Fox To Help Promote Corsi's Birther Book

April 22, 2011 11:19 am ET by Ben Dimiero

WorldNetDaily, which Alex Pareene appropriately dubbed the "biggest, dumbest wingnut site on the Web," has been cashing in on birther nonsense for several years now. If you head to their online "Superstore" you'll find everything you need to advertise your detachment from reality, including "Where's the Birth Certificate?" bumper stickers for your car, signs for your yard, t-shirts, and more.

Their latest - and probably biggest - cash grab is noted liar Jerome Corsi's upcoming book, Where's The Birth Certificate? (Answer: in Hawaii.) Jerome Corsi is a discredited clown who has been embarrassing himself for years over the birther "issue," including going on Fox & Friends before the '08 election and accusing the administration of posting a "fake" certificate online that, according to a "good analysis of it on the internet" had "been shown to have watermarks from Photoshop." He also suggested to G. Gordon Liddy in 2008 that Obama was visiting Hawaii not just to be with his then-dying grandmother, but to also do... something... relating to his birth certificate.

Nevertheless, Corsi's book, published by WND, hit #1 on Amazon's bestseller list this week, thanks in no small part to prominent promotion from Drudge (and a variety of conservative sites like Fox Nation and Glenn Beck's The Blaze).

Continuing Fox News' full embrace of birtherism, WND CEO Joseph Farah will reportedly appear on David Asman's program on the Fox Business Network tonight to "talk birth certificate" and discuss Corsi's upcoming book. This should be a friendly place for Farah to promote Corsi's book, considering Asman's recent assertion that before he declares Obama was born in the U.S., he wants to "see all the evidence."

During an interview on Bill Cunningham's radio show last month, Farah claimed to talk to Fox's lead birther Sean Hannity "every day." Farah also suggested that he had been blacklisted by Fox over birtherism: "I was on Fox regularly before this... the minute we started on this campaign, the minute we started putting billboards up across this country, it stopped."

Looks like the ban has been lifted.

Probably..As FOX continues to program as they are out there only to be "anti Obama", the lose any credibility they might have had at one time...As for Corsi's book...it is so full of lies that even calling it fiction is an insult to great works of fiction....

OH,I didn't know you had read Corsi's new book. Can I have your copy of it now that you are thru with it???

(Plus: Please don't tell me that you are one of those Obotski who review books without reading them. I hope Dr. Ken Nerdwater has not infected all you Obotski at Dr. C's.)

I did not read the book...I read the excerpts and they were filled with lies...So I doubt that the rest of the book would somehow be filled with truth...But prove me wrong...Read the book and tell us where Corsi gets it right...

Fox has to replace Glenn Beck, Corsi is essentially "auditioning" for the slot as he pimps his "book" on the network

I've already heard the tales of the Birfer. Same story - different speaker.

Aggression, fear, and disgust.

"Aggression, fear, and disgust. "

??

Trepidation. then Aggression. Then Rage. THEN Disgust.

It's the T.A.R.D. theory.

In other words, you been hanging out with the Obotski and you got infected. I suggest you get a penicillin shot before it develops into full blown STD (Which means Sanctimonious Twit Disorder).

A lot of the Obots at Obotski Central got infected which either means they were drinking out of the same glass of Kool-Aid behind each other, or maybe they weren't wiping the bow ties and Nikes down well enough before swapping clothes.

As I have stated before, my background is in food safety. Ergo, I have a science background. Ergo, my POV comes from real scientific data.

Ergo, I don't believe the world is only a few thousand years old, but rather, hundreds of millions years old, and I appreciate the study by scientist who studied the conservative and liberal brains - and by golly, if reading thru the threads doesn't show the science as being true.

No infection, merely scientific insight.

You have deluded yourself. Passing judgment on a book you have not read is not REAL science. It might, however, pass for Global Climate Warming Science??? Have you though about changing over to the Global Warming stuff where that kind of stuff seems to pass muster??? You could go far!!!

...as I have stated, I know the tired Birfer story. It always has the same ending.
I don't jump off cliffs because I know I would get hurt. No science involved there. No science required to know the same old, tired, Birfer story.

Obviously, there are many citizens anxious to read Jerome Corsi's new book, WHERE'S THE CERTIFICATE? It has already shot to first place on the New York Times best sellers list and it's not due out until the end of May...

Those same citizens are going to be disappointed again next November.

FOX is so predictible that they can't help it...They would promote a theory that the President is an alien from Krypton if they thought it would hurt him...

Squeeky, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox has a restraining order on you. You have become a wellknown birther-stalker lol.

Keep in mind, Fox loves you because you are working hard to bring down Pres Obama but they want you to keep a little more distance.

Fox has become more of a right wing entertainment network and continues to move away from real news. Now if they engaged in real news, they would lose a large % of their viewership who are not interested in news but "right wing truth as they believe it".

"Loyal" American,

Don't lie, there's a good chap, here's the link to the NY list and qu'elle suprise, no sign of this piece of crap anywhere

http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/overview.html

In FACT (something the FRight Wing has at best a passing acquaintance with) there's NOTHING in the NY Times when you search for "where's the certificate" or "wheres the birth certificate".

Try a little better with the lies.
