On FreeRepublic.com, Corsi has, among other things, said that "ragheads" are "boy buggers"; referred to "John F*ing Kerry"; called Senator Hillary Clinton a "Fat Hog"; referred to her daughter as "Chubby Chelsie" Clinton; referred to Janet Reno as "Janet Rhino"; called Katie Couric "Little Katie Communist"; suggested Kerry was "practicing Judaism"; and expressed the wish that a small plane that had crashed into a building in Los Angeles had instead crashed into the set of NBC'S The West Wing, thereby killing actor Martin Sheen.Hopefully, the media will give the author's background as much attention as they have his book.
Of course, you won't hear the Bush administration coming out to condemn the book. No, they'll be quiet about it, ostensibly staying above the fray while hoping the nasty little book does its work for them. White House spokesman Scott McClellan has already come out to say, "We have not and we will not question Sen. Kerry's service in Vietnam." But he noticeably refused to condemn the book explicitly. Yep, that's this administration's typical modus operandi.
At least, John McCain has come decency. He blasted the ad related to the book. And one of the vets, George Elliot, has now come forward to retract his earlier statement that Kerry didn't deserve his medals. He says he felt pressured to sign an affidavit to that effect at the time and now regrets it. Well, good for him for being honest, but he ought to ashamed of himself for being so willing to lie about Kerry to ruin his career.
These vets are welcome to vote against Kerry; they're just not welcome to fabricate reasons to vote against him. I hope more of their lies are exposed. And soon.
