That is, besides the assholes at WingNutDaily...
Oh yeah. George Nutty at Coast To Coast AM, the pure bullshit show.
WorldNetDaily's Jerome Corsi despises Barack Obama so much that he has shown no reluctance to plunging into the sleaziest sewers of Obama derangement. He started moving this direction last year by darkly hinting that Obama is secretly gay. Now, Corsi has taken the full plunge at WND by trying to rehabilitate Larry Sinclair.
If you'll recall, in 2008 WND enthusiastically embraced Sinclair's tale that he once did drugs and had sex with Obama, despite the facts that no corroborating evidence was presented to back up his claims and WND itself made no effort whatsoever to check him out. WND quietly backed away from Sinclair after he failed lie-detector tests, he turned out to be a convicted crimina,l and he held a press conference one observer called "the single most stupefying event on any single day, what with the diversity of inanity on display from coast to coast in an election year," complete with a kilt-wearing attorney who justified his wardrobe decision by discussing the size of his "male genitalia."
But never mind all that -- Corsi needs more excuses to hate Obama, and Sinclair will serve just nicely.
In an April 24 WND article, Corsi writes that a libel case was dismissed against Sinclair by a man who claimed Sinclair ruined him by claiming in a book that Obama adviser David Axelrod had agreed to pay the man $750,000 to rig the results of Sinclair's polygraph test. Corsi makes sure to put inhis lead paragraph that Sinclair has made the "sensational charge that he had sex and used drugs with the future president," but it's not until the final paragraph of his 27-paragraph article that Corsi mentions that Sinclair has a "criminal past."

Come on, WND and all your friends... Corsi, Paul Craig Roberts and Max Kaiser are Infowars favorites. We know you.

People who liked what 'Coast to Coast' used to be, i.e., largely non-political and entertaining, should let Noory and his producers know that the reactionary, rightwing direction of the show is not appreciated.
Having on the nation's chief 'birther bigot' as a guest makes C2C and Noory an ally of racism, hatred and divisiveness.
When I listened more regularly before getting disgusted at the rightward lurch of C2C, I noticed that Noory often used World Nut Daily as a 'news' source at the beginning of the show and obviously as a resource for booking guests.
And ... I just checked and Corsi and WND are headlining another old lie about Barack Obama actually being the son of Frank Marshall Davis and not Barack Obama, Sr. It is a very ugly and hate-filled lie --- this guy Corsi is just about as slimy as a human being can be. His presence on any talk radio program for whatever reason ought to be protested and resisted by decent Americans.

(62,444 posts)If the poll numbers look bad for Romney in late September, Hannity will have Corsi on for a week, along with Joe Arpaio claiming that the Feds are going after him in retaliation for uncovering Obama's birth certificate forgery.
Hell, Romney will dump his own VP pick for Orly Taitz if he thinks that he "just needs to amp up the crazy to 11."
Did you hear that player piano last night, a second term for the president will guarantee certain apocalyptic doom!

(46,322 posts)Like so much else of what he says and writes, it's a lie.
Of the 10 Commandments, it says "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighor."
Corsi lies about people constantly.
He's not a Christian, no a damn bit.
