On Saturday, August 28, booksellers Barnes & Noble and Borders will host appearances by Jerome R. Corsi, co-author with John E. O'Neill of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, in the Akron, Ohio, area.

Corsi is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. at Barnes & Noble in the Montrose area and at 3 p.m. at Borders in Jackson Township.

On August 6, Media Matters for America unearthed Corsi's history of bigoted and hateful comments posted to the right-wing website FreeRepublic.com:

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?"

On August 20, MMFA sent a letter to Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Wal-Mart, asking them to review their policies with respect to promoting a fraudulent and discredited book.

Make your voice heard and become part of the fight to stop conservative misinformation. Contact Borders and Barnes & Noble and urge them to reconsider hosting Jerome Corsi.

1. Can people keep this bumped at least till it'd be too late for would-be

protestors from the area to see it?

Thanks. Every vote counts in Ohio.

2. I hope Ohio Duers turn out in droves with signs that display their

comments. Borders and Barnes and Noble deserve plenty of bad press for this!

Does Ohio indymedia know this is going down?
