Related: About this forumWhy Dinesh D'Souza's 'America' Features Clips of Matt Damon, Woody Harrelson - See more at: http://w
Moviegoers heading to Dinesh DSouzas America over the Fourth of July weekend probably arent expecting much star power, so they might be surprised when celebrities like Bono, Matt Damon and Woody Harrelson pop up onscreen.
While President Obama, Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton as well as Hillary Clinton are portrayed as disciples of Saul Alinsky, the movie also indicts Damon and Harrelson as members of the left who actively undermine the idea of American exceptionalism through their work and their status as celebrities.
"It's fun to make our points through illustrations using recognizable figures from popular culture. We have to explain to many people who Frederick Douglass is, but everyone knows Matt Damon and Bono," D'Souza told The Hollywood Reporter. "I actually like the Bourne movies, so I guess I am one of the people putting money in Matt Damon's pocket. Now if only I could also put some brains into his head."

Poor schmuck, the other celebrity obsessed morons will be salivating over the Kardashians and won't even consider watching his drivel.
Once Megyn Kelly laughs at you for being down the rabbit hole, Dinesh, it's over.
