American Author of Anti-Obama Book Detained in Kenya
An American author who penned an anti-Barack Obama book has been detained by immigration authorities in Kenya after plans to launch the book there, the Times of London reported.
Jerome Corsi, of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fame, was being held Tuesday morning while his immigration status is checked in a nation where Obama is widely popular.
He had been planning to launch his book, en led "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," before traveling to one of Nairobi’s slums to donate money to the Senator’s half-brother George, who was found living in squalid conditions two months ago.
But officers swooped hours after Corsi was described as "author of a smear crusade" by local newspapers.
Immigration officials claim he had been detained because he did not have a work permit, however one of Corsi's assistants said he was "just answering some questions.”
"We have been given water and are very comfortable," the assistant said.
Journalists were turned away from the hotel suite where the launch was due to be held. "He shouldn’t have had anything in the paper this morning," said one. "That was his mistake. He should have kept it secret."
Corsi said he had a $1,000 check for George Obama, seen as part of a stunt to suggest that the senator was not taking care of his Kenyan-based relative.
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.
A source at Nyayo House, where Corsi was being held, said the author had been detained for references made to Raila Odinga, the Kenyan prime minister, and allegations that his Muslim supporters had engaged in a wave of violence that rocked the country after December’s disputed elections.
The allegations are not taken seriously in Kenya, were Odinga is widely seen to have been cheated out of a legitimate victory.
Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations, said Corsi did not have a work permit. "We still haven’t decided what to do with him," he told The Associated Press.
In the promotional literature for his book, Corsi promised to reveal sinister links between Kenyan politicians and Obama.
"Dr. Corsi will also expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency," it said.
Obama, whose father was a well-known Kenyan economist, is hugely popular across Africa.
In Kenya, his meteoric rise and subsequent fame have won him support across traditional tribal boundaries and left many ordinary people wondering why American right-wingers would wish him ill.
Corsi's chickens have come home to roost! I hope they lock up the sucker! karma has a way of finding those who deserve it! It is a great day today...
heheehehe some white dude got locked up for writing a book heheheehe how cool is that hehehehe
What does his race have to do with it?
Feed him to the dogs.
How dare he scribe ill remarks about our Lord Barack Obama.
The Kenyan Government is claiming he didn't have a work visa.
He forgot that the First Amendment doesn't work in the rest of the world.

He wanted some Michael-Moore style footage for a stunt and got more than he bargained for.
I feel a bit sorry for him, but still find it a bit amusing. He will be politely detained, and probably told in no uncertain terms that he is not welcome in Kenya.
We about our corrupt politicians, until we go someplace and see what real corruption looks like.
Kenya is pretty awesome. Richard Leakey is a personal hero of mine.

Tear out his eyeballs and feed his fingers to the Lions.
This demon man shall never write again for he has defiled The Great One.
You prove once again you have outstanding takes on these thread topics.
Take this Shastafarian to the King. He has done great justice to our Lord Obama. The Chosen One will be pleased with his offerings.
Please show me anything in this thread where I say anything about Obama. Please. I implore you.
He suffers from Obama derangement syndrome.
He suffers from the maturity level of an infant.
jerome is not very bright.
Yes young Shastafarian one. You are gaining experience quite fast child. Soon you will be at the right hand of The One. Go yonder and bring justice for our people. The Obamaites.
More wonderful insight into the thread topic. Just keep hittin 'em outta the park there slugger.
Joe Farah was on FauxNews this morning BLASTING their anchor who said things in Corsi's book had been disproven. He claimed Obama was raised as a muslim and that Corsi's book was 100% true. Did I mention Farah runs WorldNetDaily?
HMMMMMMMM! God's gonna get you for that one! You were watching Fox News????
I watch periodically. It's a self realizing exercise. I see how long I can watch without laughing. It usually doesn't take very long for something to come on the screen that makes me laugh uncontrollably.HMMMMMMMM! God's gonna get you for that one! You were watching Fox News????
Oh dear. Shastafarian what have you done? The One will not be pleased with this newly discovered information.
For the sake of yourself and your fellow citizens of the world...you better pray His Holiness believes it was simply reconnaissance.
And by pray, I mean to the Lord Barock On. He can hear your thoughts child.

CNN is the most balanced 24 Hour News Channel. Unfortunately that isn't saying much.Kinda like CNN huh?
What you think FoxNews is "fair and balanced"?

Leaky,
