A thousand Christopher Guest and Armando Iannucci clones working on a thousand typewriters for a thousand and one years couldn’t come up with something as good as this:
A scandalous DVD claiming that President Barack Obama’s mother posed for pornographic photos and that his real father was a communist poet who indoctrinated young Barack with Marxism is reportedly being mailed to more than a million swing-state voters. (Via)
It gets better. So, so much better.
OK, not only does Dreams From My Real Father call Ann Dunham, who is dead, FYI, a “porn star,” it also says:
-She posed for pornographic pictures while pregnant with baby Barack.
-Barack’s REAL father is “communist poet and labor activist” Frank Marshall Davis, who taught Barack all about Marxism at a young age.
-She posed with other women, a.k.a. LESBIAN.
Best of all, the video is narrated by someone PRETENDING TO BE BARACK OBAMA.
I’m not even angry. I’m impressed. Maybe Joel Gilbert, the mastermind behind Dreams From My Real Father, will use his powers of deductive reasoning to prove that, in fact, Paul IS dead, and what we’ve been watching all these years is a hologram that doubles…as a PORN STAR.



On the bright side, does this mean they’ve moved on from the whole birth certificate issue?
Y’know, Gilbert already made a movie claiming Paul is dead. It, and his ‘Elvis is Alive’ film followed the same pattern. He released a conspiracy theory movie that he advertised as a “documentary,” claiming that he’s discovered shocking new evidence, and then later on changed his tune and claiming that it’s just a “spoof.”
And that’s really the only hope he has to salvage himself from the rampant dishonesty in this movie:

For instance, Gilbert claims that Obama’s mother posed for nude pictures in 1960…and then he shows pictures he took from 1958 magazines. He suggests that Frank Marshall Davis wrote about Ann Dunham in a memoir, and then omits the overwhelming context that shows Davis wasn’t talking about anyone remotely like her. Gilbert details private situations he couldn’t possibly know about, he talks about evidence that doesn’t appear in the film, and he repeats old internet rumors he clearly didn’t bother to factcheck. There are far too many conscious lies for anyone to be impressed by the final product.
You’re probably giving “anyone” too much credit. Of course, I’m sure those who would believe what this movie says have been voting republican for at least a decade (or not voting at all).
I would worry about the “telephone” effect causing reasonable people to believe isolated pieces of this claptrap if mentioned in passing or something, but it seems like every single part of this is too ridiculous for that, so hopefully it won’t happen. Except maybe the “communist dad” part; I expect to hear that one repeated by some people.
Is it bad that if this is true, it makes me want to vote for Obama even more?
huh, I guess the GOP didn’t think they were playing on people’s prejudices enough by constantly screaming “Barack Husein Obama is a black muslim born in Kenya!”
My Barack is NOT a Communist! He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist, but he is NOT a porn star!
What?!
Calm down, Grandpa.
Also, that lady is pretty.
Reminds me of June Diane Raphael.
Well, that should put these swing states in the bag for Obama. Jesus Christ.
I heard the video shows Obama’s dad pulling the infamous Hot Karl Marx
What…the…hell…here I was all happy that Romney whooped ass last night, thinking conservatives were on top of the world, and four hours later I have to be embarrassed again
