[Mkap]

Dinesh is an idiot. Apparently anyone who writes a book is considered an intellectual.

How far up your ass did you have to pull that LOL

This guy simply has zero credibility.

28. "Virtue of Prosperity"?

"Do I make you Randian?"

[SunSeeker]

2. I had no idea D'Souza prompted Maher's "terrorists aren't cowards line."

So I watched the video to the end and found out it was Dinesh D'Souza who originally said that terrorists aren't cowards--while sitting across from Bill Maher on the old Politically Correct show. And Bill Maher was simply agreeing with him on that point, at least with regard to the 9/11 hijackers. And as Bill Maher points out, the backlash, including from the Bush White House, was all against Bill Maher, not against the little known (at the time) conservative guy who originally said it. Of course, D'Souza laid low after that and never spoke out publicly in defense of Bill Maher. D'Souza is a horrible person.

[WinstonSmith4740]

3. Totally agree!

"D'Souza is a horrible person".

I remember that show, and writing ABC after all the bullshit hit the fan. All you really need to know about D'Souza is that he and Coulter used to date.

I really enjoyed this episode. I'll bet that Maher has been waiting a long time to unload on this jerk.

[Vestigial_Sister]

9. WTF

All you really need to know about D'Souza is that he and Coulter used to date.

so D'Souza's gay?

[CheapShotArtist]

17. No

[SunSeeker]

18. D'Souza and Coulter dated?! Aagh... I need mind bleach!

[JTFrog]

27. Although they won't confirm, Maher and Coulter are known to have dated as well. n/t

[bongbong]

30. Yes, but...

Maher probably was the top (and high/drunk) when he was with mAnn.

D'Souza was POSITIVELY a very wimpy bottom, who most likely needed really good humiliation, etc before he could get it up.

[JHB]

19. D'Sousa wasn't "little known" at the time. That's why he was on the show.

He was actually the first big name among the generation of young conservative activists/pundits/propagandists/hacks to come out of conservative-funded college organizations in the 80s. (For D'Sousa it was the Danforth Review, one of a number of college papers founded to be low-level National Reviews.)

D'Sousa has spent his entire adult life in an ivory tower, except it's made of smellier stuff than ivory.

[kenfrequed]

32. Maher was a saint

Seriously, I doubt that I would have had the patience to deal with that lying rat. Still, I suppose Bill Maher actually has a better gig these days but he was persona non grata for awhile and were it me, I would have made D'Souza pay for it.

[Smilo]

4. Dinesh Douche

How Bill Maher could sit there with that lying sack of crap I honestly don't know.

More power to you Bill.

[limpyhobbler]

6. I don't know how this guy can look himself in the mirror

pathetic.

He must be getting PAID.

[NYC Liberal]

7. Bill got him good on the "You don't know Obama" crap.

"But YOU do? Have you ever talked to him?"
"No but..."
"Have you ever talked to him?"
"No"
"And yet YOU understand him?"

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. I swear, Bill verbally knocked this guy's teeth in.

That was a thing of beauty.

[Douglas Carpenter]

10. Dinesh D'Souza is simply a mainstream Republican in today's Republican Party

He is simply stating clearly what and how most - the clear majority - of today's Republicans see the world in their reality inoculated alternative universe where all kinds of crazy notion are simply taken as established facts.

[billky]

11. Whose money is behind this?

Has anybody bothered to ask or find out? I want to know if he was born here or did our government give him citizenship?

[erpowers]

12. India

Dinesh D'Souza said himself he grew up in India.

[truth2power]

16. Not to nitpick, but Bilky's question was,

was D'Souza BORN in India, and thus, did the American govt. give him a leg up, so to speak, by giving him citizenship.

Yes, he was born in Mumbai, Maharashta, India, 4/25/61.

I'm not trying to be snarky, here. It's just that I get annoyed that these "less-government" whiners conveniently forget what the government's done to benefit their a**.

[SunSeeker]

20. I'd like to know how the hell D'Souza got his green card, let alone citizenship.

The reason we have so much illegal immigration in this country is because it is nearly impossible to legally get a green card. There is a stingy quota set for each country and the amount of people who apply vastly outnumbers those slots. Then your only options, other than coming here illegally, are (1) marry an American or (2) develop an important skill unfilled by Americans that an American company needs and will hire you for or (3) win one of the few "lottery" slots.

I'm guessing his family has money, came in under the skill option, and he came over with them as a child.

[truth2power]

25. Well, this will make you sick. According to Wikipedia

his father was an executive with Johnson & Johnson. D'Souza came to America as an exchange student in 1978 through a Rotary International program. He never returned to India to live.

My question is, how did he get citizenship? Just being an exchange student doesn't entitle you to stay, I wouldn't think.

