Sure the man’s an NAU truther and his book hurts Republicans by making us look foolish, but this is literal fascism that should make every American howl in protest:
NAIROBI, Kenya — The American author of a book critical of Barack Obama is being detained in Kenya while his immigration status is checked, a senior immigration official said Tuesday.
Jerome Corsi, who wrote “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,” was being held at immigration headquarters in Nairobi after police picked him up from his hotel Tuesday, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.
“We still haven’t decided what to do with him,” Maluta told The Associated Press.
He said Corsi did not have a temporary work permit needed to conduct business in Kenya.
Obama is wildly popular in Kenya. His father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist.
Corsi’s book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president and includes innuendoes and false rumors — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and is secretly seething with “black rage.”
Obama is a Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his campaign picks apart the book’s claims on the Obama campaign’s rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com.
According to a press release announcing Corsi’s visit, he arrived last week at the invitation of Christian missionaries concerned about the rise of Islam. Corsi was planning to file daily dispatches all week, the statement said.
Obama’s Kenyan uncle, Said Obama, said he was unaware of Corsi’s detention.
Sure he was.
The AP obviously thinks the real story here is that Corsi bad mouthed The One but they betray him by providing ample motive for a man who is on record as wanting a paramilitary civilian force which answers to him to be funded by taxpayers to do have a relative do a little black bag job on someone who is a little too critical.
Don’t discount the Kenyans own motive to grab Corsi however, as he was reporting on Muslim atrocities against Christians in a country set to become an Islamo-communist state. This could be just an attempt to keep a western reporter unsympathetic to Muslim massacres from seeing how Christians get treated by by Jihadists.
What are the chances you’ll see this on Huffpo? Nil. Especially when they have a made up smear of McCain that claims he was hanging around Nazis and Death Squads to run. How evil was McCain in the 80s to support anti-Communism? According to Huffpo he was worse than Hitler.
