In 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically…

The really dangerous people are the ones who will try to do exactly that with a spear and tank.

To the extent I believe the 911 Truthers are absolutely and completely wrong, the fact that Corsi believes in them makes me doubt his reliability. The same holds true for his attack on the Pope, which is at odds with everything else I’ve ever heard about the man. History may show Corsi to be right on both points, but I doubt it. That means that, to my mind, Corsi’s credibility and judgment are suspect. I have to review independently everything he asserts.

What’s so funny with the AP story, though, is that it managed to take the few things Corsi asserts that are known truths, and to fashion lies around them. It seems to me that Corsi is a much easier target. To attack the Muslim story (which is true), and to attack the angry black Church meme (which is true) is just so stupid. It’s like hurling a spear at tank, instantly of planting an explosive underneath it.

But I fail to understand why you feel the need to slime (or pass along other’s slime of) Jerome Corsi. What do his “creepy” thoughts have to do with the truthfulness of his book? To me this way of thinking is waaay creepier: he has doubts about the attacks on 9/11, therefore his reporting on BHO must be false.
