SUMMARY: While interviewing Jerome Corsi, author of the recently released book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer cited a Media Matters report detailing what she said were "some eight, nine, 10 pages of factual errors" in the book, and asked Corsi: "[I]f they are finding one, then why do you get credibility for the book?"
On the August 5 edition of MSNBC Live, while interviewing Jerome Corsi, author of the recently released book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, anchor Contessa Brewer cited a Media Matters for America report detailing what she said were "some eight, nine, 10 pages of factual errors" in the book, and asked Corsi: "[I]f they are finding one, then why do you get credibility for the book?" Brewer also said, referring to Media Matters, "[I]f they are going through, and they are finding all of these factual errors in your book, why should we give you the credibility?"
During the interview, Brewer asked Corsi:
BREWER: You say it's a comprehensive look, and yet there are already online bloggers that are going through this book page by page and picking apart what they see as factual errors. Let me give you an example. You say in this book, "Interestingly, Obama did not dedicate Dreams from My Father to his mother or to his father, Barack Sr., or to his Indonesian stepfather," and Media Matters, the online organization, says in his book, he actually says on a -- on the last page of the introduction, "It is to my family, though, my mother, my grandparents, my siblings, stretched across oceans and continents that I owe the deepest gratitude and to whom I dedicated this book." So if they're going through, and they're finding all of these factual errors in your book, why should we give you the credibility?
In response, Corsi claimed, "If you'll read carefully what Media Matters said, they point out there is no dedication page even in the second edition." Corsi later added: "And the original book had no dedication page and this is not the typical way that you dedicate a book. So I'm making the distinction there is no dedication page in the book at all, never has been." In fact, as Brewer and Media Matters noted, Corsi drew no such distinction in Obama Nation; he falsely claimed only that "Obama did not dedicate Dreams from My Father to his mother, or to his father, Barack Senior, or to his Indonesian stepfather" and that also "[m]issing from the dedication are the grandparents who raised him in Hawaii."
Brewer also noted that Media Matters debunked Corsi's false claims that Obama's memoir does not mention his sister's birth and his work as a community organizer at City College of New York.
From the 9 a.m. ET hour of the August 5 edition of MSNBC Live:
BREWER: The man who helped lead the Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry is at it again. You may remember the string of ads and books that attacked the Democrat by questioning the legitimacy of his combat medals. Here is part of that.
[begin video clip]
GEORGE ELLIOT: I served with John Kerry.
AL FRENCH: I served with John Kerry.
ELLIOT: John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam.
FRENCH: He is lying about his record.
[end video clip]
BREWER: Jerome Corsi wrote the bestseller, Unfit for Command, that came out at the same time, and now he's targeting Barack Obama with a new book, The Obama Nation. Jerome Corsi joins me now in the studio. It's good to see you today.
CORSI: Thank you, Contessa.
BREWER: All right, you say in your forward here that your main problem with Barack Obama is his policy positions. But, you know, I was reading the book -- and I'm going through the first good chunk of this book -- is about which house did he live in, in Indonesia. Well, that's not really the house that he seems to remember. Was he really praying at the Islamic prayer when he was a small boy? You don't get to policy issues until the last 100 pages, why not?
CORSI: Well, it's a very thorough examination of Barack Obama's life, his intellectual development, his life experiences, all as they affect policy. I mean, to give you an example. He was a Saul Alinsky organizer in Chicago. That's a very radical methodology that Barack Obama actually taught, and it involves redistribution of wealth, getting power to redistribute wealth. And that continues to be one of Barack Obama's main themes. Look, he wants to take the energy companies, have windfall profits go to thousand-dollar checks to the poor. What company is Barack Obama going to target next for their profits to distribute to the poor?
BREWER: You say it's a comprehensive look, and yet there are already online bloggers that are going through this book page by page and picking apart what they see as factual errors. Let me give you an example. You say in this book, "Interestingly, Obama did not dedicate Dreams from My Father to his mother or to his father, Barack Sr., or to his Indonesian stepfather," and Media Matters, the online organization, says in his book, he actually says on a -- on the last page of the introduction, "It is to my family, though, my mother, my grandparents, my siblings, stretched across oceans and continents that I owe the deepest gratitude and to whom I dedicated this book." So if they're going through, and they're finding all of these factual errors in your book, why should we give you the credibility?
