Jerome Corsi, Sean Hannity’s favorite hatchet man, author of the scurrilous Unfit for Command, and more recent The Obama Nation — under the Mary Matalin Simon and Schuster imprint, Threshold Editions– has a few allegations about John McCain as well.

McCain Fortune Traced to Organized Crime

John McCain’s personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc.

IRE reporters Amy Silverman and John Doherty, writing in the Phoenix New Times, note that the father of McCain’s wife, James Hensley, was convicted by a federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948 on seven counts of filing false liquor records. Hensley also was charged with conspiracy to hide from federal authorities the names of persons involved in a liquor industry racket with two companies he managed, United Sales Company in Phoenix and United Distributors in Tucson.

Then there’s “Al-Qaeda group backs McCain for President.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.

The Albanian American Civic League, or AACL, regards the KLA as “freedom fighters,” said the AACL’s president, former Republican congressman Joe DioGuardi of New York.

They’re “not terrorist, like the Serbs and Greeks say,” DioGuardi insisted in an interview with WND.

But Islam expert Robert Spencer, editor of the popular website Jihad Watch, contends radical Islam is the driving force behind the Kosovo independence movement.

And, too boot, he’s a fan of Steven Jones of the 9/11 Truth movement who says explosives must have been planted in the Trade Towers because evidence isn’t enough …

The clip has Mr. Corsi discussing the findings of Steven Jones, physicist and hero of the “9/11 Truth” movement who claims to have evidence that the World Trade Center towers collapsed due to explosives inside the building, not just the planes hitting them, during the attacks.

Now of course, Hannity and Clowns will just ignore what they don’t like and praise to high heaven what they do… So have some fun. Make sure Corsi crap is known for what it is.
