Yesterday,
The New York Times gave front page coverage to Jerome Corsi's new book The Obama Nation saying:
"In its timing, authorship and style of reporting,
the book is strikingly reminiscent of the one Mr. Corsi wrote with John O’Neill about Mr. Kerry, Unfit for Command, which included various accusations
that were ultimately undermined by news reports pointing out the contradictions. (Some critics of Mr. Kerry quoted in the book had earlier praised his bravery in incidents they were now asserting he had fabricated; one had earned a medal for bravery in a gun battle he accused Mr. Kerry of concocting.)
But books like Unfit for Command, which remained for some 12 weeks on the Times best-seller list, and, now, The Obama Nation, have become an effective and favored delivery system for political attacks. There have been anti-Clinton (both Bill and Hillary) and anti-Bush books too numerous to name. The sensational findings in these books, true or dubious, can quickly come to dominate the larger political discussion in the news media, especially on cable television and the less readily detectible confines of talk radio and partisan Web sites."
The same day, John Kerry announced the launch of
truthfightsback.com, because "We all need to fight back against the smear machine. This website is all about empowering you because together, we have power we don't have alone.".
On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time