CORSI: Let's discuss that one. If you'll read carefully what Media Matters said, they point out there is no dedication page even in the second edition.
BREWER: But it says right in the introduction that it's dedicated to his family.
CORSI: In the introduction that he wrote after, this was going with the second book. And the original book had no dedication page and this is not the typical way that you dedicate a book. So I'm making the distinction there is no dedication page in the book at all, never has been.
BREWER: Media Matters has some eight, nine, 10 pages of factual errors.
CORSI: And I'd be happy to go through each one of them with you.
BREWER: And we're not going to do that. But I'm saying, if they are finding one, then why do you get credibility for the book?
CORSI: Well, I've already objected to the one they found. I think Media Matters is wrong, and I would argue with every one of them.
BREWER: You are arguing with the way that this is described but they're going through--
CORSI: I would -- I take exception--
BREWER: Obama's sister, Obama in City College of New York.
CORSI: Well, let's go through them one by one. I'd be happy to.
BREWER: Let me ask you, you say that you are not a partisan, that you're not a Democrat or a Republican, that you're not voting for either of the two major party candidates come the election. Is there a book in the works about John McCain?
CORSI: No, I'm not going to write a book about John McCain. I've written many critical articles of John McCain. If you'll research them, I'm a senior staff reporter on WorldNetDaily, and I've been very critical of John McCain for about four years. I also had no book planned against Hillary Clinton. It's the far-leftist Democrats that have been nominated -- John Kerry and now Barack Obama -- that drew my attention.
BREWER: Jerome Corsi, it's good to have you in. Thanks.
CORSI: Thank you very much.
These guys have no credibility. It's all pretense.
Last night on Hannity and Colmes, Colmes tore apart the Freddoso guy who wrote the other hatin' on Obama book. Hannity asked him a softball question and Colmes went after him and used up all the remaining time in the segment so the impression that was left was that the author was not credible.
HANNITY: We love everything that's going on there. You talk about this. You say "he's a shrewd machine-aligned politician from Chicago who will make no waves and won't back no losers."
Then Hannity gave him lots of free time in about 4 paragraphs to spew his talking point about Obama being part of the 'machine'. Like any prominent politician from either party is going to get anywhere without significant cooperation with the 'machine'!
But then Freddoso contradicts himself. First he said "That in many cases, you do see Senator Obama taking a position based on expediency." Then he said "Yes, and, in fact, if you take the time to look at Senator Obama's votes, if you look carefully at his record, you see that he really is a very doctrinaire liberal. He's not swayable in the way that he portrays himself."
So, which is it? Does he blow whichever way the political wind blows, or is he a doctrinaire liberal who isn't swayable?
Then Colmes went after him like an attacker, basically interrupting his lovely smear of Obama with challenging questions about the lies that have been covered about the voting issues. I mentioned this last week. How is it bad for Obama to make sure that voters are following the rules when they're signing petitions? Did he somehow know ahead of time that the signatures were bad? If he knew it, then the politicians trying to run using those signatures should have known it too, and gotten more signatures!
I've linked to a transcript of the event. Colmes got more time then Hannity got! Hannity did go first, but Colmes created the lasting impression for me.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,397761,00.html
Did Colmes really hog the airtime? I almost don't believe it!
Mr. Herbert, I'm listening to Howie Carr [WRKO 680 Boston] and a woman just called in ragging on Colmes for not letting this guy Freddoso get a word in edgewise. Colmes? Ha! Has this guy grown a set of balls since I last tuned in??
Anyway this caller said the book is awesome. A must read. Howie said he hadn't heard of it, but he mentioned Corsi's book. Didn't have much to say about it. And Howie is a Con radio host. Maybe these books aren't going to get much mileage on talk radio?
Let's hope not, Jeter.
BTW speaking of books, I left 3 emails (sorry, multitasking) at the thread from yesterday.
Geez Prince first you threatened me with blackmail, now you're gonna make a few bucks on a book deal off my & Julia's cyber love affair.
