Anti-Kerry Book Scribe Sorry for Slurs

[kskiska]

WASHINGTON - One of the authors of a new anti-John Kerry (news - web sites) book frequently posted comments on a conservative Web site describing Muslims and Catholics as pedophiles and Pope John Paul (news - web sites) II as senile.

But as he prepared to launch the book, "Unfit for Command," Jerry Corsi apologized for the remarks in an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, saying they were meant as a joke and he never intended to offend anyone.

In chat room entry last year on freerepublic.com, Corsi writes: "Islam is a peaceful religion — just as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed."

(snip)

Corsi, who described himself as a "devout Catholic," said the comments are being taken out of context. "I considered them a joke," said Corsi, who owns a financial services company and has written extensively on the anti-war movement.

1. Yeah--he's a real laugh riot. . .

his claims about Kerry are down right hysterical. Well let me say that I'm not kidding when I say I hope the "devout Catholic" gets to Heaven and finds out God doesn't have much of a sense of humor about LIARS.

[alfredo]

4. Or that God is a Muslim

Hmmm. Would God, during times of self doubt, see himself as an atheist?

[MARALE]

59. ROFL!

I found that really funny! Tickled my unusual funny bone! Thanks!

[xray s]

2. nice to see the creatures under the rocks at freerepublic exposed

[RobertSeattle]

3. "I consider them a joke"

What a jerk. Yet another "adult" Republican who takes respondibility for his actions and his words.

[displacedtexan]

5. Like Scarlett O'Hara, he's not sorry he did it...

He's just sorry he got caught.

[Inland]

6. Who would have thought

A guy spreading lies about an American combat vet's service for partisan purposes would be some sort of disgusting pig. Huh.

[displacedtexan]

7. My favorite quote from the article...

"I don't stand by any of those comments and I apologize if they offended anybody," Corsi said.

[kskiska]

8. Ooooooh, there are some unhappy campers over there

To: Thanatos

How in the hell did they know Jerry Corsi was a Freeper? Did he use his real name as his Freeper name?

9. Gee, Thanatos (Ooh! Scary Freeper name!):

Could it be that some people know how to do opposition research, while others remain dumbasses?

New headline - Anti-Kerry author sorry he got caught.

[Insomnicole]

25. Excellent!

That is one of the funniest threads I've seen yet on FR. Watch the poor little piggies squeal! They can't decide if they wanna be anti-PC badasses who don't care what people think about them, or whiny little babies who think it's not faaaaaair that someone figured out who Corsi was over there. ROTFL!

[prolesunited]

28. That thread is hysterical!

To: MediaMole


Yep........they hit Corsi first ....and hit us with the bank shot.....we will be called a racist ....hate site next.

34. Say...Free Republic...

Isn't that a racist hate site?
John
Sure, they may be idiots -- but at least one of them is downright prophetic.

[Democat]

53. I wonder if this comedian knows any "jokes" about Jewish people?

Or maybe blacks?

All just jokes, of course!

[K8-EEE]

56. BWAAAA Ha Ha!! Freeps Freak!!! Here's My Fave....

This whole thing just about made my day! LOL!! Oh the Holier-Than-Thou Freeper "Christians" and their loving musings. Here's a good one! WWJD?

"I have a Muslim friend who tells me 'boy rape' is common in Muslim countries. Something to do with the fact that there's no access to women whatsoever.
And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know Catholic churches became safe places for pedophiles. Churches offer great settings, plenty of access to children, and an atmosphere of trust. Also, it pays better than being camp counselor, school teacher or social worker. Maybe the jokes on the people who can't see the obvious.

And for those of you who don't think I'm "tolerant", I want you to know that I'm tolerant of those who believe in this country, tolerant of those who believe in the right to bear arms, and tolerant of those who feel the war is a good idea. Think about it."

YEAH>>>>THINK ABOUT IT! WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!

[Must_B_Free]

57. WAR: A great idea!

ROTFL!

[Seldona]

61. Look at this one.

"Wow. Maybe histories should be deletable..."

That is Free Republic, and the Republcian party.

Unreal!

[callous taoboy]

10. So THAT's who my right-wing brothers

have been talking to. My brothers, once peace-loving, witty, thoughtful, long-haired hippy super freaks now speak in eggs-ackley these terms. I have half a mind to disown them. WTF is wrong with these people who speak with such boorishness?

