In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher destroys Dinesh D'Souza over Anti-Obama Documentary 2016 [View all]truth2power
(8,219 posts)25. Well, this will make you sick. According to Wikipedia
his father was an executive with Johnson & Johnson. D'Souza came to America as an exchange student in 1978 through a Rotary International program. He never returned to India to live.
My question is, how did he get citizenship? Just being an exchange student doesn't entitle you to stay, I wouldn't think.
But scrolling down that Wiki page I encountered something about D'Souza that's truly alarming. Under the heading "Abu Ghraib" he's quoted as saying:
"With regard to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse, D'Souza asserted that the abuse to the prisoners was due to the "sexual immodesty of liberal America" and that Abu Ghraib reflected "the values of a debauched liberalism run amok." Dinesh also claims that had Charles Graner and Lynndie England been "professors at an elite liberal arts college, their videotaped orgies might easily have become the envy of academia. If they were artists staging these pictures in a loft in SoHo they could have been hailed as pioneers and encouraged by leftist admirers to apply for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts."[40] "
What an ignorant and disgraceful thing to say. "videotaped orgies..the envy of academia"? Oh, puke!
When abu Ghraib was daily in the news I repeatedly commented about the strangely pervasive sexual material in the photos. It wasn't until I heard Chris Hedges state in an interview that the incidents at abu Ghraib were straight out of Gonzo porn that I felt validated. It's my opinion that the videotapes were viewed by Rummy, Cheney et. al. and that the prisoners weren't the only ones doing the masturbating.
And for D'Souza to blame it on liberals? What an effing lowlife!!! Ugh!

I'd like to know how the hell D'Souza got his green card, let alone citizenship.
