New Book Exposes “The Obamanation”
by Jeff Davis
A recent news article reports that “Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama hit back Thursday with a 40-page rebuttal to the best-selling book The Obama Nation, arguing the author is a fringe bigot peddling rehashed lies. Jerome Corsi’s anti-Obama book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president. The book is a compilation of all the innuendo and false rumors against Obama — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and secretly has a ‘black rage’ hidden beneath the surface.”
Now wait a second! Wasn’t Obama raised in Indonesia, a Muslim country? Isn’t it likely he was raised with a Muslim upbringing considering that his adopted Indonesian father was a Muslim? Exactly why should we immediately assume this new book is all innuendo, false rumors and bigotry? Could it be because Obama is black and it’s somehow “wrong” to state unpleasant facts about a black politician?
The article goes on: “In fact, Obama is a Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The Obama campaign picked apart the book’s claims in a rebuttal titled ‘Unfit For Publication,’ to be posted on the Obama campaign’s rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com. The title is a play on the book Corsi co-authored against 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s military service called Unfit For Command.”
Exactly how many years was Obama a Muslim versus years he was a Christian? Is it possible that he only started attending Trinity United Church as a political decision so that he would get the support of blacks in Illinois so he could win the Senator race there? And let’s not forget his “pastor” is a black militant racist. The media have decided that “Reverend” Wright is henceforth a “non-person” because Wright’s association with Obama was costing Obama support. (more…)
