| pacquiao -- When one-time Republican frontrunner Donald Trump dropped out of the presidential race, I thought we were done with all this birther nonsense. But I guess right-wing conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi finally got to prove a Democrat wrong. Corsi just released his latest book, called -- wait for it -- Where's the Birth Certificate? Fortunately, the Obama campaign knows just how to handle things like this: Treat them like the joke they are. That's why I wanted to be sure you saw the campaign's email from yesterday offering "Made in the USA" mugs with the President's birth certificate. You can get yours here: https://my.democrats.org/USA-Made-Mug Thanks, Brad -------------ORIGINAL MESSAGE------------- From: Julianna Smoot, BarackObama.com Subject: You'll like this one Friend -- Let me introduce you to Jerome Corsi. This week he released a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller "of historic proportions." The title is Where's the Birth Certificate? -- yes, really. Corsi's work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth's core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he (a) is a secret Muslim; (b) is secretly anti-military; (c) secretly dealt drugs; and (d) secretly supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets! FactCheck.org called Corsi's work "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods." There's really no way to make this stuff completely go away. The only thing we can do is laugh at it -- and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke. So let's just do this -- get your Obama birth certificate mug here: Last year, the President said, "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." This is about as close as we can get. If the facts can't make these ridiculous smears go away, we can at least have a little fun with it. And then we'll get back to the important work of supporting the President as he tackles real problems like high gas prices, the deficit, and unemployment. Thanks, Julianna Julianna Smoot Deputy Campaign Manager Obama for America P.S. -- Mug not your thing? How about a T-shirt? | |
