Just when you think "SwiftBoatgate" can't implode anymore...

Geez, I thought I was done with SwiftBoatgate, but it gets weirder and weirder and weirder...

This one's about Jerome Corsi, "co-author" of "Unfit for Command," published by the folks who brought out Ann Coulter's tomes...

On August 6, Salon.com's Joe Conason documented links between Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the conservative online forum www.FreeRepublic.com. Conason noted that the designer of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website is Robert A. Hahn, a director of the Free Republic Network, a conservative activist organization affiliated with FreeRepublic.com. Scott Swett, who is listed as the webmaster of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website, swiftvets.com, also appeared on FOX News Channel host Sean Hannity's August 5 radio show to discuss the group. Swett posts frequently to FreeRepublic.com, using the pseudonym "Interesting Times," and is also a director of the Free Republic Network. The wintersoldier.com website to which Swett has contributed articles is a project of the Free Republic Network.

Corsi is also a frequent participant in FreeRepublic.com's online forums, posting under the pseudonym "jrlc" since 2001. (Click here to read a full set of Corsi's posts; click here to read the post in which "jrlc" admits to being Jerome Corsi.)

On FreeRepublic.com, Corsi has, among other things, said that "ragheads" are "boy buggers"; referred to "John F*ing Kerry"; called Senator Hillary Clinton a "Fat Hog"; referred to her daughter as "Chubby Chelsie" Clinton; referred to Janet Reno as "Janet Rhino"; called Katie Couric "Little Katie Communist"; suggested Kerry was "practicing Judaism"; and expressed the wish that a small plane that had crashed into a building in Los Angeles had instead crashed into the set of NBC'S The West Wing, thereby killing actor Martin Sheen.

Ouch!

For anyone left out there who thinks that the "Free Republic" is not a hateful site, and that they don't cultivate some pretty nasty folks, and that their website provides "balance," Corsi's posts ought to tell you that these are not the kinds of Americans who should be driving policy in the United States.


Does Rush Limbaugh really want to know "Why didn't the mainstream media find these guys? Why did these guys have to surface themselves?"

I think the media's found 'em, and I think we're in for some really good instant karma on this.
