To the Editor,

“Obamanation” is an abomination. I have listened to the persistent quoting of Jerome Corsi’s “Obamanation” — a hatchet job done by the author of “Unfit for Command: Swiftboat Veterans Speak out against John Kerry.” I thought it necessary to offer some facts about Barack Obama that are being manipulated by this man.

Mediamatters is a non-partisan group that fact-checks written and news items and offers resources to verify their findings. Mediamatters has found so many inaccuracies with Corsi’s book that I can’t write them all in a short letter. I will focus on Corsi’s inaccuracies regarding Obama and the military.

Corsi falsely claims that Obama seeks to decrease the size of the military. In fact, during the Democratic primary, Obama repeatedly asserted that he would “increase our ground forces by 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 Marines. Obama also stated, “Increasing our end strength will help units retrain and re-equip properly between deployments and decrease the strain on military families.”

Discussing Obama’s “antiwar ... foreign policy,” Corsi conflates Iraq and Afghanistan to falsely suggest that Obama supports “de-escalating troops from Afghanistan. But Obama’s January 2007 bill — the Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007 — establishes a timetable for the withdrawal of most troops from Iraq, and calls for “appropriate units of the Armed Forces” to be redeployed to Afghanistan and elsewhere in the region, as well as “elsewhere, to meet urgent United States security needs.” Obama has been calling for an increase of U.S. troops in Afghanistan since at least 2006 and has specifically proposed the addition of at least two combat brigades since 2007.

This obvious smear of Sen. Obama has been given a lot of footing by the mainstream media. Please do your own research before quoting Corsi. His track record shows him to be a character assassin of the worst degree.

You really said a lot in just a few paragraphs to debunk the most obnoxious of Corsi's claims. You got some pretty good responses, too, along with a spattering of the usual right wing tripe. I hope you continue to put your stuff out there.

Good for you. It is truly sad that a person like Corsi gets any serious attention paid to him, and that more people do not recognize him for the lying bastard that he truly is.

Everyone can come on and make their own jokes.

Your letters, though, they're your own.

Well done!
