With ‘Dreams From My Real Father,’ Have Obama Haters Hit Rock Bottom?

[yeats]

So this is what it’s come to.

After four years of invective, four years during which the right has called President Obama a traitor, a communist, a fraud, an affirmative-action case, a terrorist-sympathizer, and a tyrant, its shrillest voices have been reduced to the most primal insult of all. They are calling Obama’s mother a whore.

Insults about someone's mother is NEVER COOL. You can bitch and fight with someone, but the moment you bring their mother into it expect a smackdown.

Fucking disgusting what they are prepared to do to try and taint his name.

This gif is both hilarious and an amazingly accurate response to the BS in this article.

OMG

Tea Party groups and conservative churches are screening it. It was shown at a right-wing film festival in Tampa during the Republican National Convention, and by Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum Council in Missouri. Alabama GOP Chairman Bill Armistead recently recommended it during a speech, saying, “I’ve seen it. I verified that it is factual, all of it. People can determine.”

I can think of about a dozen gif responses to this, but mostly I just want to throw up.

That is so vile beyond words. IMDB tells me this guy has quite the track record.

And he made a documentary about how Sir Paul McCartney has been dead for decades. How can the Republicans take this seriously and not be embarrassed?! -_-

[shishmish]

Oh god he's THAT guy? Not surprised he's this delusional.

[the_physicist]

Yeah, I know, right? I guess this is mostly a Teaparty thing and they probably all believe his McCartney conspiracy theory, but they said some Republicans thought this was good too and just... how.

I actually watched that POS documentary. It's the same guy? Wow.

Out of curiosity, are any laws (slander/libel) being broken by the people who created and are distributing this film? The film seems to present itself as Obama's own words, which is patently false.

this is the United States, we have BEAUTIFUL freedom of speech, of course it's not violating any laws. It's a creative movie, if anything they can argue that it's not meant to be taken seriously, just like shit like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Sometimes, I fucking hate this country.

[mollywobbles867]

No, the US does have laws against slander and libel. And that one guy claimed it was all true.

[zharia]

I know that. I have a hard time believing he would or will suffer any consequences for the hate filled distribution of this video.
