had his columnists speak out against anti-Semitism.  Okay fine, many ultra-conservative Christians want to see the Jews convert to Christianity, but in all the years I've known him (about 12 years), I have never once heard him say anything anti-Jewish.  Our disagreements are often about theology, but more often than not, we disagree on politics-- after all, he's a rightie and I am (gasp) a liberal.  But he too is very displeased with Bush, and has called for Bush to be impeached,  so at least we have that in common!  (Mr Farah, like me, is a big fan of the Constitution, whereas this president is not...)

But, that said, his defence of the Corsi book is disappointing but not surprising for an ultra-rightie web-site.  He's just playing to his base.

The only reason he'll make sales is because reichwingtards will buy it in bulk and in three months we'll see the "buy this, get that free!" ads on the internet.

ha Ha HAHAHAHA! Check amazon.com, 2.3 stars outa 5 and sinking fast. You can pick it up for about halfprice now ... gift wrapped. By black friday, this libro will be libre (er ... gratis)!

I think I will buy one for my sister and myself. My cat needs a place to *** and my sister needs flooring for her birdcage.

Yes I already posted that I have a Texas friend, a former KKK member, who buys 20 copies a week and throws them in the dumpster.  To me, that story tells it all and now they even make that plan known on the Net.  That any reputable publisher would print that swill says far more about the publisher than it does about the habitual liar, Corsi.  It only shows that whoever approved this travesty for publication needs some brains for a change.

Posted by MickD in reply to mari2jj2970

What that Texan does is so sad and cynical. And psychotic in a way with a) the infernal waste of money, 2) the damage to the landfill and 3) the almost desperate, sorrowful attempt to maintain power at any cost to anyone.

Posted by peebs755 in reply to mari2jj2970

Mary Matalin okayed this book. You know, James Carville's wife. She's head of the publisher that printed it.

Posted by laughinglefty

It never ceases to amaze me how thin skinned far right racist bullies like Corsi are. He can dish it out, but can't stand any scrutiny.
So they use the word "lynching" after Corsi appears on the KKK radio show? These wingnuts are the most irony-impaired people I've ever seen.

Posted by straighttalk.tx

That bulldog face Corsi was on this morning on a neo-con right wing talk show in the Dallas market. Both of the clowns - Corsi and that racist Mike Gallagaher, the host - were shooting their mouths no end. What a bunch of no gooders, who consider themselves as the next best thing to God. I would have really liked to have seen both those guys publicly lynched, not in the print media, but physcially tortured. These guys are liars and they have the audacity to sling mud on others. I wish the constitutional right granting freedom of speech could be amended as to allow for such rascals to be banned from the air!!

Cry me a frackin' river.

It's sad.

By now, Corsi expects each and every one of his new york times best sellera to pay the bills (911 conspiracies, swiftest of boaters, NAFTAs NorthAmericanUnions, abominations). What's a harvard phd sposed to do to make a living? Guess ya gotta go dumpsta divin'.

It's sad.

I must salute Joey Farah for being the greatest source of unintentional comedy I know of - the best joke of all being how oblivious Farah is as to what a laughingstock both he and WorldNutDaily are.

By comparison, I consider the National Enquirer to be a paragon of high journalism.

The only kind of Harvard PhD who is reduced to writing stories full time for a smut peddler is one who lost his mind.

Posted by wolf kotenberg in reply to heru

I look at it a little differently as not having lost his mind but lost his moral compass ( traded it for $$$$$$$$$ )

Posted by magnolialover

So folks are lynching Corsi because they're bringing up his fallacies in his book? Well, if Mr. Corsi can't stand his work being scrutinized, and dismembered, maybe he shouldn't print anything.

Posted by Why_Not_Me

Yeah, distribute them to your friends. They won't be your friends for long. Where's your sense of humor, Corsi?

Posted by John the Elder

If that is what Farah wants I would be for giving it to him. I happen to believe that the likes of Corsi should be strung up to the nearest light pole. The Italians solved the problem of Mussolini that way. What was good enough for Mussolini should be...Maybe then it would wake up the rest of this right wing scum and put a stop to the production of this kind of trash. As for Matilin who published this garbage, cut off all access to a microphone anywhere for life.

i have noticed James Carville has not been his jovial best recently.

Posted by eweston8542983 in reply to John the Elder

Due process is an alien concept in neocon world. They convict endlessly without any trial. To convict the way they do means an acceptance of a dangerous part of their world view.

Also O'Really will have someone pick up on it as further evidence that the leftwing is dangerously violent. You want that?

Posted by webprogrammer

This is what bewilders me about why anyone would want to identify with an ideology that's so completely empty, you can hold it to your ear and hear the ocean. When they're through lying about everybody else, they steal from each other. Not only have they killed irony and parody, even the concept of honor among thieves can't survive in such a toxic environment.
CORSI has no moral compass. his motivation is to make sure no DEMOCRAT  is elected president.  The same can be said for JOSEPH FARAH.

Posted by Lorelei in reply to hurricaneyankee52983

Farah has called for his people (on WND) to not vote at all....

 

a strange strategy to say the least. 

Posted by albertsenj

You know, they could really increase sales if they printed Corsi's work on strong, absorbent, 2-ply paper and, instead of just putting it into bookstores, they could put it in almost EVERY store, next to the Charmin.

Then, it would sell 4 (or more ) copies at a time!

Posted by historygeek001

I'm not angry enough at my friends to give it to anybody.

Posted by donkirk_ep1136

Joseph Farah formerly was editor of the now defunct Sacramento Tribune, which was owned by billionaire Pittsburgh publisher Richard Mellon Scaife, founder of the "vast rightwing conspiracy."

 Worldnetdaily is just another facet of this conservative Republican slime machine.
