Smear-mongering author Jerome Corsi ripped off Minnesota investors

Jerome Corsi made his career writing falsehoods about Sen. John Kerry four years ago on behalf of the Swift Boaters, and now he’s back for another round of attacks — this time against Sen. Barack Obama in Obama Nation, a book the media is calling “vicious innuendo,” “an abomination” and “filled with falsehoods” and wild theories.

As the Boston Globe reveals, Corsi has Minnesota ties — and none-too-happy ones — in his past as well.
