I have not seen Dinesh D’Souza’s “Obama 2016.” It’s not because of idealogical reasons. I may be a diehard Dem, but I love me some propaganda-porn. The wing-smuttier the better. And from what I hear, D’Souza’s diatribe is chock full of bat-scat crazy. Like right up there with 2Girls1Ballot Box, Debbie Does the DNC, and Mitt Romney’s Magical Mystical Underpants: The XXX Parody. It’s just that I’ve been sick. And so I’ve missed out on the surprise blockbuster of the season.
Today, however, I got my first taste of D’Souza’s particular brand of snake-oil partisan salesmanship, thanks to an op-ed the filmmaker penned for Fox News. In it, D’Souza bemoans the fact that no one nowhere has ever bothered to criticize President Barack Obama for using the N-word in his much celebrated memoir, “Dreams of My Father.” Gasp.
D’Souza writes:
In one of the most remarkable passages in Barack Obama’s “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” he uses the terms “collaborator,” “Uncle Tom,” and “House nigger” to describe someone he detests. That someone, it turns out, is his own grandfather! We have a striking phenomenon here: the first African American president using the N-word, and to refer to his own grandfather! Ordinarily this would be occasion for massive comment and analysis, but if there has been any, I am not aware of it.
…
The N word has been reclaimed by black people, its fine for them to use it. Its not ok for ignorant old white men, like you.
I love how much Shambhala enjoys a legitimate context in which to put the N-word in a headline. “Snake-oil partisan salesmanship” indeed.
Why fight this fight about Obama, it seems he’s got no birth certificate.
Why are you fighting for a good-for-nothing like this?
Don’t you have any values yourself?
Honesty is the greatest value.
That’s why our Messengers of the Apocalypse’s name is the “Army of Truth”.
“In the Apocalypse all things hidden will be revealed” (Bible) starting by Obama’s birth certificate.
actually he showed his birth certificate AND the movie 2016: Obama’s America states that he was born in the US….so it must be true.
