It appears that the birther stuff Jerome Corsi pushes when he’s away from WorldNetDaily is even more crazy than what he publishes there.
Media Matters found a video of a presentation Corsi gave to a tea party group in Arizona, in which he peddled his birther conspiracies. Corsi had this exchange with an audience member:
WOMAN: Does it concern you that he doesn’t look a thing like Sr — Obama Sr. — but he does look a lot like Malcolm X?
[Laughter from audience. Man off camera says “that’s a good one.”]
CORSI: There’s no proof that he is Malcolm X’s son. He does not look like Barack Obama Sr. at all, and I’ve had a lot of questions as to whether he’s the father. Want to know what I think? I’ve always thought the father was Indonesian. There’s an Indonesian look alike very much like Barack Obama, and I think his characteristics are more Indonesian than they are — and she might have met some Indonesian at [unintelligible] bar one night and that might be how it happened.
Media Matters also notes that Corsi’s activism site, 1776 Nation, is planning a “Millionpatriotsmarch” in Washington Oct. 1 that at this writing is falling well short of that goal; only three people have said they’re attending.
