What's with the BULL SHIT AD on cable TV for the movie, "2016" ?

Watching Ocean's 11 or whatever number it was with my husband just a while ago. Up comes this advertisement for "2016", including the obligatory minor keys and dark shades of Obama's posters... A voice promising you that this is, "the movie the White House doesn't want you to see!"

What the fuck is this shit? I didn't catch the bottom of the screen, so I don't know which group courtesy of Citizen's United allowed to sponsor it.

So, this is what all the good covert money is going to go towards?

Things just have a way of becoming more bizarre. I just read through the other thread on this that it was $6.2M in the "making"...

I wish someone would give me $6.2 for editing the same for RMoney. I'd have plenty more material.

And yes, it's a total swiftboat job, but money talks, so they buy their ads and the cable stations run 'em.

It's an anti-Obama propaganda piece, pure and simple. Feature-length, no less.

When my friends post anything at all about it, I always post this link in return, because, well, Bill Maher decimates the author/director and his fantasy-based "documentary":
