Left 'comes out screaming' against D'Souza's Film -- 'America'

NEW YORK – The political left is coming out “screaming,” with “guns blazing,” in an attempt to dampen the audience for the highly anticipated film “America: Imagine a World Without Her,” its maker told WND just before its Hollywood premiere.

Dinesh D’Souza recalled that the left’s strategy with his first political documentary, “2016: Obama’s America,” was to ignore it.

“You would almost not know ’2016′ existed if you just followed the leftist press and their Internet blogs,” D’Souza told WND in an exclusive phone interview. “It was only when the pied piper Obama came out yelling that everybody else on the left immediately jumped into line.”140622americaposter

“2016″ became the second most popular political documentary of all time, earning $33 million.

This time, the left is drawing attention to a D’Souza film with blistering reviews.

D’Souza believes “America” has become “too big too early for the left to ignore.”

“So, the left is coming out screaming,” he said. “And I frankly think it’s fantastic. We are seeing clearly the hatred of the left, and, far from intimidating me, I welcome it.”

“Eh, the left are always screaming about something. They hate the truth in full view.”

Difference between a liberal and a conservative? Want to piss of a conservative, tell him a lie. Want to piss off a liberal, tell him the truth.

D’Souza looks a little like Mr. Bean in that picture!!

But seriously, what do they say, “If you’re taking flak you must be over the target.” I can hear them screaming now, “How dare he use OUR medium of choice to express his view point!”

Because this man has the ability to communicate exposing the lies and propaganda of this administration,

Doing only what any supposed opposition party should be doing but will not. He has become an enemy of the state, both as a means of punishment and as an example of what happens if you defy this administration.

It nothing less than an evil unclean tyrannical spirit ruling from the White House,

That’s all the left has...screaming, hyperventilating, racism, etc.

They simply will not argue an rational terms because they lose.

Eggsellent. No such thing as bad publicity.

I saw it today at an 11:40 a.m. showing in Austin. For noontime time on Tuesday in Austin, the theater was about 20% full. I think I was just about the youngest guy in the crowd. I’ll be 50 in October!

Anyway, folks need to see it. It takes all the canards the Left loves to throw at people and deftly pushes them aside. The last reel deals with Saul Alinsky and Howard Zinn and how they turned resentment into a full-fledged political movement and shake-down industry.

One of the best lines in the movie: “At the end of the Mexican-American War, the US Army occupied Mexico City and controlled all of Mexico. As part of the terms, Mexico’s debt was canceled and half of the country was returned to the Mexicans. You have to wonder if, today, the Mexicans wished that they (the US) had kept all of it.”

Obama has said that he wants to “Remake America.” D’Souza points out that “To remake America, you have to first un-make America.” And that Obama was himself a product of the forces that wish to remake America. Enter the Rogues Gallery of Leftists that seek to “reamke” America: Alinksy, Ayers, Churchill, Zinn, Chomsky, Hillary, and Obama.

The saddest thing is that what he has to say won’t be much a surprise to anyone over 50. We learned history before the Left co-opted educated and made its long-march through the institutions. It isn’t nearly long enough, thorough enough, nor damning enough. It barely scratches the surface of all the Left’s lies that have up-ended American society and culture.

But it’s the first time I’ve seen a documentary that really hits back and takes the lies and abuses that the Left has foisted on us for decades and sets them on their collective ear.

Perhaps, one day, D’Souza or another a documentary filmmaker, will develop a whole documentary series that could be used to tell the whole truth about America and United States.

I expect to hear some flak from Matt Damon by the end of the weekend...

He was marked as a capitalist by D’Souza in this film...

I’d love to see how he worms his way out of that implied label...
