Anyone have the lowdown how Corsi dodged the draft during Vietnam?

[blm]

Did he have a boil on his ass like Rush Limbaugh?

Did he smear himself with feces and let it harden for days before he walked into the draft center like Ted Nugent?

Did he defer five times for 'other priorities' like Dick Cheney?

Did he have a daddy who let him sneak out of his National Guard duties because of persistent alcohol and cocaine abuse like George Bush?

Anyone know how Corsi chose to dodge the draft?

1. eczema deferment

seriously.

2. not even the heartbreak of psoriasis?

4. It was hereditary eczema

He was itchy! That can be annoying, you know. He might have been too uncomfortable to serve his country. Who knows if you could get a tube of Lanacane in Vietnam, what with a war going on and all.

3. If a man volunteered for duty he'd be rejected if he had eczema? Or a boil on his ass?

Was that REALLY the standard back then? Or was it only Republican draftees who could get out of it with these incredibly minor health matters?

5. wtf is an eczema deferement?

seriously?

snip:

the Obama Campaign has put out a response to the Corsi birdcage liner, calling Corsi what he is, a 'discredited fringe bigot'. ..

For example, I didn't know that even though he attacked John Kerry's decorated service in Vietnam, Corsi skipped out with an eczema deferment. I wasn't even aware that itching would exempt one from serving his country. All a person really had to do to get out of serving in Vietnam was show up with a tube of Lanacane? I'll bet that really chapped Limbaugh's backside...

I also didn't know that Mr. Corsi trashed Pope JPII, one of my all time favorite Popes. Now that might just cause John McCain a little problem, given his association with Catholic-hater Hagee and now refusing to condemn the writings of a guy who called the Pope a senile pedophile enabler. Whadda ya say, Mr. Straight Talk? Any comment on the Catholic basher, or are you just going to let it slide like you did with Hagee? You can always give it a wink and a nod like you did with the Phil Gramm on-again, off-again, now on-again relationship and hope people forget when you flip in a couple weeks.

8. Vietnam, hell!

I was wondering how that walking corpse dodged the draft during the Civil War.
