An American author who penned an anti-Barack Obama book was detained by immigration authorities in Kenya after plans to launch the book there, the Times of London reported. Jerome Corsi, of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fame, was being held Tuesday morning while his immigration status was checked in a nation where Obama is widely popular. Kenyan airport officials said they plan to deport Corsi. Despite, Joe Farah, a friend of Corsi's, told FOXNews he was still in custody and expected to make a flight to the U.K. later Tuesday. He had been planning to launch his book, entitled "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," before traveling to one of Nairobi’s slums to donate money to the Senator’s half-brother George, who was found living in squalid conditions two months ago. But officers swooped hours after Corsi was described as "author of a smear crusade" by local newspapers. Immigration officials claim he had been detained because he did not have a work permit, however one of Corsi's assistants said he was "just answering some questions.” "We have been given water and are very comfortable," the assistant said. Journalists were turned away from the hotel suite where the launch was due to be held. "He shouldn’t have had anything in the paper this morning," said one. "That was his mistake. He should have kept it secret." Corsi said he had a $1,000 check for George Obama, seen as part of a stunt to suggest that the senator was not taking care of his Kenyan-based relative. Corsi's book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president and includes innuendoes and false rumors — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and is secretly seething with "black rage." Obama is a Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his campaign picks apart the book's claims on the Obama campaign's rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com. A source at Nyayo House, where Corsi was being held, said the author had been detained for references made to Raila Odinga, the Kenyan prime minister, and allegations that his Muslim supporters had engaged in a wave of violence that rocked the country after December’s disputed elections. The allegations are not taken seriously in Kenya, were Odinga is widely seen to have been cheated out of a legitimate victory. Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations, said Corsi did not have a work permit. In the promotional literature for his book, Corsi promised to reveal sinister links between Kenyan politicians and Obama. "Dr. Corsi will also expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency," it said. Obama, whose father was a well-known Kenyan economist, is hugely popular across Africa. In Kenya, his meteoric rise and subsequent fame have won him support across traditional tribal boundaries and left many ordinary people wondering why American right-wingers would wish him ill.

Yes Sir, cant have that. Shoot Corsi as a warning to all whites.
So are bananas, elephants and 12 y/o kids with AKs who ride in the back of Toyota pickup trucks.
Blacks cannot alone elect Obummer, but whites will. Whites will soon be the minority, and when that day arrives, whites will pay.

Good.
Jeezus, give it a rest. Of course whites who are the majority in this country will elect Obama. They don't see as though they have a choice in the matter. And they aren't electing him because he's black, but in spite of it.
Ha... I am still waiting for your apology for a few days ago, re...your strident denial that NO ONE here said anything about making a fortune. "And they aren't electing him because he's black, but in spite of it. " And they will be electing a part of the system, they and perhaps angle is being swindled yet again. ' I'll wait here for your apology.
In polls and in casual conversation, many whites will say that they'll vote for Obama just to prove that they aren't racist. Even those whites who sincerely don't care about race but happen not to like Obama's politics will say that they'll vote for him, just to show how PC they are.
Someone needs to throw your useless leftwing ass in a 3d world prison.
It's the second mouse that gets the cheese
The only hope for the US is that blacks and Mexicans will wind up causing more trouble for one another than they cause for us. In some major cities, that seems to be true.
Whites will vote for him even if they don't like him because McCain is abhorent to them.
Your crazy ass arguments with robnoel go nowhere because you refuse to acknowlege that he might have something valid to contribute. I prefer to stay out of your pissing contests. Apology denied.
And others will vote for McCain even though they don't like him because Obama is abhorent to them. Both sides are wrong, just as they were in Bush vs. Gore 2000. But I can at least understand the mindset that votes for the lesser evil. What I can't understand are the people who get excited about either Obama or McPalin.
I'm merely responding to the claim made that whites will vote obama ONLY because they feel guilty. There's plenty of reasons whites will vote for obama.
Why do you read then??? Are you not afraid of contaminating your mind? You seem very irritable lately, I do hope all is well with you.
Good. Dumb ass.

Thank you. No worries.
Why are you visible?
Where have you been? Things were sure a little less cantankerous around here. Cyni had to go it alone. (hehe) It's moved past the label stage, imo.
It's moved past the label stage, imo. I had a vacation, From my problems. I went to the beach and stayed away from people/tv/internet. You people here are sadists. Any forum that keeps giving psychic energy to this bullshit for days on end needs help. I should go and never come back.....
Where ya gonna go? You can stay.
To a galaxy, far far away.
Well yes, eventually.
I cannot leave this planet, however. My karma will have me here for long into the age of aquarius....
Will it? Well then. Happy to have you on the trip.
I don't know if I am all that happy to be on such a miserable situation on this planet...
Alright. Sometimes changing focus helps.
