Open letter to Jerome Corsi: Swift Boat Scuttler for the... "Truth"
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 02:50 PM by enki23
Mr Corsi,

So you've been "outed," in a sense. Your vicious, partisan comments recorded over the last several years on a right wing internet forum establish a fairly solid motive for character assassination. That doesn't mean much in itself, of course. Few would confuse your book with an attempt at objective reporting, and truly, I don't think even you would pretend very seriously that it was. But anyway, we're used to these things.

So the comments aren't really surprising. Yes they're nasty, and they're partisan. They attack the daughter of a former president with preschool witticisms like "Chubby Chelsea." They label her mother a "FAT HOG." They imply the Pope is in leage with "the liberal media" to cover up both Catholic and Islamic "boy buggery." Basically, they're puerile, nasty, sickening, and wrong. But if that's all they were, they wouldn't go far. Everybody says things in the heat of a partisan moment they wouldn't want to see published next to their name.

But Mr Corsi, the truly damaging thing about your Free Republic comments is that they just so... lame. At least, that's what the twelve-year-olds would call them these days. They're silly, laughably infantile. Childish. Lame, Mr Corsi, truly lame. Now imagine how they look coming from a Harvard educated "political scientist." Imagine "Harvard PhD has choice words for HELLary Clinton, TeRAHsa Heinz Kerry, Ragheads, BJ Bill, and others." Beautiful. You are a credit to your alma mater, I'm sure.

And Harvard's esteem keeps on dropping.

And then it gets better. Then you try to salvage the situation by pretending they were "jokes." Mr Corsi, that only makes things worse. Now, clearly they weren't "jokes" in any meaningful sense of the word. Most of us, Harvard education or no, can see that. But let's pretend they are, for a moment. Let's pretend they're really, really, stupid jokes. Mr Corsi, you live in a nation where most twelve-year-olds are more sophisticated than this. You don't just look partisan, you silly man. You look like an ass. And *that,* Mr Freeper, is a beautiful thing.

Mr Corsi, you *are* an ass. A puerile, partisan, silly, silly ass.

Very Sincerely,
Rev.Enki

1. 'Cause if there's one thing the liberal media does. . .
. . . it's cover up sex abuse cases within the Catholic Church. . . ?

*brain liquifies*
