NEW YORK (Reuters) - The author who put Democratic Sen. John Kerry on the defensive over his military record during his 2004 presidential run has turned his attention to 2008 White House hopeful Barack Obama with a new bestseller."The Obama Nation" tops The New York Times bestseller list amid accusations that some of author Jerome Corsi's assertions are lies designed to damage Obama politically.
Corsi co-wrote "Unfit for Command," which questioned accounts of an attack on Kerry's boat during the Vietnam War, and his actions in the subsequent skirmish for which he received a Silver Star medal. The book sparked a political attack on Kerry.
In "The Obama Nation," which Corsi says is a play on the word abomination, the author questions whether Obama could still be using marijuana and cocaine and insinuates Obama is Muslim despite the candidate's insistence he is a Christian.
Ludacris Was Right. Fight Fire With Fire. They have Fox News, Obama has Hip Hop.

Why is being Muslim a bigger sin than being a Zionist lapdog in this country?
Also, funny how Clinton caught hell for "not inhaling" pot, yet nobody gives a fuck that Obama freely admitted to inhaling both weed and coke...I guess White libs are more prone to excuse drug usage as an inescapable part of "Black hood culture?"
(Nevermind the fact that Obama grew up on a tropical resort island.)
You just wont' let this luda coon go, will you DV.
If you gon' keep trying to shove this bacoonery (I just made that up) down our throats and tell us it's positive and beneficial to Obama's campaign then at least show us LUDA'S video. Show us his own work. Show us the video that Luda HIMSELF put out..not some cut and paste bullshit put together after the fact by some unrelated 3rd party.
DV, don't want y'all to see this:

But The Prince don't roll like that.
(Pay extra attention to the Bentley, the Video Hoes, OH! and don't forget Ricky Ross..named after one of the largest drug traffikers in American History)
" Ludacris Was Right. Fight Fire With Fire. They have Fox News, Obama has Hip Hop."
Man, please. Obama has already denounced this garbage. And if the man himself doesn't want this type of support,to perpetuate it is counterproductive to his campaign.
Wayne, if you going to call yourself Prince, read Machiavelli.
Understand something about strategy. Incorporate the power of proxy into your rationale.
Either that, or take my word for it and let me do the thinking.
Your Tavis Smiley level analysis is totin' a knife to a gunfight.
(Yaaaaawwwnnn)
" Wayne, if you going to call yourself Prince, read Machiavelli."
Macciavelli?
(The Prince scoffs)
Maybe you should read up on Amun, Imhotep or Heru or Neckau. They will offer you a better understanding of the Prince's ancestry. Catch up yo.
" As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” said spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, IT IS OFFENSIVE TO ALL OF US WHO ARE TRYING TO REAISE OUR CHILDREN WITH VALUES WE HOLD DEAR. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
I am God's son. And I approved this message.
GOD'S SON APPROVED THAT MESSAGE.
Maybe you should do the thinking for him too, huh?
(That was from the NBA 3pt line)
I asked you this before and you dodged me. So, I'll ask again. If Luda put this video out in support of Obama. And Obama publicly denounces this garbage in no uncertain terms. If the man, himself, doesn't want this type of support, then wouldn't it be counterproductive to his campaign to perpetuate and peddle it...THE WAY YOU DO? (Not rhetorical, PLEASE ANSWER THIS ONE)
Yous a smart mofo, DV. No doubt. But you outsmarting yourself to the point that you sound well...ignorant. Your constant unabashed support of hip hop and rappers in all forms, despite their content, message and delivery clearly exhibits your level of bias. You are, therefore, unable to offer a constructive, objective opinion on any matter remotely related to hip hop.
In one voice you praise Obama as a prophet or "God's Son".
In the next, he's Tavis Smiley. (If I'm Tavis, so is he. We have the same stance)
So, here's your chance, tell us GOD'S SON is wrong. Tell us you should be thinking for GOD's SON. Tell us that you are a better strategist that is GOD's SON.
And to be clear, The Prince isn't bashing hip hop, he still bangs "The Chronic" in his chamber. The Prince is bashing THIS video as an appropriate venue of offering support to Obama.
Pff. Machiavelli.
"So, I'll ask again. If Luda put this video out in support of Obama. And Obama publicly denounces this garbage in no uncertain terms. If the man, himself, doesn't want this type of support, then wouldn't it be counterproductive to his campaign to perpetuate and peddle it...THE WAY YOU DO?" PW
OK. Let me see if I can break it down a bit further ...
OK. Let's try this:
1) God's Son is 3% to 5% ahead of Mr. Magoo in the polls.
2) Based on this catastrophic war and economic calamity produced by the current political regime, he should be 30% to 50% ahead in the polls.
