Libertarian Radical
Actually, it's a pretty clumsy review by a biased reviewer who stumbles to explain away criticism of his own partisan leanings.

One thing fascinating in the discussion in this thread is the complaint that a movie about Obama is not focusing on G.W. Bush.
Maher didnt have a substantive question nor did he really say a darn thing about the movie either.Bill Maher interviewed D'Sousa on his Friday night program and he spanked him. I haven't seen the movie but when (if) I do I will keep in mind that D'Sousa didn't have substantive answers to any of Maher's questions.

There is only one thing Maher has ever spanked, and it wasn't D'Souza. Maher is an intellectual light weight who can't debate outside of a forum he controls.
This is the kind of guy that conservatives call their hero now.
Whether people believe D'Souza's nonsense is their problem. No one can stop them. Some people have a deep emotional need to believe crazy things about Obama. They weren't reasoned into that position, so they can't be reasoned out of it.
The more interesting question is how D'Souza manages to get his lunacy published at all. I've skimmed _The Roots of Obamas Rage_, which is what the movie is based on. It's just dumb. Normal people read _Dreams From My Father_ and see it as Obama being very disappointed in his father, being that's what he says. D'Souza flips the story around completely and reinterprets it as Obama wanting to mimic his father. Huh? Obama never says or implies such a thing, but D'Souza somehow sees it there.
D'Souza fans might also want to peruse some of his other works. There was his "slavery wasn't so bad" piece in 1995 (_The End of Racism_), and his "Liberals caused the 9/11 attacks because the muslims hate us for the freedom that the liberals bring!" piece in 2007 (_The Enemy at Home_). That's an especially entertaining one, being he implores the USA to become more like Bin Laden. This is the kind of guy that conservatives call their hero now.
The only problem with your claim is that D'Souza's information is documented, verifiable FACT.
In fact, much of the movie is Obama's own voice reading his own autobiography.
I heard the movie is about as unbiased as most of Micheal Moore's documentaries.
So the right will love the movie and not question anything in the movie.

Yes the she does, and does so immediately as you have pointed out. There is not one 'verifiable fact' that would 'prove' obama was born in Hawaii. There isn't even one 'verifiable fact' that obama sr. is obama's real father. Sheriff Arpiao has compelling and conclusive evidence that every single piece of documentation that obama has 'produced' to prove he was born in Hawaii is not only a forgery, but an amateurish forgery at that, from the certificate of birth, to the selective service registration, to his Connecticut social security number that is in someone else's name that would have been born in 1890, not to mention obama has lived in Connecticut. Now just because the media adores obama and will lie to the end of the earth to protect him, and politicians on both sides won't touch the issue because of what they're afraid will happen, has no bearing at all on the truth, and the facts, and the facts of the matter that obama was born in Kenya far exceed any conjured up stories and forgeries that he was born Hawaii.They did a fact check on this movie which I looked at before deciding whether to see it.

I'm guessing that Beth Fouhy failed to even watch the film.
First off, she doesn't come up with a single item that is not fact, she rather complains of D'Souza's conclusions.
She stated " But it's difficult to see how Obama's political leanings could have been so directly shaped by his father, as D'Souza claims." and yet this is explained in intricate detail in the film, leaving one to conclude that Ms. Fouhy is either abysmally stupid - she is a leftist after all, or simply didn't see the film she was critiquing - a more likely scenario.

No. D'Souza makes up idiot conclusions based on twisting the facts to suit his agenda.
And by ripping it all wildly out of context, D'Souza reveals himself as a particularly sleazy liar.
D'Souza's prize quote is this one:
--
"It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself." Even though his father was absent for virtually all his life, Obama writes, "My father's voice had nevertheless remained untainted, inspiring, rebuking, granting or withholding approval. You do not work hard enough, Barry. You must help in your people's struggle. Wake up, black man!"
---
Sounds pretty damning, eh? Oh wait. D'Souza deliberately leaves out most of the quote.
---
All my life, I had carried a single image of my father, one that I had sometimes rebelled against but had never questioned, one that I had later tried to take as my own. The brilliant scholar, the generous friend, the upstanding leader my father had been all those things. All those things and more, because except for that one brief visit in Hawaii, he had never been present to foil the image, because I hadnt seen what perhaps most men see at some point in their lives: their fathers body shrinking, their fathers best hopes dashed, their fathers face lined with grief and regret.
I heard the movie is about as unbiased as most of Micheal Moore's documentaries.
So the right will love the movie and not question anything in the movie.
