Joseph Farah Says He May Sue Esquire For ‘parody’ Story On Jerome Corsi Book

esquire coer mix match clooney schoeller 2009 5 222x300 Joseph Farah says he may sue Esquire for ‘parody’ story on Jerome Corsi book

An article on Esquire magazine’s website, claiming that the publisher of Jerome Corsi’s new book about President Obama’s birth certificate is pulling it from bookstores, may have been written as a parody, but not everyone is laughing.

The Esquire story, written by Mark Warren, spread across the Internet moments after being posted on the magazine’s website Wednesday morning. Esquire has said it was a joke and Warren told TheDC  he has no regrets about posting it.

“He is an execrable piece of shit,” Warren said of Corsi.

    If its in print that Corsi was pulling the book off the shelves when he isn't then sue Esquire by all means and use the money to putout another book.

    • Corsi, is apparently hitting a nerve and someone is trying to stop him. Thanks to Esquires blunder in publishing Mark Warrens garbage, they will most likely end up in a lawsuit. I hope Corsi sues Esquire and Warren, for false information and for loss of book sales. Does George Soros, also have Esquire in his pocket, as he does the lame street media? This administration, gets the soft glove treatment from MSNBC< ABC<CNN<NBC and CBS,as well as the New York Times, and a host of others. Fox News, is hated by Obama and friends, and the question is why? Is it because Fox's program commentators ,like Beck 's informing US citizens of things the administration does not want made public. I think the answer is Yes!

      • "they will most likely end up in a lawsuit"

        Highly unlikely–even Joe Farah knows enough media law to know that it's virtually impossible to successfully sue over a parody, or to collect damages if you're a public figure.

        And you do know that Beck's show has been dumped by Fox, right?

        • James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen of The Western Center For Journalism

          James it would be wise on your part that is if you can be wise to not doubt that Joe Farah just might sue.

          Further what facts do you have that Fox dumped Beck's show ? Mosst likely you have none !

          • "it would be wise on your part … to not doubt that Joe Farah just might sue."

            Why, Cougar–will he sue me, too, for my doubts? :-) That is about as likely to be successful.

            "what facts do you have that Fox dumped Beck's show ?"

            Gee, it was in all the papers. Maybe you ought to read something.

          • James McPherson The Cut & Paste queen of the western Center For Journalism

            James what a dumb comment by you ! Why would Joe Farah sue you ? Lol you have nothing to sue for !

            Gee it was in all of the papers dummy but no mention was ever made that Fox dumped Beck's program ! James are you sure that you weren't reading The Funny Paper ?

          • James McPherson the Cut & Paste Queen

            James as usual you cut & run when you know you are wrong!

          • In short, you're lying again, Cougar.

            And as long as you keep offering copy-and-paste insults and lies rather than rational discussion, Cougar, I'll keep pasting links to prove that you're a liar: Perhaps folks will want to start here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….

        • niteowl says:

          While it is true that it's difficult to sue over a parody, it's also true that you can sue for libel when false accusations are made in print. Consider the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell:

          "…Hustler magazine's parody of Jerry Falwell was deemed to be within the law, because the Court found that reasonable people would not have interpreted the parody to contain factual claims…"

          The premise of Mark Warren's article, is that Barack Obama's eligibility is evident, and thus would lead Jerome Corsi (and his publisher, Joseph Farah), to pull the book off the stands.

          Thus, in order to qualify as a "parody", you would have to concede that no reasonable person could believe that Barack Obama is eligible to be president. Otherwise, Warren's article is not a parody; it is a malicious attempt to injure Corsi (and Farah) professionally and financially.

          • It is also tough for a public figure to sue for libel, which is why the National Enquirer and most blogs are able to survive. And there's no denying that Corsi is a public figure, or that Joe Farah has worked very hard to make himself one.

    • Sue; then depose, depose, depose–especially the Hawaii Department of Health, etc.

  2. barbiebuns says:

    With Language like Warren's he has no credability. Anyone that writes like that means nothing to me and I won't read it. It shows just how much he knows about the English language.

  3. Farquart says:

    Pretty obvious that Warren is an Obama worshipper, right?

  4. Duke-Jinx says:

    I was going to order the book… but I saw the article that it had been pulled. So I didn't try. I didn't find out the story was bunk until just now.

