Jerome Corsi detained in Kenya

Wow. Most Obama critics would settle for just talking talking about George Obama, but to actually go to Kenya to humiliate the man as part of a book promotion? What a slimeball.

Wait, so Obama having a black half-brother is a scandal? :wink:

How can schadenfreude be wrong when it feels so right?

I wonder what Corsi, in his role as right-wing shill, usually says about foreigners who come to America and attempt to work illegally?

So you believe there is a duty for Americans to keep silent about Kenyan corruption? And anyone who criticizes them on the subject is stupid?

So Obama is an idiot, right?

I believe the point she was trying to make is that if you do criticize it, don’t expect to be greeted with open arms by the government you just criticized.

Of course, you knew that’s what she meant - or at least you should have- and you’re just being a shit-stirrer, as usual.

Actually, i believe that Americans should speak up about Kenyan corruption, and corruption anywhere else for that matter.

But…

If Americans do this, they should not be surprised if the objects of their criticism wave them away dismissively. After all, the United States government, and many of its people, have shown themselves singularly unresponsive to criticisms of their own behavior from people outside of America. Hell, i’ve heard people, including folks on these board, explicitly state that the rest of the world should mind its own fucking business and that we should not care what they say about American problems and policies.

Also, it seems to me that Americans truly concerned about corruption and government cronyism have plenty to criticize at home right now, without having to go half way around the world to find it. Many Americans are very good at turning their powers of analysis and critique on other people’s problems, while ignoring the ones right under their noses.

Let’s be equally honest and note that he was there not to make some rhetorical point about Kenyan corruption, but to use the country and one of its citizens as a backdrop for a publicity stunt to promote his book. I don’t want him locked up n Kenya though, I would rather he live free and clear in America under an Obama administration.

Nurse Carmen didn’t say that at all. He just said it was stupid to talk shit about a government right before you go to their country. It’s extra stupid to lie about your reasons for visiting and try to work without a permit.

You think Obama is stupid, then. I agree with you, as it happens, but it surprises me to hear you admit it.

So you think Sarah Palin is totally unqualified to be vice-president too, huh? What a relief.
See? I can do it too.

You can SUCK???!???

LOLz I got you!

Obama didn’t talk shit about the Kenyan government BEFORE he visited.

By the way, your hero Corsi has also accused John McCain of having Middle Eastern terrorist connections. Do you believe that crap too, or just whatever he says about black people?
