1. "The Socialist"
I saw a YouTube link to the trailer the other day in another forum. You might could search YouTube and find it.

Standard political propaganda piece.

3. Rethug movie
I saw this add on cable yesterday - and was flipping birds at my TV within seconds. It seems that this whole financial crisis started on 20-Jan-2008, at least that was my take of the ad. The game plan of the pugs seems to be to roll out one or two of these things every election cycle now.

4. That trailer enraged me! I wonder who financed this? And it looks
as though it's well done, polished, professional. This is horrifying and may even bring people on the fence over to the dark side since this will only be presenting their point of view, and in a way that seems "factual".

I'm truly upset about this. :grr:

6. Tax and spend
vs trickle-down, supply-side economic incentives and tax cuts for the wealthy, borrowing, and spending, Rethugs ignoring and passing the debt onto a Democratic-majority Congress and future incoming Democratic POTUS, thereby absolving themselves of any responsibility for what happened on their watch.

The invasion and occupation of Iraq will be short, we will be greeted as "liberators" and the war will "pay for itself" "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" (unless the deficit becomes the responsibility of a POTUS with a "D" after his name)...I remember the criminal PNAC Neocon lies quite well!!

10. Don't forget ... isn't the "V" re-write supposed to gear up after 11/2?
Gee, I wonder how it will go ... the valiant (and barely disguised) "tea party patriots" will be fighting against those whom have "taken over" (unsurprisingly sounding like Obamaspeak) ...

15. It looks horrible. And I don't just mean propoganda-wise. Production-wise as well.
Edited on Thu Oct-14-10 11:15 AM by Tommy_Carcetti

It looks to be live interviews spliced with really bad, pre-Toy Store animiation caricatures of Reagan and Obama. To sum the "plot": Reagan Good, Obama Bad.

If it's any relief, conservatives truly suck at making entertaining movies. They even recruited one of the creators behind Airplane and The Naked Gun (which were truly hilarious, I don't care what anyone says) and even he couldn't make conservatism palliable.

Remember Fox's Daily Show knock off? Of course not. It lasted something like 2 episodes.
