They're all more than an hour from me but, there's a drive to get it on more screens and apparently it's been met with some success. I didn't listen close but, they apparently were able to get it from a double-digit number of screens to over 200 and now, they're shooting for 3,000 screens.

There's a website to request it at a theater near you, I just have to find it...I just assumed Austin would have one of the more than 200 that are showing it now and didn't write it down.

Is it being touted as a documentary? How factual is it and how much is spun fact?

You may have a valid point. We will not really know until we see it.

I have not seen it. But I've read Dinesh D'Sousa before and got a good enough idea from the trailer that this is just pablum for the people who get some weird sadistic pleasure out of thinking Barack Obama is ushering in the apocalypse.

Are you saying Obama is an Alien Life Form?

Joking aside, Obama really is controversial. He apologizes for America, which a president should never do. He caters to the lowest common denominator, wanting to steal the wealth of those pulling the cart and decrease their numbers. Then, increasing the payloads in the carts by adding more and more freebies to those not paying taxes. How long until there are not enough people to pull the carts?

If it's something that should never be done by a President, it would be something you remember and you shouldn't have to look it up.

I've certainly heard people SAY he's "apologizing for America" but the specific quotes never really bore that out in his actual comments. Usually the issue was more about him not going to foreign countries and saying "Fuck y'all we're America, and might is right. Obama out, bitches. U-S-A! U-S-A!"

Less than a minute in and the video is full of shit. Obama wants America downsized? That's why he helped topple Ghaddify and is now aiding Syrian rebels right? That also explains our current military expansion in Asia. His foreign policy is a more efficient version of George W. Bush's policy.

It blows my mind when the Obama haters try and claim he is the most liberal president ever. He signed a stimulus plan loaded with tax cuts. He signed a health care plan drawn up by conservatives. He signed an extension of the Bush tax cuts (wasn't for it, but signed it). The guy has governed as a moderate Republican.

None of the major pieces of the liberal agenda have been passed. No single payer health care. No public option. No real financial regulation (lol Dodd-Frank). As a liberal, I have been very disappointed with what he has been able to accomplish, and I didn't have unrealistic expectations like some going in. Obama has been far more moderate than I would have anticipated, and he is getting slammed as the second coming of Hugo Chavez? And conservatives wonder why they are painted as racist...

Wild Cobra
08-11-2012, 12:12 AM
Just came back from watching the show. It's pretty good. It is in no way a partisan hitpiece like what Michael Moore does. It is well done and thorough, all fact, and no birther stuff. I challenge all you liberals to watch it and find fault in the facts presented.

It's mostly a history of Obama's life from his books and people in Obama's life. D'Souza actually talks to many of the people alive that knew Obama and his parents. He uses from what I'm guessing, Obama's own words from his books on tape as well.

I would say that he presents a peek into Obama that no one has ever considered before. The picture he paints is the Obama is anti-colonialist. D'Souza relates to this well being from India, and follows the traces of Obamas past.

Hint...

Remember the number 47544.

For better or worse, the film mostly shows Obama as an anti-colonialist. On the surface, this is good, and especially to liberals. The conclusions of the film is where liberals might agree, but then again they might not.

No doubt. The problem is that in order to actually count, you gotta pick one or the other. Partisan hacks like you or Yoni don't matter, because you'll drone your asses an vote for the team.

He's not an isolationist, he's a non-interventionist, there's a difference... in fact, I'd say the real isolationists are Willard and Obama, two warmongers who will continue to drag our name through the mud abroad with their crap, tbh...

Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because they don't go up to your front porch and break down your door. America shouldn't do nation building and bullying countries into submission. That shit always come backs and fucks America in the ass. Wake up, people. And yes, I know Ron Paul is done.

Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because they don't go up to your front porch and break down your door. America shouldn't do nation building and bullying countries into submission. That shit always come backs and fucks America in the ass. Wake up, people. And yes, I know Ron Paul is done. He never really had a chance because the people that run America said fuck you to him.

