Jerome Corsi is the victim, says FOX

[ccharles000]

I had equipment failure Friday so totally missed FOX and Friends, but RawStory caught this little gem: "Fox suggests swiftboat author being swiftboated himself." Aawww, is the smear merchant being called out publicly this time? Compare and contrast this defense with the attacks on Scott McClellan, Richard Clarke, and Paul O'Neill, and get back to me on that fairandbalanced thing.

One note: in the video Steve Doocy states that the book is number one on the NYTimes bestseller list with a "dagger," which (per Doocy) means "The New York Times is saying book, Obama Nation, is being bought in bulk by a bunch of conservatives." Corsi says that's not true, "the sales are all retail sales." But per the NYT website, "A dagger (+) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders."

It's a propaganda twofer: Doocy is misstating the Times policy and falsely ascribing an accusation to them, and he and Corsi give an incorrect impression that the sales are all individual. The sales may indeed be retail, but the customers are buying in bulk, per the stores' own reporting to the New York Times. Corsi can't cherry-pick which portions of the retailers' reporting he wants to believe - it's got to be all or nothing.

1. We actually DO have a saying in Tennessee:

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!"

(Please take note, GWB - that's how it actually goes).

The only ones believing his pack of lies this time are the ones who WANT to be fooled.

2. Of course his book is being bought in bulk, just so they can claim it is #1 "best seller"

otherwise no one would ever believe his tripe sells. Buying in bulk gives the appearance and therefore the illusion that Corsi is a best seller author. It makes it appear to be selling off the racks.

With the economy in the tank, I think most people couldn't afford his trashy book. Most people are struggling to buy food, gas and clothes for their children to attend school this fall.

I'm almost certain Amazon bought bulk copies.

Amazon: List Price: $28.00 .........Price: $15.40 Details..............You Save: $12.60 (45%)

3. Boo-FUCKING-Hoo. All this is, is them proving that they can dish it out but can't take it.

They invariably fall back on that old default WAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAA! UNFAIR!!! WE'RE the victims! WE'RE the victims! MOMMMMMMMMMY!!!

It's frickin' BULLSHIT. They always plead poverty. ALWAYS the first to cry foul over any affront, real OR imagined (and the VAST majority of them are imagined). phil gramm was correct about THEM, anyway. THEY are the "nation of whiners."