3) He's not, ONLY because of the successful negative campaign of lies, memes and propaganda produced by the anti-Obama camp designed to distract, corrupt and slander God's Son. (sound familiar?)
4) McCain doesn't "support"/ "endorse" Jerome Corsi either. But he damn sure benefits from his attacks on Obama.
5) Making John McCain and George W. Bush look ridiculous HELPS Barack Obama.
6) Of course Obama issued a statement distancing himself from the dirt. He had no alternative. He also says Israel's Apartheid Wall is for their "defense".
He doesn't believe that shit either. He is still a politician. He'll say what is expedient. What Obama says in public is not a perfect reflection of what aids his cause.
7) The "Upsetting White Folks" argument is flawed. Anyone NOT voting for Obama because of a Ludacris mix tape - wasn't going to vote for Obama to begin with.
8) "Ludacris need to shut da hell up! Dem white fowks gwanna real-eyes Obama bwak if he keep tawkin'! Lawd Ha Mursy!! He gwan make dem white fowks Maddddd!"
Prince that Ol' timey "don't offend white people", Negro analysis is something I had come not to expect from you.
Every rapper in the country should be cutting pro-Obama records right now.
Listen Wayne:
1) Chant
2) Down
3) Babylon
1) God's Son is 3% to 5% ahead of Mr. Magoo in the polls.
And you think videos and songs like this work to widen that gap? You're contradicting yourself. I will show you how in just a minute.
2) Based on this catastrophic war and economic calamity produced by the current political regime, he should be 30% to 50% ahead in the polls. -My Brother DV
Unless my comprehension skills are lacking it sounds like you are saying that Obama NEEDS Ludacris. I get that right? I happen to disagree. Obama will win this office in spite of Luda, not because of him. I believe he would stand a better chance at the office if Luda never opened his fawking mouth.
"Anyone NOT voting for Obama because of a Ludacris mix tape - wasn't going to vote for Obama to begin with."
Couldn I not employ that same logic and submit that anyone who WOULD vote for Obama was going to anyway, whether or not he dropped that video? And if so, why drop the video?
(That was from the NBA 3pt line)
Ref. Section 1 of my response regarding your self contradiction.
Every rapper in the country should be cutting pro-Obama records right now.
And that 3-5% gap swings 3-5% in the other direction. I wonder how an Obama video featuring Trick Daddy, 3-6 Mafia and Cam'Ron would go over. DV, I got no problem with rappers showing outward support for the man. My problem is the method. She's a bitch, he's a cripple and the Pres is a retard doesn't cut it. That shit doesn't go over with educated voters. This will be a landmark elction. There will be more voters following this race than any other in history. People are aware.
Mc Cain doesn't "support"/ "endorse" Jerome Corsi either. But he damn sure benefits from his attacks on Obama.
I haven't read it, but I'd imagine it is a factually based manuscript. And if he lied or exaggerated, Im sure Obama will address and correct those lies.
DV, it's like like sometimes you get it:
" He is still a politician. He'll say what is expedient."
But sometimes you don't:
"Prince that Ol' timey "don't offend white people", Negro analysis is something I had come not to expect from you."
Our people make up about 13% of this country. If every Black person and no on else, in this country voted for Obama, he would get his ass handed to him. This is politics. You don't wear your emotions on your sleeves. You play the game. Until the time is right. The time will be right, January 21, 2009.
There are 2 concepts The Prince would like to introduce to you, DV:
1. Time
2. Place
Chess, my man....Not checkers.
"That shit doesn't go over with educated voters."
LOL. Educated Voters? LOL
Ahhhhh. That's funny man. I just spit room service all over my monitor.
What planet are you on?
Big Wayne. Your swagger got training wheels. Your DV imitation is about as about as good as Harold Miners imitation of Michael Jordan.
You got your tongue out, but missing dunks. You got an arm band around your bicep, but your fade away is clanking off the rim. Your 3 pointers were all air-balls.
Your "Black people are 13% of the population, therefor not 1 of us had better insult the opposition argument" is something even Pres would call Plantation Negro.
Jews are 1% of the population and they have leveraged both positive and negative attacks, propaganda and memes distributed by books, TV, News shows, school books and film to empower themselves 10 times more than Hat-In-Hand Negros who think we need to operate as a political and memematic monolith.
Ludacris releases 1 edgy .mp3 and you Negros got your lips poked out more than the Republicans. Summin aint right.
Your inability to see there is not a dime's bit of difference between the Corsi book released by Simon & Schuster ... Simon ... and Schuster .... (listen again Wayne) ... Simon and Schuster
is
no
different
than the rap song released by Ludacris on YouTube, concerns me.