I'm talking about economic policy... IIRC, back then he was talking about no trade agreements, etc... while I do agree that some trade agreements are non-beneficial, not everything falls in that category...

You described the film and it's absolutely disconnected with reality (as expected from a political hit piece). Again, were you lying?
No, I'm not lying. It's not disconnected.

The biggest problem anyone has winning against Obama is he is unpredictable. That is until you see him for his anti-colonial thoughts. This documentary brings this into view, like no one has ever seen before. Now I'm even not saying the anti-colonial ideology is wrong. In most ways, it's right. Seriously, you will have a better understanding of the man if you watch and listen to the facts and ignore the opinion parts. the difference of fact and opinion is clearly seen in the film. It isn't a slanderous film like Michael Moore would do.

It is a very well done and insightful film, and his brother George talks like a conservative!

For better or worse, the film mostly shows Obama as an anti-colonialist. On the surface, this is good, and especially to liberals.

:lol Barry unpredictable. Now I've heard it all.

He's the most predictable guy we've had in years. He'll propose something, chicken out, then proceed to "compromise" by giving up every concession in the book. ACA, debt ceiling, stimulus... all the same shit. And that's why he's right-lite. There's not single thing he didn't cave to the right about.

Well, I agree that it's not beneficial especially in times like right now with the unemployment like it is. But not all trade-agreements are that lopsided or inherently bad. You can make agreements where both nations benefit and gives both nations a competitive edge. As a matter of fact, a lot of nations do that, and not doing it can make you less competitive.

Obviously, if there's corruption in the dealings, then all bets are off.

Right now, not voting for R either. The election is in 90 days, and at this point I'm starting to think the center won't even be an afterthought. I disagree about waiting until after the convention, BTW. You normally have some sort of idea at this point where this is heading, and if there's anything there for you.

Johnny Lingo remade as major motion picture (http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/44292/Johnny-Lingo-remade-as-major-motion-picture.html); Church News; 9/6/03. Relavant quote:


"The Legend of Johnny Lingo" was co-produced by Jerry Molen and John Garbett, two former Hollywood film makers and members of the Church who believe that virtue is an attractive — albeit forgotten — segment of mainstream entertainment.
The wiki quote says:

Molen is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Someone could probably find history at some point that I attended a Mormon church, and call me a member. That in no way makes me an active member.

That was pretty brutal on the senses, especially the part where the robot voice mentioned that our founders had a dream for America to expand so as to help liberty expand. I highly doubt they envisioned the Vietnam/Iraq/Afghan wars or Wall Street running amok to be part of that dream. It is beyond me that anyone can claim America has NOT overstepped the boundaries of self-preservation into the land of selfish exceptionalism. We have no business doing a lot of the stupid shit we do around the world and in our own communities (pimping out other countries and our own inner-cities), and if scaling back on the stupidity means we're not "#1" in the world then so be it. If we're gonna be #1 at anything, let it be #1 in education, affordable healthcare, and the preservation of our lands. But obviously, that's not what this country is about so I dunno why the white people/conservatives are sooooo scared of Obama since he's only doing more of the same that GW did.

Yes, we have those elected in high places that do just that. I think you would agree that looking at candidates hard, instead of the sound bites we are exposed to is important. Would you agree that if a voter is not properly informed, they should not vote? How else would you fix that?

and if scaling back on the stupidity means we're not "#1" in the world then so be it. If we're gonna be #1 at anything, let it be #1 in education, affordable healthcare, and the preservation of our lands.

Does your claim of stupidity include ousting the Libyan the head of state, but not the ones in Syria or Iran when they are worse? Also supporting the efforts in Egypt, but not more radical places?


But obviously, that's not what this country is about so I dunno why the white people/conservatives are sooooo scared of Obama since he's only doing more of the same that GW did. It IS racism fueling these criticisms, no doubt.

It appears the same, but it's not. The reasons are different.

