Under the radar: Slimy, disgusting DVD sent to millions in swing states
So this is what its come to.
After four years of invective, four years during which the right has called President Obama a traitor, a communist, a fraud, an affirmative-action case, a terrorist-sympathizer, and a tyrant, its shrillest voices have been reduced to the most primal insult of all. They are calling Obamas mother a whore.
For a while now, pictures purporting to show Obamas mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, modeling in 1950s bondage and fetish porn have been floating around the darker corners of the Internet. Now, though, theyve made their way into a pseudo-documentary, Joel Gilberts Dreams From My Real Father, which is being mailed to voters in swing states, promoted by several Tea Party groups and by at least one high-level Republican. At the same time, Dinesh DSouzas latest book, Obamas Americathe first of all his works to hit the top spot on The New York Times bestseller listhas a chapter essentially calling Dunham a fat slut. If Obama is reelected, its hard to imagine where the right goes from here.
Its tempting to ignore Dreams From My Real Father because its so preposterous. The movie claims that Obamas actual father was the poet and left-wing activist Frank Marshall Davis, who Dunham met through her father, who was a CIA agent merely posing as a furniture salesman. My election was not a sudden political phenomenon, says the narrator, speaking as if he were Obama reading his autobiography. It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that my real father, Frank Marshall Davis, nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii, and has been quietly infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities, and media for decades.
