Just saw a TV ad for a movie called "2016," supposedly "the truth"

about Obama. That tool Dinesh D'Souza is behind it. I think I smell a Swiftboating.

I'm in Boulder, CO for work and this is one of the many certifiable ads I've seen. On MSNBC, no less, the Conservative Majority Fund has run ads about Obama and the UN taking our guns away, and a hotline number to add your name to a petition to have him removed from the ballot because he's foreign born.

Watching Colbert skewer him is still one of my all-time favourite Colbert moments, even though it happened more than 5 years ago.

I saw the ad too - how worried should we be? Are people going to see this tripe, and believe it?

Obama supporters won't go to it. Obama haters will. I kind of doubt many undecided voters (who must be blazingly stupid - how can anybody be undecided at this point??) will go, either, since it seems they are generally not very interested in politics. Its influence probably will be negligible - it just pisses me off that people like D'Souza can get away with such slick lies.

I haven't heard anything about it - which is not surprising since everyone knows I am an Obama girl.

because it would have been prejudicial before the election? And now this.
They are just so shameless. I am perpetually amazed by it.

I'm sure this is the GOP version of 2004's Fareneit 9/11. Look at how much difference that made in the election. It will be filled with all of the same crapola the GOP/Teaturds have been spewing for years.

...in that Fahrenheit 911 was largely, if not entirely, true.

I haven't seen 2016, but I know D'Souza, and he lies.

Nevada man shifts in his theater seat, accidentally shoots himself

Sometimes the town of Sparks, Nev., located just outside Reno in the state’s northern reaches, still seems like a Wild West holdout featuring the ghosts of all those shoot-'em-up cowboys.