FRIDAY 2 PM: The anti-Obama movie 2016 Obama’s America went into wider release around America today and is opening right now in first place at the domestic box office. That’s quite a feat since the Rocky Mountain Pictures political documentary is still playing in only 1,090 North American theaters – or about 1/3 as many theaters as big-budget actioner The Expendables 2 (3,355 theaters)...

Yes, but his usage of "polemic" is incorrect. I disagree with his first two paragraph as related to the movie.

In the next to last paragraph, he improperly interprets what the film says. The film clearly states the idea Obama has of his father is from his mother.

Futurology


The "GOP is extreme" narrative finally reached your inbox. What's extreme about the GOP platform this year?

It started way before this year... but this platform doubles-down on the same idiocy: attempting to impose their clerical bullshit on everyone else as far as same-sex marriage and abortion is concerned, more trickle-down economics, shredding the safety nets, more money to the MIC, the irrational stance that tax cuts is all that matters.

What I'd like Mitt to talk about in order to get my vote would have to include: when Gitmo is going to be closed, where does Mitt stands on assassination of americans by executive order, when are we pulling the fuck out of Afghanistan, when does he stand on the massive spying of americans, what is he going to do to get Congress working again if he can't have a majority on both chambers...

But none of these topics are seemingly nearly as important as "lets beat that muslim negro! rah rah rah!"

This is where "2016: Obama’s America" switches into high polemic/propaganda mode. In the final third or so of the film, the filmmakers opine that Obama shares his father’s more radical political beliefs. As evidence, they point to many of his admitted political mentors, including the late communist journalist Frank Marshall Davis, the liberation theology minister, Jeremiah Wright, the late anti-Israel/Western academic Edward Said, unrepentent ’60s terrorist-turned-academic Bill Ayers, and others. As a result, the film argues that President Obama wants to significantly reduce the U.S.’s influence within the world while increasing the influence of nations that he believes have suffered or been held back economically or militarily due to U.S. and western dominance. To argue his case, D’Souza interviews conservative scholars, including Shelby Steele and Daniel Pipes. He also interviews several leftist academics who echo the anti-colonial views that he believes Obama learned from his father and mentors.

Show me a lie in 2016.

Why do you keep coming back to this? Who said there were any outright lies? I'm sure it's a painstakingly sourced film, but those sources are used to make assumptions that are colored by a comically incredulous view of Obama.

"Name any lie in the movie" is the same thing NBADan used to say when people told him Fahrenheit 9/11 was nothing more than a liberal hit piece exploiting people's comically incredulous view of Bush.

Considering 1995 is probably older than IMDB, I wouldn't go by their ratings.

I suppose when a movie critic tells you a movie is thumbs down, you don't watch it either.

Not really... but imdb does have a public voting system, that beats any individual critic, IMO.

I've seen my good share of turd movies regardless... unfortunately, movies have largely shifted into the horror crap, and good flicks are hard to come by these days...

Well, if you like comedy, watch Canadian bacon if you have a chance.

Actually...

Looks like the whole thing is here:

I'll have to take your word for it. I don't care. That movie wasn't made for me and neither is this one.

FACT CHECK: Anti-Obama film muddy on facts

By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press


http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_CVN_2016_OBAMAS_AMERICA_FACT_CHECK?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-08-28-03-20-56
WASHINGTON (AP) -- "2016: Obama's America," a new conservative film exploring the roots of President Barack Obama's political views, took in $6.2 million to make it one of the highest-grossing movies of last weekend. The film, written and narrated by conservative scholar Dinesh D'Souza, argues that Obama was heavily influenced by what D'Souza calls the "anti-colonial" beliefs of his father, Barack Obama Sr., a Kenyan academic who was largely absent from the president's life.

To document that claim, D'Souza travels to Kenya to interview members of Obama's extended family as well as to Hawaii and Indonesia, where Obama grew up. He also cites several actions and policy positions Obama has taken to support the thesis that Obama is ideologically rooted in the Third World and harbors contempt for the country that elected him its first black president.

The assertion that Obama's presidency is an expression of his father's political beliefs, which D'Souza first made in 2010 in his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage," is almost entirely subjective and a logical stretch at best.