[stevedeshazer]

11. Gee, he's really backed off his original comments

What a surprise.

In case you missed them, his comments:

• 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?"

[My Pet Goat]

14. Channeling Corsi:

Hey that was all just a big joke, except for my book. :eyes:

[hatrack]

50. Totally off the subject, but I am kicking myself as I type, My Pet Goat

I am kicking myself for not coming up with the user name YOU picked - how could I BE so blind?!?!? :yourock:

[noiretextatique]

12. "I don't stand by any of those comments and I apologize..."

:puke: who would read anything this coward writes?

[David Zephyr]

18. Amazing.

Unbelievable! And a big hello to you Noiretblu.

[noiretextatique]

58. HI there!

:hi: hope all is well with you and yours, DZ.

[bluestateguy]

13. I'm sure he is sorry...

that he got caught.

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. The guy who wrote the book is a freeper?

Has in an active and participating member of Free Republic?

ROFLMAO. Oh, this is good. Let the world see what these frauds really are.

[sally343434]

16. More projection

> In chat room entry last year on freerepublic.com, Corsi
> writes: "Islam is a peaceful religion — just as long as the women
> are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed."

Another case of right-wing projection. What he says would seem to more accurately describe the catholic church.

[MisterP]

22. He also wrote:

"So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the lawyers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's probably about it."
He's as anti-Catholic as he is anti-Muslim

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

40. Hrm....2 "boy buggering" references.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

"Dr. Freud, line one."

[MisterP]

17. guess it DOES work to "squeal on the heel"

Media Matters for America broke it wide open

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

23. Mediamatters DID NOT BREAK IT OPEN!!!

The original, groundbreaking and far more detailed and juicy work was done by the worthy and brave souls at Bartcop's Forums. MM was hit with a cluestick about their work.

All props to The Bartcoppers. They are the heros in this. No one else comes close.

[prolesunited]

27. Did they post this on the forum?

Or was it more clandestine? Props to them, indeed. They have a really great crew over there.

[MisterP]

37. awright, awright, they get the final credit

is "MM" Michael Moore or Media Matters, by the way?

[Democat]

52. Media Matters got it out to the public, which is just about as important

We can post about things all day on message boards, but we need groups like Media Matters to get that information out to the mainstream right wing press.

[LTR]

60. Yep, the guys at Bartcop blew it open last week

And Tandaylayo_Scheisskopf brought it over here.

Posted it on Media Matters' blog and Kerry's message board. Even sent a link to Drudge, but he jumped on the story almost a week late.

The rest, as they say, is history.

19. UNFIT TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR.

Here's hoping the Democrats will force-feed the biography of this world-class bigot onto the American public.

[SoCalDem]

20. Well..lots of "newbies" will be discovering FR.. An enlightening

experience to be sure.. I wonder if JimRob has told them to be on their best behavior... Their little racist rants might not go over well with some new people:)

[Insomnicole]

21. Hell yeah, Kerry campaign!

"President Bush (news - web sites) should immediately condemn this sleazy book written by a virulent anti-Catholic bigot. It says something about the smear campaign against John Kerry that it has stooped to enlist a hatemonger," said campaign spokesman Chad Clanton.

Right on! If Kerry's supposed to apologize for Whoopi, I damn well better hear some calls for Bush to apologize for this racist, bigoted swine. Glad to see Team Kerry on the offense here.

And I am SO GLAD to see this repugnant turd's real self exposed in the media. I gave that article a 5 rating.

[David Zephyr]

24. The Civil Union of John O'Neill and Jerry Corsi

John O'Neill's name should never, ever be uttered here or anywhere else by any of us without the immediate mention of Jerry Corsi--his writing partner.

John O'Neill, already described as Nixon's "fix" in the famous Watergate Tapes, now has forevermore sullied his name and reputation by partnering with a World Class Bigot like Jerry Corsi.

John O'Neill has smudged the honor of all men and women who serve in the Armed Forces by partnering with Corsi.

What does this say to the American Catholics who have died in battle as U.S. soldiers for our country? To those who are in harm's way this very day?

What does this say to the American Muslims who have died in battle as U.S. soldiers for our country? To those who are in harm's way this very day?