Except that the Simon and Schuster book is a Fake Bestseller - paid for by conservative political operatives - Actually read by very few people.
The books mission was HEADLINES / MEMES / THE POWER OF SUGGESTION.
Ludacriss dropped a song (headlines / memes / power of suggestion) GENUINELY viewed by Millions.
They paid to distribute their memes. Hip Hop doesn't have to pay people to consume pro-Obama memes.
"Cast your buckets where you are." (Peep Booker T if you aint hip)
Now we can continue this conversation if you elevate your discourse to include comparative media analysis.
But you calling a cat like Ludacris a coon, who is demonstrating an understanding of media far more sophisticated than your own - is not a good look.
But you won't appreciate his artistic and political genius, until some white boy breaks it down in USA Today.
You funny DV. I'm grinnning ear to ear right now, because I don't know the last time I seen a black man on ice skates.
But that's why I fucks with you, though.
Your argument:
"Anyone NOT voting for Obama because of a Ludacris mix tape - wasn't going to vote for Obama to begin with."
My rebuttal:
Could I not employ that same logic and submit that anyone who WOULD vote for Obama was going to anyway, whether or not he dropped that video? And if so, why drop the video?
Address it.
After you fumble over yourself, we can move forward as I shred your assertion that Luda is some type of "political genius".
Print v video is not particularly relevant to our core difference of opinion. Let's stay on topic.
FYI - My swagger hangs to the middle of my thigh.
Wait! And before you stray further off topic, let the record reflect that The Prince has never supported or endorsed Corsi's text. Don't go too far on that tangent. Whether it is the same or different is also irrelevant to our core difference of opinion.
Ok, your go.
If you wanna know what Jerome Corsi is really about, listen to his planned appearance Sunday afternoon on "The Political Cesspool," a white-supremacist radio show that's also streamed at Stormfront.org, your neo-Nazi home on the Web.
Corsi has been on this show at least twice before.
That's Sunday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. (4 to 7 Central; 2 to 5 Pacific).
How about some fight-back tactics that move a step or two beyond listening to hip-hop?
The difference between Corsi and Luda?? One's a rapper and one's a white dude with glasses who wrote a book.
One will be seen by the white folks (ones who just aren't sure about this Barack Obama ) as a foul mouthed rapper. Period.
The other will be viewed as an author. exaggerated or not, far more legit.
Angry rapper = hurts Obama
(people open minded and smart enough to like Luda are open minded enough to see the brilliance of obama)
Author of a book = hurts obama
(we thought the muslim terrorist spy rumors were ridiculous... yet people believe. The WANT to believe shit like that...and OHHH maybe this dude with his smart looking glasses has the reeeeal scoop on that Barkorama, or whatever his name is).
If celebrity endorsements were gonna help obama, they already would have. Oprah, check. Halle Berry tight t-shirts, check. The Will.I.Am video with an inspirational tune and celebrity filled images, check. Will Smith, Mr. "it" of the moment, check. The KENNEDY family?! Check.
Obama's got it....
A video by Ludacris? Not making a dent. Not in a good way anyway.
DV, gotta say you killll me with your slave accent. As fas as Corsi's book being a bestseller, that's bull. Newsmax and other neocon factions buy the books in bundles and give them away free. I heard an interview with Corsi and he admitted he had no knowledge of Obama using drugs currently but that it needs to be investigated. What? This man is a nut. He wins evertime someone gives him a platform for his lies.

Wayne Luda isn't a coon ( how about bufcoonlery).
DV Id have to say Wayne is right on this one. Black ppl gotta stop being so open and honest. Instead we have to adapt the rhetorical culture of the white boy. When people ask me about Obama, I pretend Im objective not because of fear of offending white folk but because innately WP people feel that our goals run counter to theirs and vice versa. Don't you think it would of been more productive if he gave Hillary props instead of calling her a bitch? Like Wayne said... It's chess not checkers. If you watch the show "the Tudors" and listen to the dialogue (interesting facet of european culture)how open aggression never gets the desired results. Poise. Pretend. Chill nigga chill...
Don't worry DV you can be wrong> It's your blog man. You still the boss around here but you might be wrong on this one chief..
Also, funny how Clinton caught hell for "not inhaling" pot, yet nobody gives a fuck that Obama freely admitted to inhaling both weed and coke...I guess White libs are more prone to excuse drug usage as an inescapable part of "Black hood culture?"
No Byrd
I think people just want to hear the truth. His intellect and ideas more than make up for past experimental drug use. CLinton caught hell from conservatives AND Me but only because he didn't opt to actually get high. Although there is a bit of truth in that. Generally speaking you'd be right but I don't think so in this case.
