Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016″: Feature-length Obama hate
Salon ^ | Jul 6, 2012 | Mariah Blake

Posted on 07/06/2012 1:48:31 PM PDT by Sudetenland

Dinesh D’Souza knows the value of a good controversy. After all, he has made a career of lobbing ideological hand grenades. In 2010, for instance, he published a book and an article in Forbes arguing that Barack Obama had embraced his father’s anticolonial fervor and was intentionally squandering America’s influence to put it on equal footing with the developing world. Critics were aghast. The Columbia Journalism Review called the Forbes piece “a fact-twisting, error-laden piece of paranoia” and a “singularly disgusting work,” while the conservative Weekly Standard assailed D’Souza’s “misstatements of fact, leaps in logic, and pointlessly elaborate argumentation.” Former Bush speechwriter David Frum weighed in, too, branding D’Souza’s book a “brazen outburst of race-baiting.”

Dinesh D’Souza why that is the name of some southern redneck who is white and hates Obama cause he is not white.

I am so sure of it...

That is how the MSM will “try” to paint Dinesh as being a racists or even worse a supposedly “self hating racist”....

Where is the Houston screening? Will it be a one-time screening or all week (or longer)?

Does it cost money to get on Salon?

I tried to register, thinking it would be fun to goad them a little. Tried to register but got the log on page instead. Couldn’t find a registration page.

Appears to be spot on now, doesn't it.

Except Dinesh was too generous in his assessment.

IMO, Obama is far more depraved than depicted in the book.

D’Sousa is a good man. Sometimes he writes about “uncomfortable” subjects. The left sees a Nazi in everybody who disagrees with them. They want to silence anyone who talks intelligently about their pet talking points like racism.

Many liberals are beside themselves with scorn and rage when conservatives label Obama a socialist. Fine. Then they can cite quotes from Obama indicating his support for free-market capitalism. Well, no they can't. We know about Obama's outright socialist upbringing and past. But we have no evidence whatsoever that Obama supports free-market economics. We do have him saying it's never worked.

Now what conclusions do we draw from someone with a socialist past, who dismisses the free market, states he wants to distribute the wealth, and has done all he can to accumulate government power over private industry? We call them SOCIALISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