You, my friend are a pretty enterprising guy. Slimy, but enterprising ;-)
Keep posting...Then I can have something truthful and on paper to put into my co-author's book. Mr.Corsi isn't sure if we can use facts in any of his books so you should be fine. The slimy comment would fit right in with my re-birth into the Con party. But we Cons revel in SLIME..so slime away.
These rightwing hit-piece books are as inevitable as the unsolicited phone calls we all get from credit card pitches, Carnival cruise, or Branson Missouri vacation packages.
Advocacy advertising. With one major difference: In the above cases, the advertisers don't have to lie, and actually pitch a product that might have some use to American citizens.
I read the Hannity and Colmes transcript. The author of the book made this accusation: "That there isn't anything in his record that you can point to where he stood up, where he took a chance, in order to support the cause of positive change." Hannity, the man who usually bullies his way through interviews responds with a "yes." Now if that had been someone saying that Barak Obama constantly stood for change and took chances in the Illinois Senate and as a U.S. Senator then Hannity would have been all over them with his bullying tactics demanding "specific examples" in Obama's record, but he never asks anyone he agrees with to back up thier statements. This is not a left/right issue with me, it is about these cable shows not providing information to people in honest debate. Everyone of these authors should be held under the light in order to find out just where they got thier information and what methodology they use to write thier books.
Yeah, but this little tidbit stands out:
In response, Corsi claimed, "If you'll read carefully what Media Matters said, they point out there is no dedication page even in the second edition."
This means the SOBs actually read MMFA!
So who cares what they say, it's enough that they know MMFA is on their butt.
"And the original book had no dedication page and this is not the typical way that you dedicate a book. So I'm making the distinction there is no dedication page in the book at all, never has been."
So...what? Obama doesn't use the typical dedication page to express his gratitude towards his family? What is Corsi trying to imply?
That he's reaching for slams and smears?
Though it wasn't as bad as the "Obama isn't even a US citizen" one.
I heard Limbaugh saying that "when liberals can't beat conservatives on substantive issues, they turn to smears"
Either the substantive issues have run out or conservatives have it backwards...
OK, I probably just slammed all of conservatism by naming a few bad examples, but may I express what I observe?
No conservatism has been in the trall on the neocons for 20+ years. They are not the same.
Some conservatives realize this, but their voice has been silienced from the national debate, by a meme that has been able to elect people, but unable to lead a whole nation. Demonization of opponets is along way from leadership.
That Obama is a radical Christian/Muslim terrorist who hates this country and, when elected, will give Iran all our weapons so they can nuke us?
That's where I think all these implications eventually lead.
Obama doesn't use the typical dedication page to express his gratitude towards his family? What is Corsi trying to imply?
He's trying to imply that lack of evidence-- a dedication page-- is proof of the existence of evidence-- lack of a dedication. A typical right-wing stunt, that no evidence equals evidence of something, usually sinister.
It's false, it's a lie, because in light of that rationale, Obama didn't dedicate the book to anybody. Corsi is trying to say that he specifically overlooked his family, when in fact he did not, even.
"And the original book had no dedication page and this is not the typical way that you dedicate a book. So I'm making the distinction there is no dedication page in the book at all, never has been." That was Corsi's response. In his book though, he states "
"And the original book had no dedication ."
Of course that means that he is a radical muslim, leftist Negro, who is unqualified, unready and too tall. Besides his wife is a radical of some kind. Obama should sue this asshole and tie up all his funds in court defending this tripe.
"No, I'm not going to write a book about John McCain. I've written many critical articles of John McCain. If you'll research them, I'm a senior staff reporter on WorldNetDaily, and I've been very critical of John McCain for about four years."
Latest "critical" McCain column by Corsi: March 2, 2008. Criticism: Al Qaeda group backs McCain
McCain secures nomination March 4, 2008.
Translation: "I used to trash McCain, but my guy didn't win the primaries, so I'm focused on trashing Obama now."
That sounds about right to me. What's your point?
What's your point?
We know YOUR point is on top of your head, AA.
Pete,
You take all the fun out of rhetorical questions! :-)
"What's your point?" is now a rhetorical question.
Adjust your brain accordingly.
That's right! Most of these guys hated John McCain and never wanted to see him get the nomination. Now they have to eat their own words and gush all over him (the only good thing about McCain winning the nomination is watching these supplicants squirm and fall all over themselves in order to become McCain's apologists).
