Oh dear. Jim Corsi, author of the new anti-Obama book that’s already hit the top of the bestseller list, apparently has an internet altar ego with some rather dramatic views. According to Media Matters, Corsi posted on FreeRepublic.com as “jrlc”:

On Catholics and the Pope
“Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press.”
“So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the laywers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that’s probably about it.”
On Islam and Arabs
“Islam is like a virus — it affects the mind — maybe even better as an analogy — it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects… No doctor would hesitate to eliminate cancer cells from the body.”
“Isn’t the Democratic Party the official SODOMIZER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION of AMERICA — oh, I forgot, it was just an accident that Clintoon’s first act in office was to promote “gays in the military.” RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters — it all goes together.”
On the Clintons
“When is this guy going to admit he’s simply an anti-American communist? Won’t he and his leftist wife simply go away???? Enough already.”
“Anybody ask why HELLary couldn’t keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?”
“But the real question is: WHERE IS CHUBBIE CHELSEA?”

MediaMatters.org had documented these a few years ago and linked to a post in which Corsi appears to have fessed up to being the deranged poster. A liberal group called Catholics United is asking John McCain to denounce Corsi.
Other interesting questions: will Bill Donohue at the Catholic League have something to say about this? Will media outlets continue to book Corsi? So far he’s appeared on: Fox and Friends, Hannity & Colmes, MSNBC, CNN (Glenn Beck), Hannity’s America, to name a few.
UPDATE: Corsi said on CNN that these comment “were not written to express my true views. They were intentionally written to be antagonistic.” He said he’s a “member in good standing of the catholic church.” And he’s apologized at one point, saying, “I don’t stand by any of those comments and I apologize if they offended anybody.”
