On Saturday, August 28, booksellers Barnes & Noble and Borders will host appearances by Jerome R. Corsi, co-author with John E. O'Neill of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, in the Akron, Ohio, area.
Corsi is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. at Barnes & Noble in the Montrose area and at 3 p.m. at Borders in Jackson Township.
On August 6, Media Matters for America unearthed Corsi's history of bigoted and hateful comments posted to the right-wing website FreeRepublic.com:
-
Corsi on Islam: “a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion”
-
Corsi on Catholicism: “Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press”
-
Corsi on Muslims: “RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together”
-
Corsi on “John F*ing Commie Kerry”: “After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?”
-
Corsi on Senator “FAT HOG” Clinton: “Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?”
On August 20, MMFA sent a letter to Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Wal-Mart, asking them to review their policies with respect to promoting a fraudulent and discredited book.
