Help, please: 2016: Obama's America.

[davidwparker]

All, I need some quick help. I just came from a restaurant that I frequent and someone told me about the subject movie. I said that I would google it when I got home.

I just looked at a trailer and it looks like an O hit piece. This is surprising because of the one who told me to look at it is left-leaning.

This board has wonderful, left insight, so I was wondering what you think of this and is it a hit piece. I see that is based of Dinesh D'souza's work, which I tend to discount. I post this because I am surprised my friend asked me to view this with "an open mind."

What is this board's comments about this film. I will show her what you post.

To be upfront: I live in VA and will vote a straight DEMOCRATIC ticket in 2012.

Shalom.

3. Thank you so much. I will send this to her on her FB mail right now in addition

to sharing this all the feedback when I go to the restaurant on Saturday.

Just from watching the trailer, it gave me the creeps.

2. Hit piece. Debunked by AP.

4. I think it even goes beyond just a hit piece

it's in conspiracy theory land.

5. Answer: this won't appeal to anyone who isn't an anti-Obama voter already

Remember "Fahrenheit 9/11"? How many independent voters saw it?

8. And That Movie Raked In About 10 Times What This Steaming Pile Has

I just watched "Fahrenheit 9/11" the other day and it actually made me physically ill. When I went to see it, I had such high hopes that we were going to rise up and send the worst President in our nation's history packing. Instead I had to endure 4 more years of that asshole's smirking face. I'm not kidding or exaggerating a bit to say that it took me a good 3 days after that election before I was even able to FUNCTION normally again. I literally felt like someone had just died.

6. Ask people in Pakistan if they think Obama is bending over backwards to help Muslims

Or Yemen, or any of the other places where drone strikes have been taking out civilians as well as suspected terrorists.

11. On D'SOUZA, go full monty with the *tending to discount* - he's a wingnut thug: discount AWAY

He's one of Laura INGRAHAM's either ex-boyfriends or at least one of her degenerate Flying Monkeys during their Darthmouth days. See "Blinded by the Right" by David BROCK. INGRAHAM's festering cesspool of pals were into Outing Gays with flyers, demeaning and ridiculing disabled people, and whatever political dirty tricks. INGRAHAM is described as boozed out of her mind crawling on all fours across barroom floors and holding guns to the temples of boyfriends who dumped her.

Our wonderful media writers because of their "fairness" keep referring to D'SOUZA as a "Conservative SCHOLAR." He is a propagandist. There are scads of reviews and columns debunking his various posits against OBMA (the "anti-colonialist" bit) and his methods of argument (citing "evidence" that turns out not to be any kind of evidence), and the conspiracy theorizing. But a cogent wingnut, and there are a few, said he can base his disagreement with the OBAMA/Lib agenda on his (the wingnut's) believing it to be WRONG withOUT lowering into demonizing the way D'SOUZA does.
