At last count, there are only four members of the dissident cell -- Peter Wehner, Ross Douthat, Jon Henke and John Hawkins -- conservatives who have broken ranks to harshly criticize Jerome Corsi's The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.

All four make the case that Corsi presents a greater danger to the conservative movement and the Republican Party than to Barack Obama -- that for the right to take Corsi under its collective wing represents a moral and intellectual failing. This breakaway faction does not pull its punches as it challenges the ideological orthodoxy of fellow travelers.

"The French Revolution produced the saying 'no enemies to the Left' -- a mindset that has poisoned both the Left and the Right in American politics. As a result, some figures who should be repudiated have, instead, become prominent representatives. On the Right, in particular, the 'go along to get along' approach has created a Movement where the bad guys are protected, and the people who get promoted are those who make friends, not waves," wrote Henke on thenextright.com.

"The continued tolerance and prominence of Jerome Corsi -- his books, columns and appearances," Henke continued, "is embarrassing for the Right, embarrassing for Republicans, embarrassing for conservatives and libertarians, embarrassing for all of us."

Although Jerome Corsi's book "The Obama Nation" has been out for just a brief period, it is already clear that it has failed to put a real dent in Senator Obama's candidacy. The book may sell to hardcore conservatives, but its electoral impact will be minimal.

Corsi co-authored "Unfit for Command," which did significant damage to Senator John Kerry's candidacy in 2004. Democrats feared a repeat in 08.

So what changed?

"The Obama Nation" contains no real revelation or new criticism about Senator Obama. "Unfit for Command" purported that Senator Kerry did not deserve his medals and was not really a war hero. This was a big, easily understood attack which went to the very heart of Senator Kerry's candidacy. In contrast, "The Obama Nation" contends that Senator Obama is a liberal. A Republican calls a Democrat a liberal? This is news? Who cares?

It was amusing/infuriating back in the day to hear the more moderate conservatarians hem and haw about how they didn't personally take the book as scripture but there were certainly valid points in there and Kerry did bring up his service in the first place and you don't want to dismiss it out of hand, do you?

It didn't play up the "He's a muslim terrorist!" angle enough, now that would have moved some books.

I don't see Republicans in general as interested in piling-on Obama as they were with Kerry.

Democrats don't have that problem when it comes to McCain however.
