Jerome (Jerry) R. Corsi is an author and conservative activist. Corsi is best known as co-author with John O'Neill of Unfit for Command. This book, written in cooperation with Swift Vets and POWs for Truth (formerly known as Swift Boat Veterans for Truth), is strongly critical of John Kerry's Vietnam War record. Most of its primary charges have been disproved.

Corsi holds a Ph.D. in political science from Harvard University. His 1972 dissertation was titled Prior Restraint, Prior Punishment, and Political Dissent; a Moral and Legal Evaluation.

Corsi has announced plans to move to Boston to contest John Kerry for his Senate seat in 2006.

Corsi has posted many articles to the conservative Free Republic web forum.[1] Critics contend that his contributions there demonstrate bias with regard to Kerry. In addition, many of his comments were widely perceived to be insensitive to gays as well as anti-Muslim, though Corsi claims that these postings were failed attempts at humor:

• First let's undermine the US in Vietnam. Then we can go for gay marriage. When you get to be Pres. JFK-lite, there will be no end to how much of America we can destroy. [2]
• Just don't let anybody put a tablet with the Ten Commandments in front of the school where that girl wants to wear a Muslim scarf -- OH, No --- then the RATS would complain. Anti-Christian, Anti-American -- just like their Presidential Candidate -- Jean Francois Kerrie. [3]
• After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal gradparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry? [4]
• Kerry has a long history of Communist supporters. [5]
• Kerry offers a clear choice. Anti-American hatred. [6]
• John F*ing Commie Kerry and Commie Ted [Kennedy] discuss their plan to hand America over to our nation's enemies. [7]
• Isn't the Democratic Party the official SODOMIZER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION of AMERICA -- oh, I forgot, it was just an accident that Clintoon's first act in office was to promote "gays in the military." RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together. [8]
