					<description><![CDATA[When a #2 grossing political documentary has this much controversy there must be some truth or it would be left to fall by the wayside. Much of this book and movie is Conspiracy Theory but other parts or each raise eyebrows and give &quot;Aha!&quot; moments. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Will his book be recalled by its publisher as well?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The masses trust the AFAs, and FRCs of the world. &lt;/blockquote&gt;



Not just the masses, alas. While some Evangelicals with Integrity see the light - eventually - it can take a while, they&#039;re cautious about thinking ill of anyone -  many still think that no Good Christian would ever deliberately and maliciously lie. Actually, they&#039;re right there. Where they&#039;re so tragically wrong is that they think the AFA, FAC etc are Good Christians.



Warren, I&#039;m sure you know some of these people. Good people. How do we reach them?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tx History Prof- I didn&#039;t ask how people viewed it when it came out. I asked which parts were true. I&#039;ll answer the question for you: there was a Civil War and there was a place known as the south. Beyond that, it was 100% bull-pucky. Making money and being controversial doesn&#039;t add weight to an argument. Just look at Glenn Beck. 



Do you remember 2008 at all? Tons of people on the right were saying that if Obama was elected, he would destroy the country in all sorts of ways; surrender to radical Islam, turn us all Socialist, leave all our milk out to spoil, etc. Not one of those predictions came true. Now we&#039;re supposed to believe someone who has spent his entire term governing as a compulsive centrist, someone whose most &quot;socialist&quot; accomplishment was based on Republican ideas, is suddenly going to morph into am ultra-radical leftist when reelected? Seriously?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Boo,



Most of that 1916 motion picture was one in the Dunning historiographical style which focused on the premis that Recbstruction ruined the South and that giving the freed slaves the franchise brought about the need for segregation. This film was written and produced in a time that was only 51years after the end of the Civil War which made most of the material fresh in recent memory or there were people who had it fresh in recent memory making objectivity difficult if not impossible .



Dinesh, even with his bias, uses Obama&#039;s own words against him in advancing his thesis. However,like Birth of a Nation, much of what Dinesh writes about s very recent history not affording us full objectivity of the effect that the Obama presidency will have on America.  However, the right wing Evangelical  Chrstian slant makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction in some places.





Zoe,



You are sooo right. They never want to criticize a fellow Cgristian because he or she would never lie to advance an agenda. Like Barton, Dinesh is doing a similar act but Dinesh has much better academic credentials affording him the ability to write a very convincing if not thought provoking profile of this POTUS, We must ask &quot;What if he is right?&quot; Are we willing to watch America go under while we had a chance to stop it?]]></description>
