[digg-reddit-me]I write this as a Catholic, disappointed and disheartened by the abuse scandal in the Church. I also write this as a dedicated supporter of Barack Obama.
Jerome Corsi, the author of Obama Nation, the bestselling, bound volume of deliberate and egregious lies about Barack Obama, is apparently an anti-Catholic bigot (also a 9/11 truther, and a serial slanderer of Islam and Judaism). Put aside the fact that much of this supposedly well-researched book has been entirely debunked (with a 40 page rebuttal from the Obama campaign called “Unfit to Publish” here.) Media Matters uncovered a number of Corsi’s postings on freerepublic.com in which Jerome Corsi attacks Catholicism and the Pope.
In 2003, a poster that Media Matters identifies as Corsi wrote:
Maybe while [Pope John Paul II]’s there he can tell the UN what he’s going to do about the sexual crimes committed by “priests” in his “Church” during his tenure. Or, maybe that’s the connection – boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press.
In 2002, Corsi wrote:
So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the laywers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that’s probably about it.
This now makes two anti-Catholic bigots who have prominently provided support for John McCain. Catholics are far from a uniform voting bloc, but as they are traditionally the most significant swing vote voting, you have to wonder how this anti-Catholic bias will affect McCain’s campaign.
If you recall, McCain condemned the Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry in 2004 – attacks based on the book that Jerome Corsi co-wrote. He specifically called “the Bush campaign should specifically condemn the ad.” It’s hard to see any justification McCain could use to justify calling on Bush to condemn the Swift-Boaters while no condemning this piece of trash by Corsi.
This book has been in the news for some weeks now, which reaises the question: Why is McCain taking so long to declare the book off-limits?
This isn’t the campaign that McCain claimed he was going to run. This is not an honorable campaign. This is gutter-politics.

Since the production of this oil contributed mostly to
the medical therapy, the creation of the oil contributed much to the females of the
native Berber group in Morocco to have a steady source of income and good working conditions and was able to build up their
literacy and various education courses. For centuries, Berber female of
this neighborhood have produced argan oil which was used
for their consumption and conventional Moroccan medicine. It may be applied on the hair of men who are suffering from
hair thinning.
In truth it is the best hair product I have ever used and the quality of my hair is simply much improved.
All argan seeds and oils sold on the market have a portion of the profits go to the women of the Moroccan Berber
tribe. It has been used to moisturize skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, prevent stretch marks, correct sun damage,
and generally improve the look and feel of the skin.