Completely forgot about that. Thanks for the refresher.
Don't recall any Clinton supporters trashing Obama. I DO recall some trashing what they perceived as bias against Hillary.
Then again, my memory ain't what it used to be. Yours is obviously sharper, and full of anecdotes which you would love to share...?
Isn't it great that the Dems are getting together to destroy the Con Game going on...Beautiful and absolutey priceless to see these moronic Cons fussing, squirning and crying like babies. Just heard the opening of Seannie the Sissy @3:00pm in Pittsburgh and he sounds like a little baby trying to get Obama to come on his show. Acting as if Obama is a coward to be questioned by this paragon of journalism. Seannie the Sissy, I remember the video of you running from the crowd like the Sissy you are.
And Mr. Corsi, since you read this, I promise you that when I see your book in the half=price store, I will pay the .50 cents and put it to good use. Honest.
Oh, I see. So you DON'T have any examples to share? So, in other words, your comparison is based on a hypothetical "Hillary supporter who bashed Obama".
Sorry. Missed that on first reading.
your comparison is based on a hypothetical "Hillary supporter who bashed Obama"
I did note your reference to you fading memory. Perhaps some med's will help your declining intellect.
Oooo, now that IS an unfortunate time for a typo...
It wasn't until I got a real job...
You mean you finally moved from dishwasher up to busboy. Congrats!
S Souless, Working, are you kidding me? That is for poor people...Retired 8 years ago just before my 50th birthday. Made a fortune during those terrible 90's with that terrible President running the show. The Internet Boom was manna from heaven. So, all I can say to you is good luck in the work force, keep trying and would you add FREEDOM FRIES to that order.
You became a CON to protect your interests. But I guess you won't fight the terrorists to protect them...sort of like Bush.
Ahhh - in COLspeak the world refute means to post meaningless jibberish insults and then run away. Now your posts will begin to make sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Bingo. Dems, When liberals drive by on the MMFA expressway, toss out an insult and keep moving, it's reasoned discourse.....when conservatives do it, it's trolling.
You knew that :)
OOPS - the links didn't make it.

Too bad they made it the second time.
The key word was not "disagreed", it was "trashed". Your three examples include a policy disagreement, and two "oops" statements that in no way trash Obama. Not a single one that comes anywhere NEAR equalling Corsis accusation that McCain is being supported by Al Qaeda.
I guess your definition of "trashed" is not the common one I was using.
"Lanny Davis, Ed Rendell, Terry McCauliff, Geraldine Ferraro (to name a few) are all now holding their noses and cheering Obama. It's typical party politics." Dems_Sol
Fine, you named a few. Yet, none of the names you mentioned are writing books to smear McCain. "A" must always equal "B" in your world.
"[...]what they see as factual errors."
Why is she hedging right out of the gate? A factual error is a factual error. So typical that a so-called journalist can't even commit to a definitive statement about what's true and what isn't. At least she's questioning his credibility, but she's still playing referee between two sides, when one of those sides shouldn't even be on the field.
"[W]hy do you get credibility for the book?"
Because that's what you happens when you put him on national television after he's already proven to you that he's a partisan hack, smear merchant and a liar.
"Jerome Corsi, it's good to have you in. Thanks."
Way to get to the bottom of things, Brewer.
Clams,
What a wasted interview. Just reading the transcripts it looked to me that she cut it short since she hadn't read the book and didn't know what any of the criticisms that were made by MMFA.
In this case she is the embodiment of a "talking head". :-)
"Because that's what you happens when you put him on national television after he's already proven to you that he's a partisan hack, smear merchant and a liar"
Exactly, well said.
Hee hee. Brewer said Media Matters...
And this guys reads it...
Why doesn't Mr. Corsi sign in and answer point by point right here. Mr. Corsi, are you are coward? Just smacked myself across the face, I sound like the Sissy Hannity/
Brewer is nothing more than a lightweight newsreader...hired to fill dead air time in the 24 hour cable news cycle.
When she asked Corsi about the supposed inaccuracies in his Obama book...she new his response before she even asked. Only a numbskull would expect Corsi to flop belly up and proclaim his sins because mmfa reported them to be inaccurate.
