The Obama Campaign's 40pp rebuttal to Jerome Corsi's book
Unfit for Publication [PDF] - the Obama campaign's 40pp rebuttal to the "facts" in Jerome Corsi's book.
Reminds me a bit of Usenet. If someone spouts a bunch of stuff and you can see there's at least 30% of it that's wrong right off the bat, you go looking to see what other "facts" might be wrong.
Loads.
Corsi seems an odd duck.
Perhaps, though, I should volunteer as copy editor when the campaign is writing up these lengthy, smear-fighting essays.
e.g.
p2 As you might expect from the book's shoddy foundation, many of its claims are also completely false. The Obama's never gave a million dollars to a Kenyan politician.
misplaced apostrophe Maybe it started out as "Obama's campaign" and morphed into "The Obama's" without needed tweaking of punctuation.
p5 Obama Writes That His Father's Third Wife Refused To Life With His First Wife

And so forth and on. I tuckered out about page nineteen, but I've saved the PDF and I'll continue reading later.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
