ASPEN, Colo.—John McCain’s presidential campaign says they have no comment about a controversial book that attacks Barack Obama and many say is riddled with errors.
Jerome Corsi’s book, “The Obama Nation,” depicts the Democratic candidate as a dangerous, radical figure filled with “black rage.” It repeats numerous falsehoods, such as the claim that Obama, who is a Christian, is a Muslim.
An Associated Press reporter tried to ask McCain for a comment today in Aspen. McCain smiled and said, “gotta keep your sense of humor.”
Campaign spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan says McCain did not hear the question, and the campaign had no comment.
The Obama campaign and its allies have criticized the book forcefully and say it is inaccurate.
Some independent groups, including Catholics United, have called on McCain to condemn Corsi’s book.