It's true that Obama's father lived most of his life in Kenya, an African nation once colonized by the British, and that Obama's reverence for his absent father frames his best-selling memoir. D'Souza even sees clues in the book's title: "Notice it says `Dreams From My Father,' not `of' my father," D'Souza says.
But it's difficult to see how Obama's political leanings could have been so directly shaped by his father, as D'Souza claims. The elder Obama left his wife and young son, the future president, when Obama was 2 and visited his son only once, when Obama was 10. But D'Souza frames that loss as an event that reinforced rather than weakened the president's ties to his father, who died in a car crash when Obama was in college.

D'Souza interviews Paul Vitz, a New York University psychologist who has studied the impact of absent fathers on children. In Obama's case, Vitz says, the abandonment meant "he has the tension between the Americanism and his Africanism. He himself is an intersection of major political forces in his own psychology."

From there, the evidence D'Souza uses to support his assertion starts to grow thin.

D'Souza says Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, shared his father's left-leaning views. After living in Indonesia for several years, D'Souza said, Dunham sent the younger Obama to live with his grandparents in Hawaii so he would not be influenced by her second husband, Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian who worked for American oil companies and fought communists as a member of the Indonesian army.

"Ann separates Barry from Lolo's growing pro-Western influence," D'Souza says in the film. Obama has said his mother had sent him back to Hawaii so he would be educated in the United States.

In Hawaii, D'Souza asserts with no evidence, Obama sympathized with native Hawaiians who felt they had been marginalized by the American government when Hawaii was becoming a state. D'Souza also asserts - again with no evidence - that Obama had been coached to hold those views at Punahou, the prestigious prep school he attended in Honolulu.

"Oppression studies, if you will. Obama got plenty of that when he was here in Punahou," D'Souza says, standing on the campus.

In Kenya, D'Souza interviews Philip Ochieng, a lifelong friend of the president's father, who claims the elder Obama was "totally anti-colonial." Ochieng also discloses some of his own political views, complaining about U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Iraq and saying the U.S. refuses to "tame" Israel, which he calls a "Trojan horse in the Middle East." D'Souza seems to suggest that if a onetime friend of Obama's late father holds those opinions, so too must the president himself.D'Souza then goes through a list of actions Obama has taken as president to support his thesis. Many of them don't hold water:

- D'Souza rightly argues that the national debt has risen to $16 trillion under Obama. But he never mentions the explosion of debt that occurred under Obama's predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, nor the 2008 global financial crisis that provoked a shock to the U.S. economy.

- D'Souza says Obama is "weirdly sympathetic to Muslim jihadists" in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He does not mention that Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and the drone strikes that have killed dozens of terrorists in the region.

-D'Souza wrongly claims that Obama wants to return control of the Falkland Islands from Britain to Argentina. The U.S. refused in April to endorse a final declaration on Argentina's claim to the islands at the Summit of the Americas, provoking criticism from other Latin American nations.

-D'Souza says Obama has "done nothing" to impede Iran's nuclear ambitions, despite the severe trade and economic sanctions his administration has imposed on Iran to halt its suspected nuclear program. Obama opposes a near-term military strike on Iran, either by the U.S. or Israel, although he says the U.S. will never tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran.

- D'Souza says Obama removed a bust of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Oval Office because Churchill represented British colonialism. White House curator William Allman said the bust, which had been on loan, was already scheduled to be returned before Obama took office. Another bust of Churchill is on display in the president's private residence, the White House says.

The Associated Press journalist is skewing the truth. Fact is, most of the material comes from Obama's own words.

So there's really no conjecture or interpretation on D'Sousa's part? The movie is just D'Sousa sitting down and reading Obama's writings? That sounds like a really boring movie.

No, there is some conjecture.

Tell you what. Watch the movie, and tell me what alternative ideas you have to what Obama means in his passages.

And... It appears that he used the tape book versions. All the book passages are in Obama's voice, he was the "reader" for his books on tape.
