Jerome Corsi calls young Obama supporters "clueless"
from the American Family Association's nutball OneNewsNow:



Young Obama supporters 'don't have a clue'
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 11/6/2008 5:00:00 AM


A best-selling author and investigative journalist says no one should be surprised that young Obama supporters would wave Soviet flags during election celebrations.

Dr. Jerome Corsi is the author of The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality. He spent the campaign warning voters of the extreme left-wing policies of the man who will become the nation's 44th president. But he says apparently a substantial number of young voters remain clueless.

"I watched the people in Grant Park waving communist flags, having a dancing party (in celebration of Obama's victory)," Corsi notes. "These are kids who haven't lived through (economic troubles and) don't even remember Jimmy Carter. They don't have a clue about high gasoline prices or an economy where we're saying that we've got economic malaise."

The author says young people like those in Grant Park have been indoctrinated by the left-wing education establishment.

"They've been taught socialism; they've been taught communism," he says. "(Schools) don't teach the economics that say that the Soviet Union is out of business because it was bankrupt. They don't teach the politics that say that Stalin killed...35 or 50 million of his own people."

Corsi says with the election of Obama, America unfortunately may soon be revisiting the dark days under President Jimmy Carter.

There was someone in Grant Park with a Soviet flag and the media made SURE
they got video of it. I'd bet ANYTHING it was a McCain plant.

him pulled it down. One commie out of all those people. BFD.

6. Um, did this actually even happen? People waving USSR flags?

Or is this whole story another example of Republican mind-fuck propaganda (think, Manson plus Goebbels) where they try to create "reality" out of doubletalk and lies?

:shrug:

10. this "communist flag" bullshit is desperation
I guess someone might have had a flag there, but I never saw one. I DID see lots and lots of American flags.

I saw and heard people chanting "USA" -- people who had no pride to chant that when Bush was in office.

I am so fucking sick of wastoids like Corsi. Spreading bullshit. Trying to create a controversy where none exists.

Corsi is like a one-man tabloid rag. Worthless source of information.

WTF?

I think we had both of those under Bush, although I could be wrong.

17. Someone should ask Corsi
What was he doing in Kenya a few weeks ago, and then they should ask the Kenyan government why they threw Corsi out?
