Back in 2004……

So I went to the bookstore and bought Jerome Corsi’s book “The Obama Nation”. After reading some of it I came to this conclusion: it was misleading, but believable. The reason why I named this post “Back in 2004…” is because the same thing will happen. Like in 2004, Corsi wrote a misleading but believable book about John Kerry, and Kerry gave a very minimal response. Obama has minimally responded and will probably not do the thing he should do, put out millions of dollars worth of ads slamming Corsi so the American people should know what a lie the “Obama Nation” is. By the looks of this book, it looks like Corsi wrote this book in 2 weeks, because it is just a ‘copy paste’ of a bunch of right wing blogs. As a commenter on BN.COM said “this book is an assault on our intelligence” because Corsi so many times uses himself as the source! Media Matters for America proved many of the dates that Corsi mentioned, could not have been true since Obama was someplace else.

Since the Obama campaign will not fight this, I believe it is up to the people that don’t want to see John McCain become president. Yesterday the New York Times reported on a website called syasme.tv.

Here is a segment from the article.

“The business plan works like this: Saysme.tv offers a service over the Internet that streamlines the submission process for homemade television advertising and offers cheap slices of cable-TV time — perhaps as little as $6 for a 25-second spot, assuming you are O.K. with appearing on CNN Headline News sometime next week in parts of Charlotte, N.C., in the wee hours.

The hope is to get commissions from the legions of small-time commentators, political bloggers and local advertisers, who may have as strong opinions as T. Boone Pickens on renewable energy, but do not have his millions to bombard the public with them. Instead, the dream goes, there would be millions of individual commentators placing ads a few at time, market by market, either by uploading their own ads YouTube style or choosing from those already hosted at the site. Let the buckshot bombardment begin.” (End Quote)

If Obama supporters all over the country made sure Corsi’s lies were retaliated with their own ads. We may win this election. We do not want to be back in 2004.
