Please submit your unbiased opinion.

1. My opinion on this POS is certainly not unbiased.

[Da Fusa]

2. shouldn't a person read the book first, maybe look at the foot notes

research them BEFORE giving an opinion on it?
It would be better to ignore this trash, the more hype the more people become interested in it.

[itsrobert]

3. Good reply; but we all know

That ignoring the right wing propaganda doesn't work. You have to fight fire with fire. Haven't you paid attention tp the last two Presendential elections?

[Da Fusa]

7. true, I didn't think of that. I just see all the attention given to the book

as a driver of public interest.

[BlueJazz]

4. I read the Book.....Typical Reich-Wing Lies thru and thru...

I wrote a scathing review and gave it 1 star.

[Da Fusa]

8. that's what I hear. It's sourced to bloggers and nuts

that's why I have no interest

[jtrockville]

20. I think he sources HIMSELF too

[Jazzgirl]

9. With Corsi, there is nothing to research.

His reputation for obfuscation, lies, and bullshit precedes him. There is no reason to waste time.

[Orsino]

10. I wonder what percentage of those reviews were based on actually reading the damned book?

Any?

[madmusic]

11. No, this is the Perfect Storm to expose the echo chamber

Tear it down once and for all by boycotting the lying echo chamber.

14. Corsi didn't do any research before writing his book.

Why should we? Especially when he's been on every damned RW radio & tv show spreading his lies.

[stanwyck]

16. Considering Corsi couldn't even get the year Obama

got married correct, I can't really buy the "meticulously researched" comments. And a fifth grader wouldn't be able to turn in a term paper where he/she footnotes as references...himself, as Corsi does. Corsi's sources are...Corsi.
His publisher is sending in reviews. People don't actually read books written by he likes of Corsi or Coulter.
They're bulk buys. Their sales are manufactured.
Feel sorry for the people who lap up this stuff.

17. Here, read my posting:

Why would anyone buy this book?Corsi's smear of John Kerry was completely debunked. Obama has a 42-page rebuttal debunking this book. Corsi has been proven to be a liar time after time. Why would you waste your money on anything he writes?

Does that answer your question? :hi:

5. Editorial Reviews:

From the PUBLISHER at http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?ean=9781416598060&tabname=custreview&crvAll=1&crvStart=1&displayonly=CRV#cr6

"In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about:

• Obama’s extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father and step-father’s Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations withformer Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn—associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press

• the background and techniques of the Obama campaign’s cult of personality, including the derivation of the words “hope” and change”

Meticulously researched and documented, THE OBAMA NATION is the definitive source for information on why and how Barack Obama must be defeated—not by invective and general attacks, but by detailed arguments that are well-researched and fact-based."

Far more at link.

6. How much do you wanna bet that at least some of those reviews are planted

by paid minions of Corsi or Matalin?

[BrotherBuzz]

12. That's a sucker bet

Even a blind pig can see that a miserable game of astroturfing is being played here. They have gone to the bench and are pulling out all the stops; all this for a nice GOP tea cozy or a GWB beer cooler made in China.

[ColbertWatcher]

19. Everything the GOP does is "planted"

The book itself is a plant.

The commentators on TV are plants.

All in service to The Party.

And I didn't even mention the fact that Corsi buggers goats.

It must be a fact. He's never denied it.

18. Don't forget Amazon.com

252 5-star reviews and 456 1-star: and it still gets 2 1/2 stars? Something's terribly wrong. Post your review and don't forget to flag other reviews as "helpful".
