Unable to admit that his birther conspiracy has been utterly discredited — he won’t even concede that Mike Zullo’s cold case posse, of which he is a de facto member, completely botched the birth certificate coding stuff — Jerome Corsi must find ways to distract from his failure. As befits the personality of himself and his boss, Joseph Farah, he’s chosen to fully embrace his inner sleazy bottom-feeder, peddling rumors that Barack Obama is gay.
He’s been doing this for a while now, but he’s been wading deeper and deeper into that cesspool in recent months as the birther conspiracies he’s peddled for years have imploded.
Corsi’s latest attempt at slime-peddling is an Aug. 28 article focused around Obama assistant Reggie Love and how “the Internet” was “abuzz with speculation” that Love temporarily stepped down from his position because of college photos that “purported to show a heavily inebriated Love surrounded by fellow students assisting him in engaging in a homosexual act at a party.”
Corsi then goes on to tout how the Drudge Report “toyed with headlines, photos and page placement over the years that give the impression Love was something more than a presidential assistant” to Obama, then finally moved to peddle completely unsubstantiated rumors that Obama and Love have had a sexual relationship.
Corsi presents not a single fact in support of this claim — only rumors. This is the WND “news” standard now, apparently.
One of Corsi’s sources for his sleaze on Love is Wayne Madsen, whom we’ve previously noted peddling false birther claims and discredited anti-vaccine conspiracies. This is the best “source” Corsi has, by the way.
Corsi has never cared about the truth — he only wants to destroy Obama. His new obsession with homosexuality only confirms that. (Though, for all we know, it may be more than a professional interest.)