[CBHagman]

26. Has anyone told convert Robert Novak about this person?

Novak (may his name be ever cursed, and may his treacherous butt wind up in court) wrote a really disingenuous column yesterday about how seriously he took the book "Unfit for Command." He bent over backwards to suggest that the John O'Neill was anything but a GOP shill and claimed that O'Neill would have supported John Edwards for president.

(Yeah, Bob, I believe you...)

Anyway, since Novak is a convert to Catholicism, I wonder how he'll react to the story of O'Neill's LOVELY co-author, who turns out to be an anti-Semite, a boor, a bigmouth who wants us to believe he never wanted to offend anybody.

Uh, how does make snotty comments about the junior senator from New York prove that Corsi never wanted to offend anyone? Could it be -- I don't know -- that in addition to being a lout, Corsi is a liar, too?

Does anybody have Novak's e-mail address? I think old Bob needs a little message now. Don't you?

[truthisfreedom]

30. man, looking over freeperville is scary. the links are frightening...

look at this one.

[0rganism]

31. Since when has "I was joking" been an excuse for talking shit?

There's a trucker up on charges for joking about a "burning bush".

Corsi is just going to have to take responsibility for his own bigoted assholery.

[progressivebydesign]

32. Kudos to Yahoo for running the story.. BUT..

did they HAVE to run the photo of the Pope eyeballing the little boy, along with the story. After that piece of shit Corsi said that The Pope was senile, and mentioned boy buggering.. it just made my skin crawl.

I'm glad the truth is coming out about that hateful bastard. I hope he goes down in flames.

(Greek mythology) the Greek personification of death; son of Nyx
http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn2.0?stage=1&word=thanatos

To Thanatos?: perfect freerepublic screen name for someone who is a supporter of the Bu$h administration and the republican party.

Corsi is lying racist republican that is the co-author of a book full of deliberate lies.

A joke? That is what a child would say to an adult when caught. The man and his book are now full on discredited; and freerepublic really is a hate site where racist hate/war mongers can openly express their sociologically diseased opinions.

[ET Awful]

35. What's nice is that as this story spreads. . .

people will look at FR and see how whacked they ALL are. It's going to make all conservatives look like shit.

I'll just sit here and giggle while it happens :).

[NeoConsSuck]

36. JerryCorsi.com is not registered...

just in case anyone wants to have a little *fun*.

[AmandaRuth]

38. why is this guy obsessed with

sex with young boys?? scary scary scary.

[David Zephyr]

39. Show Yahoo Appreciation for Running the Story. Give It a 5 Rating.

Do it now.

45. Only 3.21 with 428 voters. What would those poor excuses for human

beings on Free Republic do if someone described the pResident like that?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

41. And we consider Corsi a joke.

I've been reading some of the FR thread. Hate speech = "hyperbolic language." LOL

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

42. I wonder if the tone of Corsi's posts will change. Or whether his profile

and account there will continue to exist at all.

[Geo55]

47. Maybe not ,

but that's what's great about the 'net....when the slugs crawl out from under their rotted compost piles...they leave 'lectronic slime trails....lolol

[mumon]

43. the context?

I put the context of one of the comments here.

<Joe Pesci>Does his comments make you laugh like he's a clown? Do you think he's funny? No, Corsi, you tell me, just what the f*ck do you think is funny? <laughter> We had you, Corsi, I'm worried that you'll fold under questioning.</Joe Pesci>

46. He's a vile and disgusting human being.

George Bush is lucky to have him as a supporter.

[gulliver]

49. Bush supporter.

Bush did not repudiate the anti-Kerry ads. Bush is going to get some fleas from Corsi, I think.

An anti-Catholic bigot is behind the most recent attack against Kerry. Amazing.

[Democat]

48. He says he does not stand by "any " of the comments - including the book?

What a loser.

The guy has no credibility and the book has none either.

[Gman]

51. Behold Corsi's ass for everyone to see

take a good look, America.

[enki23]

54. more republican values, as demonstrated by republican actions

.

[yellowcanine]

55. Uh-What "context" would have made the "joke" ok? Comments

do get taken out of context. But there are some comments for which no "context" makes it ok to say it. The Swift boat anti Kerry campaign is imploding. I am sure more interesting facts will continue to ooze out as more daylight hits this crowd.
