Corsi: Obama鈥檚 Father May Have Been an American Communist
is not happy. For the past several years, the California-based swimsuit model-turned-lawyer has poured her heart and soul into an endless series of alleging that President Obama is not a U.S. citizen and is therefore ineligible for office. Now, she says, 鈥� the devoted birther and conspiracy-monger who authored last year鈥檚 ill-timed 鈥� is ruining everything.
鈥淛EROME CORSI IS DESTROYING THE CASE ON WHICH I WORKED FOR 4 YEARS 24/7/365,鈥� reads a headline posted Sunday on Taitz鈥� website. 鈥淗E IS GRATUITOUSLY MAKING UP AN AMERICAN FATHER FOR OBAMA.鈥�
Actually, what Corsi is doing is a little lazier than that. Perhaps realizing that the 鈥渂irther鈥� fad is winding down despite the release, last November, of his e-book Where鈥檚 the REAL Birth Certificate, the relentless right-wing attack dog has tentatively embraced someone else鈥檚 alternative theory of Obama鈥檚 provenance. In a recent article for WorldNetDaily, Corsi suggested that a new documentary makes a 鈥渃ompelling case鈥� that the president鈥檚 real father was not Kenyan-born Barack Obama Sr. at all.
Instead, the documentary argues, Obama was sired by the late , a Honolulu-based black labor activist.
鈥淒reams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception,鈥� is a direct-to-DVD project of Joel Gilbert, a filmmaker and writer whose work to date includes a raft of anti-Muslim tomes and tracts. According to its website, the film 鈥渨eaves together the proven facts with reasoned logic and speculation in an attempt to fill-in the obvious gaps in Obama's history.鈥�
鈥淭he 鈥楤irthers鈥� have been on a fool's errand,鈥� Gilbert is quoted as saying. 鈥淭o understand Obama's plans for America, the question is not 鈥榃here's the Birth Certificate?,鈥� the question is 鈥榃ho is the real father?鈥欌��
The far right has long obsessed over the president鈥檚 relationship with Davis, who had ties to the Communist Party, was friends with Obama鈥檚 grandfather, and about whom the president wrote fondly in his memoir.
Driving the rampant speculation about the two men鈥檚 relationship has been gay-hating columnist , who runs an antigovernment 鈥淧atriot鈥� group call America鈥檚 Survival and is director of 鈥渋nvestigative journalism鈥� at the ironically named rightwing outfit Accuracy in Media (AIM).
Gilbert鈥檚 new film has Kincaid in a frenzy of excited speculation. 鈥淚 have always called Davis the 鈥榤entor鈥� of Obama. I have also referred to him as Obama鈥檚 surrogate father and role model,鈥� he wrote Saturday in an E-mail to members of America鈥檚 Survival. 鈥淏ut what if Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis was more than a mentor? What if he was Obama鈥檚 real father?
鈥淚 have seen the new shocking film, 鈥楧reams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception,' which makes the case that Davis was indeed Obama鈥檚 father. It is not a matter of DNA evidence. But director Joel Gilbert has assembled a lot of circumstantial evidence.鈥�
Holy cow, circumstantial evidence? We here at Hatewatch are already half-convinced.
And if that weren鈥檛 enough to persuade us to whip out the credit card and order a copy for everyone in the office, Kincaid also offers a titillating warning: 鈥淸T]his story involves perversion and pornography. In assembling this evidence, Gilbert traces nude photos of Obama鈥檚 mother to Davis鈥檚 home. 鈥� The nudity is central to the story, since Joel Gilbert makes the case that Davis was sexually intimate with Obama鈥檚 mother, and that the relationship resulted in Obama鈥檚 birth. It was covered up for reasons explained in the film.鈥�
Describing Davis as a 鈥渟ex pervert who had sex with young girls,鈥� Kincaid writes, 鈥淵ou can draw your own conclusions. But you owe it to yourself to see the evidence.鈥�
Perversion, nudity and communism all in one film? Sounds great!
Sorry, Orly. We鈥檙e sold!
