Unfit book materials show Corsi more than just … [Media Matters for America]:
“On August 11, on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Reports, when Blitzer asked O’Neill if he would like to “disassociate” himself from Corsi’s comments “which appear to be anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic,” O’Neill quickly responded, “Oh, absolutely” — but then O’Neill proceeded again to downplay Corsi’s role. “Corsi acted as sort of an editor of our book. … He simply helped us in editing the book,” O’Neill said. When Blitzer returned, asking, “All right, but he’s listed as the co-author of the book, isn’t he?” O’Neill admitted that Corsi was listed as the book’s co-author but again claimed that he performed only “a function in editing, in — particularly in the second half of the book, in historical research, because he had done a great deal of research on the anti-war movement, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, but not in the Vietnam section of the book.”
[ . . . ]
Contrary to O’Neill’s assertion that Corsi only edited “particularly” “the second half of the book … but not in the Vietnam section of the book,” according to the book jacket (as well as Unfit’s “BOOK DETAILS,” which are posted on the Regnery website), O’Neill and “his coauthor” Corsi “interviewed dozens of veterans” and “meticulously documented” Kerry’s record[.]
So first, we have this O’Neill character, recruited by the Nixon administration to undermine the anti-war movement and its articulate spokesman, but no one questions his ties to the only president ever resign his office. And now he seeks to disassociate himself from his co-author for his hate-filled views. And this is the party of honor and integrity?
Is anyone else getting the “Nixon as Voldemort — he who must not be named” vibe from all this?
