'Unfit for Command' coauthor eyes Senate run against Kerry

An architect of the swift boat campaign that contributed to the derailment of John F. Kerry's presidential bid has created an exploratory committee for a run for the senator's seat in 2008.

The move, by Jerome R. Corsi, a 59-year-old author from Denville, N.J., who co-wrote the antiKerry book ''Unfit for Command," was his first formal step toward challenging the four-term junior senator from Massachusetts.

1. Will this will be a very close race

Will the people of Massachusetts run this bum outta town on a rail or at the end of thousands of pitchforks?

[bonito]

18. Hopefully after he spends all his money there. n/t

[Rufus T. Firefly]

24. Is tarring and feathering still in vogue?

Treat him like they did back in the olden days.

[BlueIris]

25. Snerk.

That's what I'm asking.

[tridim]

2. Ahh.. another lying sack of crap running as a Republican

Par for the course. Good luck asshole.

[jasmeel]

3. Are you fucking kidding me? If I were John Kerry I would be so

pissed at this asshole!

[emulatorloo]

4. ''If I have no backing, it may not work," he said.

well,




DUH!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Well as * said,"Bring it on"

I'm sure the voters of Massachussetts would not take too kindly to a carpet bagger from Joisey.

[Arkana]

6. Well, dig out the tar and the feathers

cause that's how Jerry Corsi will leave MA--looking like the chicken he is.

[TrueAmerican]

7. Is this the same Jerome Corsi who posted racist comments on Free Republic?

I think it is.

10. some choice Corsi quotes at MediaMatters

http://mediamatters.org/items/200408060010

<snip>

While much has been written about the identity and history of John E. O'Neill -- one of the authors of the forthcoming Regnery book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (whose links in the GOP go back to his days as "protégé of Nixon-era dirty trickster Charles Colson") -- little has been said about his co-author, Jerome R. Corsi, PhD.

• 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?"

12. Thanks

I beat you by a couple seconds. See below. ;)

[liberalpragmatist]

16. What's he a PhD in?

Most PhD's I know don't talk like that.

Of course, there are bigots in every segment of society.

[emulatorloo]

17. poly sci, harvard. . .

at least per media matters (link in my post above):

,snip

Corsi received his PhD in political science from Harvard University in 1972; his dissertation was titled Prior Restraint, Prior Punishment, and Political Dissent; a Moral and Legal Evaluation. Previously, he co-authored a report on the 1967 riots in Cleveland, titled "Shoot-out in Cleveland: Black Militants and the Police," published in 1968 by the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence.

8. Crosi's screeds against the Pope will make him popular..

There are quite a few Catholics in Massachussetts.

:sarcasm:

[TrueAmerican]

9. Here is some quotes:

• 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"

11. you beat me by a minute

see my post 10 above

:toast:

[ET Awful]

I wonder how his anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, and anti-everything not

right-wing evangelical christofascist will play when made very public.

Making anti-Catholic statements is a guaranteed way to lose lots of votes in Massachusetts.

[mistertrickster]

13. Let them pour millions into the race. Kerry got more votes for president

than any other challenger has ever gotten.

Corsi, what a douchebag!

[unblock]

14. this is just an opportunity to get more airtime for their smears

there's no one who they can run against him who would actually win.

but this way, they make it more of a national story and so they get more airplay for their lies. which will generally hurt democrats and help republicans.

:grr:

[TrueAmerican]

15. And sells his book

sickening

[BlueIris]

26. Yep. Thanks, unblock.

My head is exploding just thinking about that.

[moobu2]

19. He just say’s this to get under Kerry’s skin.

He has some sort of fixation... he’s not stupid enough to actually do it.

[NewInNewJ.]

20. I agree, but

I will spend as much as I can afford and work in anyway I can to bring this idiot to his Knees. He is crap.

[Cerridwen]

21. 'swift boat' him now before he can raise any money

check his harvard transcripts - check his writings towards his degrees - check his military service or lack thereof and

publish all this in lttes all across Massachusetts.

cut him off at the knees.

[patrioticliberal]

22. he was never in the military

the article says so itself

he cowrote the book with John O Neil

[globalvillage]

23. What's the greatest margin ever for a Senate win?

I wonder. If this hack is actually stupid enough to attempt a run against Sen Kerry, it will be one for the record books. Looks like he's insulted at least half the voters in MA already.
I think this is just an attempt to resurrect the swiftboat liars, though, trying to preempt an '08 presidential run.
Corsi would never challenge Kerry or anyone else in MA. He would be laughed (or chased)out of the state.
What a jackass.

[BlueIris]

27. Hee.

Okay, yeah, in terms of how the actual vote would go down, well, for Kerry supporters and Mass Dems it would probably be pretty gosh darn entertaining.

[NYC Liberal]

28. HAHAHAHAHAHA...I really hope he runs!

Think Alan Keyes...then double the margin of victory for Obama.

The LAST time he was reelected, in 2002, he won 80% to 18%. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[SoCalDemGrrl]

29. Corsi is a slimebag

[ribrepin]

30. Does this asshole have any connection with Massachusetts

How will the people of Massachusetts feel about a carpetbagging smear magician running for office? What nerve to go to a state you don't live in and run for office especially when you've smeared the guy before. I only hope the people of Massachusetts run this guy out on a rail.

Do you think the republican governor will be embarrassed?

[fujiyama]

31. This is a meanningless publicity stunt

The dude will get his ass whhuped by a similar margin as Pirro against Hillary...likely even more...

though Id like to see an obama sized margin of victoory, thatd be cool.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. This race will make LBJ/Goldwater look like a clincher.

[freethought]

33. Mass voters aren't going to fall for this,

Personally, I think this guy is just blowing hot air. This jerk actually expects to move to Mass. and win a Senate seat in three years?
Not likely!! He has made some rather "disparaging" comments about Catholics. That will go down really well, in a state that is full of them!!
