| Corsi is also considered by many to be a conspiracy theroist, so there goes the credibility right there. Last edited on Sun Nov 2nd, 2008 10:59 pm by Bambi

Care to explain the following from Factcheck.org:
A frequent Corsi tactic is to point to some link between Obama and various unsavory persons and to imply that Obama somehow shares in their unsavoriness. He devotes an entire chapter to violent uprisings in Kenya following a disputed presidential election in 2007. The link to Obama? During a visit to Kenya in 2006, Obama and his wife, Michelle, arranged to take an AIDS test to publicly demonstrate the test's safety. While there, Obama spoke to the assembled crowd. Raila Odinga, one of the two candidates running for president, was on the stage when Obama spoke. Corsi concludes that the event constituted an endorsement of Odinga. He goes on to attribute all the violence in Kenya to an elaborate Odinga plot.
Corsi, however, offers no evidence that Obama actually did endorse Odinga. In fact, MSNBC reported that during that same trip, Obama also met with Mwai Kibaki, who was Odinga's opponent in that election, as well as with opposition leader Uhuru Kenyatta. And Human Rights Watch reported that both Odinga and Kibaki (or their supporters, anyway) had a hand in the violence that followed the election.

... please view this one.
I have led a bit of a campaign for awareness here in an attempt to persuade some Obama supporters to wake up and smell the coffee. I suspect my efforts were ill-spent here, but it did send me on a path to educating myself on the real issues and stakes in this election. It also made me realize the tremendous implications of our selection of governance and just how fortunate we are to be able to have a voice in that selection.
I thank all whom I have debated here. In the end, we are a country made up of differing opinions and views. My defense of those very liberties and the ability for ordinary people to create their own destinies are what has driven me to be so vocal here. I have learned from this exercise and appreciate the banter.
What is most important is that we ALL get out and vote. Any vote you cast is a testament to our freedoms and we all need to be thankful for that. We are a nation of one and the balance of left and right is what makes this country what it is. God bless America and I hope everyone will think good and hard before casting their vote this election.