Subsequently, when Corsi offered to go over mmfa's claims point by point she deferred. Why? Because she's nothing more than a reader of the teleprompter...and completely inadequate to intelligently address the issues.
If she was anything more than just a bobblehead newsreader she would have been prepared to confront Corsi...point by point...after all she's the one who raised the concerns expressed by mmfa.
A complete waste of time...like most of the cable news segments.
I'm sure there are many theories, including viciously partisan ones, as to why Keith avoids confrontational interviews. I think the most apparent one is that keeping the tone of his show upbeat simply works for him and his temperament. I think he purposely makes his 'Special Comments' infrequent for this reason.
Meanwhile, O'Reilly starts every show with his undies-in-a-twist memo and you never know when that vein on his temple is going to burst when he starts yelling at the top of his lungs like spoiled brat.
"I'm sure there are many theories, including viciously partisan ones, as to why Keith avoids confrontational interviews. I think the most apparent one is that keeping the tone of his show upbeat simply works for him and his temperament"
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Do you write press releases for "Countdown", Pete?
;)
Boy, that's some 'theory' you've got going there. Keep it up.
Oh, since you decided to bring up Olby's canning from ESPN, perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing your brilliant insight on why Jeff Christie got fired from his ESPN gig? So what say you, Dumb_sol, was the druggie hitting on the studio hunks? Did he want to graduate from little boys and take on the men instead? Was he inspired by all those scented candles he has in his five empty houses in Palm Beach?
Actually I think it's because after Kieth [sic] got booted from ESPN he never learned to get along with advasaries [sic]. But I'm just guessing here.
You're also guessing on your spelling, apparently. What became of your college education you were mentioning earlier in the thread?
Poor presentation and poor thought processing go hand in hand.
Shove it, Tommy.
Like I said, simply a theory. I don't think they want theories when they're looking for press releases. A less apparent theory is that Keith could be a pansy full of fear. You think MSNBC wants that for a press release as well?
Your outrage is misplaced Pete, I was kidding you, hence the ;)
Lighten up.....
Then again, perhaps only a few minutes with a teleprompter reader is all that's necesary to expose Corsi for the fraud that he is, which is probably why Brewer summed it up in such a way...
"So if they're going through, and they're finding all of these factual errors in your book, why should we give you the credibility?"
Corsi doesn't even answer the question, of course.
Wes,
Sorry my reply to clams is above yours. I hadn't gotten this far down in the thread yet. Kudos. You definitely beat me to it.
AA,
No problemo...just great minds thinking alike...lol.
No problemo...just great minds thinking alike...
And both of them going "Duhhhhhhh"... :-)
Yes, Wesley is now bi-ignorant.
(Thanks to Jim Hightower, who said when he learned W was learning Spanish, "Good, now he'll be bi-ignorant.")
Perhaps Bush needs to be reminded that Spanish isn't spoken in Italy...
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/10/science/earth/10notebook.html?ref=world
Hightower's the best, no doubt.
I would guess that the conservatives wish they had someone that could do political humor. And if someone suggests Limbaugh, then that just proves the bankruptcy of their position. Humor is the only aspect of the media that the right doesn't dominate, because they simply can't do it.
"And the original book had no dedication page and this is not the typical way that you dedicate a book."
Maybe Barack Obama is not your typical author.
The manner in which you dedicate a book has now become a measurement of a man's character and his fitness for public office.
The manner in which this man is defending his book is pure, pointless lunacy.
One nice softball question for Corsi:
"If you had to sell your book to a non-partisan, for-profit publisher, how many times do you think they'd reject it on the basis of being poorly researched and close to libelous?"
Here's a thought:
Jerome Corsi has shown through the years that all he knows how to do is lie. Lie, lie again, and then lie some more. Why doesn't someone get his Ph.D dissertation and check IT for factual errors and/or plagiarism? Wouldn't it be "just desserts" to see this clown stripped of his precious degree????/
Corsi is part of a vast right wing conspiracy. There may be some "true believers" among them, but they are mostly a cynical lot. They think all politics is corrupt because they are corrupt, and project that all politicians must be that way too. So they justify their lying.
