Billionaire Plans Another Effort to Defeat Obama


Billionaire investor Joe Ricketts, who dropped plans for a $10 million advertising blitz linking President Obama with the fiery race-based rhetoric of the Rev. Jeremia Wright, "is involved in another effort slated for this summer, a documentary film based on a widely criticized book, The Roots of Obama's Rage by Dinesh D'Souza, which asserts that Mr. Obama is carrying out the 'anticolonial' agenda of his Kenyan father," the New York Times reports.

"Mr. Ricketts's aides said he was one of roughly two dozen investors, providing only 5 percent of the film's budget. But his involvement shows how the more strident attacks against Mr. Obama, which Mr. Romney's aides view as counterproductive, continue to find backing even as the Republican Party and the Romney campaign seek to keep the focus on the economy."

1. This shows how desperate Republicans are

if they can't fight the election on the issues then it shows what greedy, low life they are.

2. These people have so much hate in them

I almost feel sorry for their miserable lives. ALMOST

3. Cubs lost their last 10 games. Is this a coincidence?

Ok, I know, but still I'm amused.

7. Probably not

Anything that affects the players' ability to concentrate on the game will hurt performance. The black players especially have to be put off by Rickett's actions.

4. Attack documentaries must be a growth business about now

Get some editing equipment and a video camera to do some interviews and man-on-the-street stuff and you should be able to find enough RW backers to oversubscribed to your project. Makes The Producers look like a how-to video. With a ready audience, any semi-skilled film student could be setup to make a small fortune in the next few months with almost no risk.

5. Dinesh D'Souza. . Just another wacko fundy

delusional

[enough]

6. Somehow I don't think the phrase "anticolonial agenda" is really going to resonate in a big way

with the voting public.

11. Lol you are so right!

Of all the things to focus on...this guy is a Moran.

[stubtoe]

13. Shhhh, don't let him hear you.

Let him waste his money.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Wonder how much the Republicans are regretting unlimited campaign spending now

unleashed via SCOTUS?

I hope that they spend boatloads of money.........and have NOTHING to show for it after November.....except for emptier wallets.

10. They're stimulating the economy! ;)

17. A fool and his money are soon parted

Being rich does not necessarily make a person wiser, saner, or better. But it does seem to allow wealthy idiots to finance fool's quests.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. Oh those anti-colonialists.

[dbackjon]

19. Great minds think alike

The United States was FOUNDED on anti-colonial rage.

Why does Ricketts and D'Souza hate the United States so much?

[treestar]

21. This would backfire

on the right - independents who hear of this and then see Obama actually talking will feel lied to.

[awoke_in_2003]

12. "The Roots of Obama's Rage"?

Ooh, angry black man, watch out. Seriously, has this man EVER lost his cool?

[emulatorloo]

14. Musta been on acid when they came up with this one.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. I hope they all spend themselves into oblivion...nt

[Kath1]

16. Agree!

Spending all those billions, and Obama will still win by a landslide! I'd love to see that!

[and-justice-for-all]

18. Exactly..nt

[treestar]

20. This idiot latches onto the dumbest possible "scandals"

The anti-colonial one is the stupidest - even the wing nuts won't want to hear about it.
