Pardon my obsession, but I'm still stewing about Mary Matalin's characterization of Jerome Corsi's political smear-jobs as "scholarship."
The Times notes that Media Matters has been doing its part to fact-check Corsi's new Obama book. But the organization's site also contains an old but still impressive list of some of Corsi's greatest hits on FreeRepublic.com. (Anyone with newer entries feel free to offer 'em up.)
A sampling of some of Corsi's more piercing insights:
Maybe while he's there [referring to Pope JPII] he can tell the UN what he's going to do about the sexual
crimes committed by "priests" in his "Church" during his tenure. Or, maybe
that's the connection -- boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay
with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press. (03/03/2003)
So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like.
Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the laywers rip the gold off the
Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's
probably about it. (12/16/2002)
Let's see exactly why it isn't the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous
Satanic religion? Where's the proof to the contrary?
Islam is like a virus -- it affects the mind -- maybe even better as an analogy
-- it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects... No doctor would hesitate
to eliminate cancer cells from the body. (11/26/02)
How's this as an analogy -- the Koran is simply the "software" for producing
deviant cancer cell political behavior and violence in human beings. (02/15/2002)
Isn't the Democratic Party the official SODOMIZER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION of
AMERICA -- oh, I forgot, it was just an accident that Clintoon's first act in
office was to promote "gays in the military." RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as
clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together. (11/18/2001)
HELL-ary loves the Arabs so much (kiss, kiss Mrs. Arab*RAT) -- wonder how she
would look in a Burkha? (05/21/2002)
Mullah Ali'Gore-ah is very proud of his new Bin Laden beard and he hopes others
in the Democratic Party will follow his lead. Hell-ary is disappointed she
cannot grow a beard, but her press secretary reminds us she can still enroll in
flight school. (01/07/02)
Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything,
is she? (06/08/2003)
Too bad the plane didn't crash into the TV set of the NBC show "THE LEFT WING"
-- especially when Martin Sheen was "acting." (06/07/2003)
John F*ing Commie Kerry and Commie Ted [Kennedy] discuss their plan to hand
America over to our nation's enemies. (02/04/2004)
Oh, yeah. I'd definitely trust this man's scholarship. No question.
Of course, Matalin's only real concern is to move books. And when you're talking to far-right nutters, nothing sells like name-calling, hateful-stereotyping, red-baiting, and gay-bashing.
