Being the target of
a sustained whisper campaign by Karl Rove & Co., in concert with
McSame, Barack
now has pushed back against the latest smear by Kerry smear merchant
Jerome Corsi:
- Here is Obama's response to Corsi's hit piece (full .pdf version)
- Here is Media Matters' response
The supposedly most damaging material in Corsi's smear book is either false or completely distorted, and
it reaches bestseller status through what is known as the "wingnut welfare" effect: the
listing on the NYT bestseller is accompanied by the dagger symbol -- † -- which is described as: "A dagger (†) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders."
Conservative book clubs buy up these books in order to drive them up the lists
in order to drive up media reporting. Forget the free market; capitalism at discount costs!
