Scumbag Dinesh Disouza is on NPR. What an ass.

[Atman]

He's blaming all his problems on Obama. "I made a mistake, I shouldn't have done it." Moderator says "but you committed a crime, you've admitted to it." No, it's all everyone else's fault. He grew up in Middle Class India, and Obama is an elitist who, if he did grow up in Kenya, would have been dirt poor. He is a reprehensible asshole. Disgusting douche bag. I hope he gets his full two-year prison term.

[Atman]

1. BTW, the program is Tom Ashbrook's "On Point"

Currently playing here if not on your NPR station.

2. I only wish this shithead

would have to do any time he's going to get in Attica or Sing-Sing instead of the club-fed that everyone knows he's actually going to go to.

He's a reprehensible asshole who cannot have enough bad things happen to him. I don't say this often about anybody but I really hope this ruins his life.

[Coventina]

3. I guess I missed this. What crime did he commit?

Saw him on the Ed Show about a week ago and no mention was made of any crime.

(They were talking about his dumb film, and handing him his ass over his "arguments" in the film).

[Atman]

4. Seriously? He's on his way to prison.

Campaign finance fraud. Funneling money through shadows.

Listen at the link I provided. They've just brought David Corn on to debate him. It's a great show.

[Coventina]

6. Wow! How on earth did I miss that?

Thanks for the info!!

[Atman]

7. He's plead guilty. He admits he's hoping for "community service."

He just said "you wouldn't have gone after me like this if I was Michael Moore." He's such a dick. David Corn is ripping him apart. Disouza says what make America great is the Civil War. We fought against slavery. But Corn and the host fought back -- HALF THE COUNTRY fought FOR slavery. Disouza says, "Yeah, well they weren't fighting for slavery, they were fighting for The Southern Way of Life."

This is a great interview.

[Coventina]

9. He tried to make that same argument on Ed's show re: the Civil War.

I was screaming at the TV.


I wished one of the other panelists would have mentioned that other nations managed to outlaw slavery WITHOUT fighting a war!

The man is an idiot!!

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. Wait ...

What?

"Yeah, well they weren't fighting for slavery, they were fighting for The Southern Way of Life."

Yeah ... The part of the south way of life where thy got to enslave other human beings. That was kind of an important point in the war.

[Shrike47]

29. The 'Southern Way of Life' based on slavery? That's just what they fought for?

A distinction without a difference.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. he funneled money through, among other people, his girlfriend fiance

the woman he was cheating on his wife with. you know, the paragon of conservative values cheated on his wife. that is what cost him his university head position

[Coventina]

12. Gee, what a surprise!

A right-wing Christian who cheats on his wife?
Unthinkable!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. Iirc, he proposed to her while he was still married/cheating.

I think that was supposed to make it ok since they were technically engaged.

But me and my partner of 17 years shouldn't be allowed to get married, according to dickish dewhosawhata.

[Coventina]

30. The hypocrisy is incredible.

If he were a true Christian, he's know how Jesus felt about hypocrites.

(Not to mention that Jesus never said word one about homosexuality, and blatantly refused to make judgments about sexuality in general).

But, you know, since when have RW Christians attempted to embody Christ?
to you and your partner....

[budkin]

5. Enjoyed watching Bill Maher tear him apart a couple years ago

Really can't stand that douchebag.

[Abouttime]

8. Prison..

He needs to be made an example of what happens when you attack an elected government.
After he's locked up then get Limbaugh, hannity, and the rest of the reich wing liars up on charges and put them in prison too, there's got to be a few skeletons in their closets that the justice dept could dig up, especially Limbaugh, he's such a sleazeball.

[Atman]

10. Still on air...taking phone calls. Here's the contact info.

[dhill926]

13. it astounds me that he...

gets any coverage at all. He is a truly stupid man. Monumentally stupid. Yet laughing all the way to the bank. And yep, I'll be shocked if he does any kind of time at all...

[Atman]

14. That's what is great about this interview.

He is shown to being truly an ignorant turd.

[dhill926]

15. good deal...

I'll have to listen later. Enjoyed watching Bill Maher eviscerate him a few weeks ago...

[Enthusiast]

16. Disouza is one repulsive individual.

[Atman]

17. Every DUer should listen to this...

...if only for great replies to your GOP-bagger friends who subscribe to the Obama hatred.

David Corn v. Dinesh Disouza. One of the best interviews/debates I've heard in ages.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. I know I'll hate myself for the self inflicted pain, but is there a link to the archive? Since it's

probably over.

[Atman]

19. Here

It's well worth listening too. I'm sure they'll be replaying it at some point today.

[KamaAina]

21. That's "Distort D'Newsa" to you.

[hifiguy]

22. I sincerely hope the judge gives him

a nice vacation in the happy old Crowbar Hilton.

[Atman]

23. Even the NPR host joked that he's just going to "Club Fed."

I don't recall how it was put, but neither of them took it seriously that he'd actually go to "prison." He'll just be out of circulation for a while. Possibly living in a tasteful cell once owned by Martha Stewart (my reference, not from the interview).

[Atman]

24. A kick for the evening crowd...find this program if you can.

It's really worth a listen. Should be repeating by now, link is upthread in a couple of places.

[JI7]

26. why is this piece of shit given so much media airtime ?

[JI7]

27. His father was an executive for Johnson and Johnson

he went to private schools in india.

he most likely lived a better life growing up in india than most middle class and even upper middle class families in the US.

is he seriously trying to play the "poor ole me" thing ?

[shenmue]

31. What a damn shame

that they can only give him up to two years.

He'll be back on Fox News in no time.