    There's your element of Harm Joe… get 'em.

  5. dm shore says:

    Fuck Mark Warren, and all the rest of the traitors who had a hand in bypassing our constitution.Just so the son of a bitch understands how normal Americans feel- there are places where he wouldn't say that and enjoy the aftermath.

  6. jpatchvegas says:

    Have read the actual article on the Esquire website. Considering this was supposed to be a parody, aren't parodies supposed to be funny? This piece of trash shows more of the same blindness toward the whole issue by the leftstream media. Numerous inconsistencies in the document finally presented sure indicate that its just an inexpensive fake …. $2 million to prevent the document from being shown, and $50 bucks to have a really bad forgery made. Why not dismiss all the "silliness" from the start, if there was a legitimate document on file in Hawaii. So much for a transparent administration.

  7. Dwight Mann says:

    “He is an execrable piece of shit,” Warren said of Corsi.
    THEM THAR IS FIGHTING WORDS. . .

  8. The Dumbocrats are getting more and more desperate and things are going to get worse. The more afraid of something they are, the more they smear, lie and ridicule them. Dr. Corsi's book has them dribbling down their legs. Way to go, Dr. Corsi!

    If you want to p*** off a conservative, tell them a lie. If you want to p*** off a liberal, tell them the truth!

  9. There is some evidence that the birth certificate document does exist …… in a sealed envelope that needs a court order to be opened. If this is true then there should be another document that has never been seen to testify that the original was modified by adoption. Jerome Corsi has cast light into dark corners and the roaches are disturbed,

    If this is true it would explain a lot of what has been published to blind us to that fact. I am not near as much concerned about where
    Barry was born or who his father was as I am about what he bacame and what he is now. What seems quite apparent is that this nation …. not our government, which is complicit, has gleefully bought a pig in a poke and then trying to tell everyone they got the goose that lays the golden eggs at a real bargain. It is the customer who buys our products than provides employment. The government has no power to stimulate business nor will capital help if the market does not exist.

    Since the administration thinks we get rich by magic as told in the fairy tales they miss the point of those fairy tales that such magic does not exist and is detrimental to the practitioner of said magic.

    The government can print all the money they like but they cannot charge that battery out of thin air. It takes consumption to stimulate production and when this is allowed to work we prosper. Since WW 2 there have been experiments in cloud seeding to get rain where it is wanted but we found that interfering with nature had unwanted consequences. Our government is still trying to control nature and the unwanted consequences are stackiing up.

    • Magnum05 says:

      Whit: Don't believe the BS that there is a real Birth Certificate from Hawaii. His Real birth Certificate is from Kenya. There is far more evidence, he was NOT born in Hawaii then there is that he was born there.. Out people in Congress & our Courts are traitors for not forcing a thorough investigation of this right from the start, & the fact that they are accepting this phoney copy with no further investigation, shows you just how corrupt the people in Washington D C really are, especially the old time incumbants of both parties.

  10. Richard says:

    Typical, and indicative of the degenerative minds of those at Esquire.

  11. Ok, with all the information about this trumped(<excuse the pun) up birth certificate when is someone going to do something with this information and get this guy out of office, or are they just going to talk about it? I am sick of reading how it is obvious that the BC is fake yet noone does anything about it.

  12. Goldbug36 says:

    The truth really hurts, doesn't it, Baby-Bam-Bam? Pretty-boy Hannity on FAUX NEWS invited Dr. Corsi, then dis-invited him just minutes before he was to appear. This evening, the little prick who's filling in for David Asman (the other little prick), interviewed Dr. Corsi with the sole intent to ridicule him and accuse him of writing trash only to sell books. Looks to me like they've all mastered Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Rule #5, ridicule your opposition. Barry will again be placed in office for another four years to finish destroying our economy, currency and Constitution .. UNLESS a few million patriotic Americans descend on DC, surround surround the White House and Capital, and stay there until the USURPER is perp-walked out of the White House in cuffs and leg irons.

    • "UNLESS a few million patriotic Americans descend on DC"

  14. Not on;y Esquire but Obama's OFA machine. OFA AKA Obama for America is sending out emails Not only degrading Corsi's book, but also offering mugs or T-Shirts with "Made in the USA" with Obama's picture on them while asking for donations. The most disgusting behavior I have ever seen of a sitting president.

