Geez, I think I can stop now naming individual Republicans as liars. They all seem to lie-A LOT. The more conservative and religious Republicans lie the most and agree with the liars the most. D'Souza is a "Christian conservative intellectual" so his lies "carry more weight".
D'Souza got conservative funding to make and promote his anti-Obama film called "Obama 2016".

Granted, most reviewers peg the movie as a "character assasination" and borderline slander of the current President. Rightwing sites hail it as "the truth!" But D'Souza's movie, like his books on Obama are non-factual. They are opinion pieces. I think D'Souza was encouraged after writing a bad hit piece on President Obama in 2010 which was deconstructed by Columbia Journalism Review here--

Here is a blog from a rightwinger (an honest conservative or libertarian) that takes apart D'Souza's lunacy in 2007. He hasn't gotten better.

Bill Maher takes D'Souza to task over his lies. Beware, there is some bad language here.

Wow, Maher points out that D'Souza isn't dealing in reality here. But, unfortunately that is why D'Souza is getting a lot of $$$ to promote these lies. And D'Souza is a "Christian". I don't believe it, he is getting paid to lie about President Obama and comes up with a bunch of crap. Meet, the new George Will, folks.
Here is another one challenging D'Souza--

It seems that when D'Souza is challenged by a journalist/opinionator he has nothing. But, it doesn't matter for many rightwing religionists, this will make them feel better about their irrational hatred of a Black President. Just because D'Souza lies to make White people (especially White Men) feel better about themselves, it doesn't make it true.
