Especially if it's from a shaky source. Apparently my parents heard a speech Obama made online where he wants to take this country in the direction of communism. Anyone else know anything about this? My dad reads too many conspiracy theories online and still think the country will economically collapse. I have to hear about this shit every time I'm in their apartment....

Taken from a comment on Forbes about The Communist.
" Dr. Kengor is a master propagandist for Cliff Kincaid’s so-called “Accuracy In Media” (AIM), which is the flagship enterprise of the Conservative Disinformation Network. Despite their gross misrepresentation of the Obama-Davis relationship, there is NO evidence that Davis was Obama’s “mentor,” as claimed throughout the conservative blogosphere.
Although Obama’s book indicates “Frank” was a family friend who offered him advice on racial issues, Obama wrote that Davis “fell short” and his views were “incurable.” Obama’s book proves that Obama did not consider Davis to be a “wise and trusted counselor,” which is the standard definition of “mentor.” By what creative definition can Davis be considered his “mentor”?
Further, according to “Dreams,” Obama visited Davis only twice on his own after visiting with Gramps: once to discuss his grandmother’s bus stop incident, and three years later before leaving for college. When could any “communist” training occur?
There is no evidence that Davis discussed politics or economics with Obama, much less any evidence that he discussed socialism. There is no evidence that Obama or Gramps were even aware of Davis’s CPUSA involvement. Kengor’s propaganda is par for the course in the Conservative Disinformation Network.
Kengor previously lied about Davis in an earlier column for so-called “Accuracy In Media” He falsely claimed that the NAACP’s Roy Wilkins directly criticized Davis regarding the 1949 Honolulu NAACP incident. Kengor’s claim was a total fabrication, which suggests that his research is seriously flawed.

THIS is why I am such a skeptic. Agendas and too much hearsay. I'm in no way a Obama supporter but I want solid fact not biased opinion.

If you type in "fake moon landings" you get 5.4 million hits. Doesn't mean that they have an ounce of credibility.
Never said it did; did I? A majority are propaganda pushers.

Did they hear the speech directly or did someone (take a guess) tell them what Obama's speech was about and/or what they should think about it?
You mean the republican hit job that any first year journalist student can rip apart as a complete fabrication? :24:
Please tell me you didn't pay money to go and watch this. Dinesh D'Souza makes Rush Limbaugh look like a left leaning communist. So much for looking for the truth through objective sources...
No way did I see that movie
but Dana is on the fence and seems like he could use some enlightenment without it being forced on him
in no way is a positive toward the movie or promote
kinda like a way to see how bad obama is in my opinion

You could help Dana by not pointing him at BLATANT propaganda.

Knowing Jeff he found it online and came up with his own conclusions.
sorry
my intentions were to the ugly side of the video and be aware of what is said in it (learning process)
but your right
it could spoil a delicate mind ........
