<snip>
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?"

1. Those sound like some good things to put on a few signs

to hold up outside the store when he's making his appearance.

2. Better yet, go to the store and confront his pasty white ass...

...you've railed at the poodles on cable TV 'cause they never ask the right questions - here's your chance to get a few in yourself.

Take a bunch of local DUers down there and let him have it! :thumbsup:

4. I like that idea.

Bring a friend. Sit seperately.

Get him during Q & A.

7. Yeah this sounds like the better idea.

I'd jump at the chance to be able to confront this guy.

13. Bring a camera

if you go.

16. Take flyers with his words and hand them to all the press.

Take a HUGE sign with Corsi's statements.

5. I love the way you guys think.....

Time to show up and ask the real questions to these idiots. I hope everyone local to these stores will be there and ask those questions. Don't get violent, just ask the questions as politely as possible. Watch the idiots squirm.

6. Done. n/t

9. Dont ya think they will be screening....

Just like they do at the Bushfests? Gee, isnt it funny that Kerry doesnt have to screen people, and then give them a list of approved questions? Someone should be asking these guys the hard questions.

8. Still worth letters

BN and Borders should be apprised of who they are allowing to speak on their property. I'm sure there are more appearances planned.

10. I emailed both of them

"Shame on you for giving a forum to this proven racist and proven liar". Stuff like that. I'm sure I'll make a difference...
:kick:

12. my email to bn

"I am a steady customer of your stores.
To say that I am disappointed that you are using one of these stores to promote the proven lies and divisive behavior of Mr. Corsi IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. If you do allow him to hold this shameful display in one of your stores, you can rest assured that I will never buy another book from Barnes and Noble"
