Swiftboater Corsi Deported from Kenya
These people make me so mad!:banghead: I know these are acts of desperation, 'cause they are losing, and yet I can't forgive the fear mongering and smears they manufacture to fool the simple-minded every election year. Some links follow:

Anyway, below are the exploits of this steaming pile of shit Corsi, as reported by the Associated Press.

<snip>
AP NAIROBI, Kenya - The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama as unfit for the presidency was being deported from Kenya on Tuesday, a criminal investigations official said.

Jerome Corsi, who wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was picked up by police Tuesday for not having a work permit, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.

He was briefly detained at immigration headquarters before being brought to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for deportation, said Joseph Mumira, head of criminal investigations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

It was not immediately clear when he would fly out. A message left on Corsi's mobile phone was not returned.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the campaign had no comment.

Corsi had been scheduled to launch his book Tuesday in Kenya, where the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate is wildly popular. Obama's late father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist and the candidate is considered by many Kenyans as a native son. Minibuses are emblazoned with his picture and vendors sell T-shirts bearing his image.

Just a thought. :shrug: :evilgrin:

12. Same here and I found that he lives in a neighboring town
If I've ever seen him, I did not recognize him, which might be for the good as my reaction would likely stun anyone who has known me in any part of my life.

15. Or just blind hatred
I thought from the things written in 2004, that he simply had a bizarre hatred of Kerry that stemmed back from his college years writing a thesis on the antiwar protest movement. This year, he seems to be as much of a pit bull with rabies against Obama. In between, he wrote other books filled with hatred.

I have to admit that when I learned he was from Denville, I studied his face - but I seriously doubt that out on the street I would recognize him.

16. Considering the unrest in Kenya over the past year
His presence could well have been a danger to more than just his own stupid self.

5. I hope Corsi soiled himself
Glad the Kenyans decided Corsi was persona non grata. He certainly is IMO, but I'm in no position to deport him.

8. I hope he comes back with a bad case of malaria
He slips into a coma, and wakes up Jan. 20 just in time to watch Obama's inauguration on TV.

14. So he was in a foreign country without the proper documents? An illegal alien?
Working in a foreign country without a work visa? Hmmm. So he wanted to make a profit from actions in a foreign country without paying taxes to Kenya? Interesting.

What are his views on illegal immigration again? My memory is a bit fuzzy.

:eyes:

Hypocritical jackass.
