Dear editor, After the publication of his book in 2004 smearing John Kerry, Jerome Corsi is at it again — pumping out lies about the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee. Corsi’s new book, “Obama Nation,” is full of the deceptions, contradictions and distortions that characterize his writing. Mr. Corsi has, in the past, alleged that George W. Bush is trying to dissolve our borders with Mexico and Canada, that oil is inexhaustible, and that the government caused the Twin Towers to fall on 9/11.

Although the abundance of footnotes in the book makes it look legitimate, close inspection reveals that many of them cite Corsi’s own past writing, which is known for statements of religious intolerance and bigotry.

The book’s appearance as No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller List is mainly due to bulk sales — to right-wing groups.

I suggest that your readers refer to the Web sites snopes.com and factcheck.org to find out the truth about Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain.
