Dr. Jerome Corsi told Sean Hannity today that he has tapes of Barack Obama campaigning for his cousin, Raila Odinga, in Kenya back in 2006.
Odinga’s trying to overthrow the US-backed government of democratically-elected President Mwai Kibaki, so he can institute shari’a law (fundamentalist merging of religion and state) in Kenya.
Obama campaigned for Odinga as a sitting United States Senator, where he spoke in front of crowds with his cousin Odinga:
There’s a natural train of logic here that could be very damaging for Obama in the general election if Corsi actually does possess footage of Obama’s Kenyan campaign tour:
(1) Odinga’s supporters are determined to overthrow the Kenyan government, so his campaign appearances would address that as his chief goal.
(2) By nature of wanting to overthrow the Kenyan government, Odinga’s supporters are anti-American, since the Kenyan government is US-backed (and at least partially reliant on the US for stability).
(3) A successful campaign by Odinga would mean making anti-American statements, coupled with anti-Kenyan government statements, at campaign stops to rev up his followers.
(4) Obama appeared at campaign rallies with Odinga in Kenya, for Odinga’s followers.
(5) Obama has a proven track record of telling people exactly what they want to hear (see: San Francisco liberals re: bitter, gun-clinging Midwesterners; Ohio voters re: NAFTA; the Canadian government re: NAFTA; the liberal netroots re: FISA, campaign finance reform, you name it).
You know where this is going.
If Obama’s audience wanted to hear anti-American remarks, and Odinga always obliged these people, then Obama, with Odinga, at a campaign rally like this, as a sitting US Senator, well, fill in the blank. Or, go read Corsi’s book. Or, just wait for the tapes.
Should be interesting.
