Obama Swift Boat Sets Sail
Read the article by Jim Rutenberg and Julie Bosman, The New York Times. http://www.truthout.org/article/obama-swift-boat-sets-sail
In the summer of 2004 the conservative gadfly Jerome R. Corsi shot to the top of the best-seller lists as co-author of "Unfit for Command," the book attacking Senator John Kerry's record on a Vietnam War Swift boat that began the larger damaging campaign against Mr. Kerry's war credentials as he sought the presidency.
Almost exactly four years after that campaign began, Mr. Corsi has released a new attack book painting Senator Barack Obama as a stealth radical liberal who has tried to cover up 'extensive connections to Islam'. Mr. Obama is Christian - and questioning whether his admitted experimentation with drugs in high school and college ever ceased.
