You cannot give facts to Arus.....

I'm sure he/she does not want to believe that obama smoked dope and did cocaine, even though obama said it in his own words....

Obama back "home" in Kenya...


Obama In Kenya: I Am So Proud To Come Back Home - YouTube
That demonstrates the strength and quality of D'Souza's work. Just forget about the many times in the book Obama talks about not knowing his father or what he stood for. But the title of the book is "Dreams from my Father" so it must be that he is in touch with his father's dreams.

What does that have to do with Obama saying he's "happy to be back home in Kenya?"

And Obama found his father's dreams:

But if it does reach #3....in the Political documentary section....it will **** people like you off...because you do not like anything against the left....
Let me try this a different way. What does it mean that "Fahrenheit 9/11" is the number one documentary? Does it imply that what is in "Fahrenheit 9/11" is true? My answer is No. Does it imply that people who have seen "Fahrenheit 9/11" believe it is true? My answer is No.

The answer to those questions are still no for the number 2 and perhaps number 3 documentary. It no longer surprises me the types of works (books, movies) people will pay for. Therefore I'm not monitoring, not do I care about, how any individual documentary is performing in the box office.

Oh you were serious with posting the video. Since you posted it in response to my statement about what the book was about; I thought we were discussing the book the documentary used as a resource. I didn't realize that you wanted to switch the topic to birtherism.

Yes, Obama had a father from Kenya. Obama Jr. had very little knowledge of Kenya until he was an adult.

And, yes, Obama found his father's dreams.

Looking back over my posts in this thread it would appear that I got involved in the thread to challenge the misinformation Erik Rush (which someone posted to this thread) has been spreading.

I stayed to challenge the misinformation the D'Souza has been spreading.
