FactCheck.org: Corsi's Dull Hatchet

Despite its place near the top of The New York Times' nonfiction bestseller list, where it has been riding high for the past six weeks, Jerome Corsi's "The Obama Nation" is not a reliable source of facts about Obama.

Corsi cites opinion columns and unsourced, anonymous blogs as if they were evidence of factual claims. Where he does cite legitimate news sources, he frequently distorts the facts. In some cases, Corsi simply ignores readily accessible information when it conflicts with his arguments.


That sounds awfully familiar. But the most interesting fact is this:

Corsi is a renowned conspiracy theorist who says that George Bush is attempting to create a North American Union (we looked at that here) and that there is evidence that the World Trade Center may have collapsed because it was seeded with explosives.

Funny that the same people who believe this book will dismiss (rightly) the claims of 9/11 being a set-up... both of which come from the same person.

Profiting off of lies? Naah, that's your team's game. Besides ignoring "readily accessible information when it conflicts with his arguments" sounds quite Right-like... creationist, even.

The plane was put on eBay! (but didn't sell and was sold for much less)

We didn't support the bridge to nowhere! (except when our veep was running for governor)

Bam is the most liberal senator! (if you only count one year with a large swatch of missed votes)

Bam is a Muslim! (but he attends a Christian church)

He wants to change the national anthem! (nevermind that was a satire article made by our guys)

Evolution is false! (but don't look at a century and a half of evidence)

See what I mean?

You mean the thing Palin finally admitted was man made?

PolitiFact | Earlier, she didn't "attribute it to being man-made"

@Sabz5150,
Based on estimates by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree. Estimates prepared by the World Meteorological Organization and the Climatic Research Unit concluded that 2005 was the second warmest year, behind 1998.