    One of the most intelligent posts I have ever read….. however, I fear that during the time of turmoil, the perfect storm of all predictions of Marx's model, out of conflict comes a move to redefine or place a dictator into a socialist government. It could get nasty. Don't come South looking for Federal help, the sovereignty game is too big down here. I would like to see each state re-challenge for secession until this whole ugly game blows over and a decent election and decent Congress is replaced and told to go home and don't come back.

  18. Mark Warren at Esquire has brought nothing but grief to the publication. Esquire's policy prior to the 2008 election was to not endorse any candidates in elections. With Mark Warren's insistence & influence Esquire for the first time endorsed Obama for the 2008 election & Esquire's circulation took a nosedive
    & Esquire's circulation continues to fall to this day.

  20. To the Libs that come here to be smart asses I have few questions for you. Why was breeding our population to 300 million by the year 2000 (which did not happen) a deathly bad thing but importing our population to 442 million is a good thing? The nation of Islam teaches to over populate the entire world, why are you silent on this religious goal? Why should we house and feed a religion that seeks to push out all nations and all other religions via population over growth? Does your hate for proud Americans (that still come from every corner of the world) outweigh your love for the planet?

    Protect your right to self-preservation. We must stand together as one. Only those with a strong will to maintain numbers and a defensive army will prosper. The more people that engage in distraction first and the best of the bad second the easier it is for the focused.

  21. I'm sure John the flip flop Kerry feels exactly that way also……..Warren have you checked your own breath lately?

  22. Amazing. I want to live in a country with Objective journalists that simply report the facts to the people. I think I need to go to another planet.

  23. A parody about the book? I THINK NOT, I think it was the left wing loons way of sabotaging sales of the book to protect Obummer. The truth is out, the so called long form birth cert if a fraud. They Demorats will stop at nothing to protect this illegal president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Mark warren is a piece of shit, and just another yellow journalist working for a rag magazine that I for one will never again pick up, if these liberal goons would open their eyes what a revelation they might find, the annointed one is more crooked than nixon ever thought about being and thats saying a lot!!

  26. Is there a link to the actual article. Does Warren say it is a parody at the beginning of the article? If not, then he meant to deceive.

    Also he out & out right lied as the book was not released until the 17th so how could they be pulled off the shelves.

    • No, it doesn't say "parody" at the beginning, and it wasn't clearly enough marked for those with poor comprehension skills. Esquire writes for its audience, not for WND's.

      Esquire readers (who would have been unlikely to buy Corsi's book in the first place, except as a gag gift) would have been tipped off by such lines as, "a reflective Farah, who wrote the book's foreword and also published… Capricorn One: NASA, JFK, and the Great "Moon Landing" Cover-Up,'" and the "quote" from a "WND source" saying: "He called up Corsi and really tore him a new one… I mean, we'll do anything to hurt Obama, and erase his memory, but we don't want to look like fucking idiots, you know? Look, at the end of the day, bullshit is bullshit."

      Please pardon the profanity, but I wanted to portray it accurately.

      • James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen !

        Facts are that Esquire doesn't have the kind of circulation which it had prior to endorsing candidates in the 20008 elections specifically Obama.

        James your immature rant & comedy of a statement just further substantiates that you are indeed a liar whom will resort or stoop to any level to try to discredit Corsi or any other conservative.

    Here is yet another posting without merit from a Harvard purveyor of Communism, with fantastical command of the English language. Lets see! A socialist, a community organizer, an Harvard consultant (to teach them how to be more Communist!) An execrable anti-American.

    Another question must be: Why are there so many Communists working at Harvard (and Columbia and Berkley) teaching our children this anti-American trash? It certainly lowers the standing of what once was the premier scholastic institution in the country. Parents, Harvard isn't what it used to be. Think twice before you send your children there. Harvard, you really have some explaining to do, and apologies to make.

  31. That could be right. I honestly don't keep close track of those rallies; I just knew there had been a few. But perhaps I should have simply substituted the words "tea party" for "birther" in my original comment, as in: "Considering that recent tea party rallies have been lucky to draw a few dozen people, I don't like your odds. ;-) "