This was yet another softball interview. If NBC had any guts they would have brought up Corsi's disgusting Free Republic posts in addition to kicking his ass on this book thingy. Expose the bastard for what he really is.
Senior staff reporter for WND? Might as well be the head honcho for the National Enquirer...
Is that any different than watching the Clinton supporters who trashed Obama turn and support him now that he has the nomination?
Nope. :-)
BREWER: Media Matters has some eight, nine, 10 pages of factual errors.
CORSI: And I'd be happy to go through each one of them with you.
BREWER: And we're not going to do that. But I'm saying, if they are finding one, then why do you get credibility for the book?
Of course they aren't going to go through every one, because MMs 10 pages is a bunch of B***s***
"Of course they aren't going to go through every one..."
Yes, that makes perfect sense. Conservative misinformer Brewer would hate to take the time to debunk MMFA.
You're just selfish, NoLeft. Other posters might enjoy the experience of making a fool out of you, quit depriving them by doing it yourself.
Just waiting for someone to ask him to show ALL the pictures of the museum in Ho Chi Minh City where Kerry's photo is displayed...along with those of Elmo Zumwalt, Warren Christopher, and Robert McNamara.
See, Corsi perpetrated his lie by posting shots of every other wall in that room of the museum, implying that the entire display was about "heroes of the Vietnam resistance." But he never shows you the actual wall where Kerry's photo hangs. The fact is the wall on which Kerry's photo hangs is dedicated to the restoration of diplomatic relations between VN and the U.S.
http://daily.nysun.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=TllTLzIwMDQvMDgvMTYjQXIwMDEwMA==&Mode=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom
Corsi knew this, and he even had the pictures to prove it ... in fact, he posted the one of McNamara's 1995 meeting with Giap on his original webpage "exposing" the Kerry picture. When he realized his boo boo, he edited it out.
So come on, Jerry...release the pictures !!!
That thing about the "dedication page" is hilarious. Rather than just admit he didn't read the introduction to the book, Corsi makes himself look even more foolish by lying so blatantly.
Lazy AND dishonest. Who woulda thunk?
Who could argue with that?
Ignorance is bliss. I have proof and everything! But first a word from our sponsers.
Hello dear friends, I'm Gerry Firesign for Mr. Yamamoto..of Hollywood.
And for a working man like myself, the price is right.
Yes our triple yearend sale is going on now and my name isn't mine.
Or mine.
Or mine.
Yah see, I don't think you can operate a business like this without satisfaction to the customer.
And there's no suit over thirty dollars!
Now that a major clothing manufacturer has closed its doors on...A sustance know as Identitine Phosphate, crucial to hair growth.
And no display in the warehouse behind the store.
And I wouldn't let my wife drive one after what the president said about Ralph.
And the puppy? I'd like to call him your friend and mine. My dog Storm.
I'm sitting down on the dog now because, I wouldn't want to spoil your movie. Some call it a commercial, but I like to say,"Thanks for the interuption!"
And what ever dog doddie, or porno.. He's not for sale. Thats just our little joke.
I'd like to show pictures of men and women like yourselves!
Sitting
In various poses. On the cars late at night when even Fletcher is gone.
Yes Flethcher must sleep sometime.
I couldn't stand on my head to give you a better deal, So I think I'll just sit down here to rest my back.
There are so many demons that I'm not here intirely.
There are more demons on the lot than a week ago.
They're piling up. We can't get rid of them.
And theres no one to talk too.
Not even this little guy here.
I'd like to call him your friend and mine. My dog Storm Dere Second. He's not for sale.
Everthing else is since arrested Ralph.
Like people in this area.
Men and women!
Like yourselves.
Who thrump and run when the president says,"Sell those demons!"
So I'll just sit down here and wait for them to come and get me. With my dog here. Who I like to call...Stuffed. He's not for sale.
But millions are just like him!
Men and women!
Like yourselves!
Who are making fortunes today. Selling stuffed dogs.
And as the streets become full of demons.
And no fit place for this little fella here.
I'm like to call him Sturm und draug,
But they won't let me.
Now thanks for the interuption and back to your game WallNetty!
In the real world gas is under $120/barrel. Oil executives are in tears everywhere.