But scrolling down that Wiki page I encountered something about D'Souza that's truly alarming. Under the heading "Abu Ghraib" he's quoted as saying:

"With regard to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse, D'Souza asserted that the abuse to the prisoners was due to the "sexual immodesty of liberal America" and that Abu Ghraib reflected "the values of a debauched liberalism run amok." Dinesh also claims that had Charles Graner and Lynndie England been "professors at an elite liberal arts college, their videotaped orgies might easily have become the envy of academia. If they were artists staging these pictures in a loft in SoHo they could have been hailed as pioneers and encouraged by leftist admirers to apply for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts."[40] "

What an ignorant and disgraceful thing to say. "videotaped orgies..the envy of academia"? Oh, puke!

When abu Ghraib was daily in the news I repeatedly commented about the strangely pervasive sexual material in the photos. It wasn't until I heard Chris Hedges state in an interview that the incidents at abu Ghraib were straight out of Gonzo porn that I felt validated. It's my opinion that the videotapes were viewed by Rummy, Cheney et. al. and that the prisoners weren't the only ones doing the masturbating.

And for D'Souza to blame it on liberals? What an effing lowlife!!! Ugh!

[SunSeeker]

29. Being an exchange student does not bestow you with a green card.

How did this vermin get a green card, let alone citizenship?

[Panasonic]

24. Revoke his citizenship, arrest him

and have him deported to Uttar Pradesh, India and is persona non grata in the United States of America. If Dinesh wants to peddle his bullshit, take it to his own people.

Just don't make us a part of your problem, Dinesh.

13. Dinesh Propaqandist

Man oh man is that guy a despicable little lying weasel. Why do these righties have no basic sense of decency the lot of them? How can they sleep at night?

Oh, right, I forgot, they're all fucking sociopaths incapable of shame or empathy.

I'm impressed with Bill. He's a quick sharp guy that generally has his facts right and can spew them instantly as required to refute these lying scum. I wish I didn't have a ten minute delay on my mind to mouth coordination. I'd be creamed in a debate.

Bill also routinely has righties as guests, witness this episode with the repellant Ron Christie, a mere inept Goebbels wanna-be.

Rachel solicits righties for guests all the time. She never gets them, as they know in a battle of wits with Rachel, they would come off as completely unarmed.

15. God, what a fucking idiot ! Poor guy going up against someone who actually

stands up to his BS. Never had a chance. Took a second attempt to get through it ; felt like I was in danger of losing an IQ point for every second D'Souza's lips started moving.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

21. What a fugging IDIOT. If he and Coulter put their two brain half cells together..

...they still couldn't manage an intelligent thought. What absolute intellectual sludge. Really.

"Obama wouldn't adopt Republican plans because he considered them the bad guys"... yadda yadda



THE ENTIRE HEALTHCARE PLAN WAS A REPUBLICAN PLAN - IT WAS MITT ROMNEY'S -- AND STILL THE REPUBLICANS WOULD NOT SUPPORT IT! THAT'S OBAMA'S FAULT -- HOW?

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. So he defends Colonialism while being brought up in India?

He says he went through the whole fighting for independence from Britain in India in one breath, and then denounces the anti-colonialism of Obama's father in Kenya? So I take it he would have rather seen Britain still ruling India with an iron fist today?

[JDPriestly]

23. Dinesh D'Souza -- what a creep.

D'Souza was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, to Goan Catholic parents from the state of Goa in Western India.[14] He arrived in the United States in 1978, originally through a Rotary International program, attending Patagonia Union High School in Patagonia, Arizona, and then Dartmouth College, where he graduated with a B.A. in English Phi Beta Kappa in 1983.[15][16][17]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza

Emigrates from a miserable country in which the poor are left to suffer from hunger, homelessness and disease until they die in misery and then he criticizes native-born American, Barack Obama, who exemplifies the compassion that is one of the best traits of the average American.

No, Dinesh D'Souza. It isn't socialism. It's the spirit of early Americans who struggled to build communities in which all would thrive, not just an elite caste of well educated or physically superior individuals.

Why don't you go preach your sick philosophy to the poor and starving on the streets of Calcutta. The last thing we need in America is your advice. We did fine without you.

I'm not usually anti-immigrant. I live in a city of immigrants and in a family with lots of immigrants. In fact, I'm the only person in my immediate family born in the US. But this guy Dinesh D'Souza should go back to where he came from because he will never understand America.

[rurallib]

26. What I loved about that interview was that Maher did not let D'Souza's lies

go without a quick and accurate (and assertive) response.
Jesus Christ I would love to see some "journalists" do that (Maddow, Hartmann, Goodman, etc. already do but they are exceptions)
- and maybe just one on NPR.

[Enrique]

31. I love how he confronts him over that 2001 episode

"you slipped away like a rat".
