the anti-obama video might prove an effective tool amongst conservatives. the ones who probably wouldn't change their minds anyways. but it doesn't help when they get all riled up.

Obama is a Muslim?
He doesn't love our country?
His wife isn't proud of America?
His pastor says crazy things about white people?

This will get worse before it gets better. Obama can't out-shout this noise with beautiful speeches and positive campaigns.

there's a possible up side to this. it's such obvious propaganda that people in the middle aren't likely to be swayed.

and perhaps, though beautiful speeches and positive campaigns, people will get wind of just one of the misrepresentations this video makes. it might be enough to plant a seed of doubt and cause the viewer to find out for themselves.

The Malcolm X thing just eludes me. What exactly did he do? His ideas are juvenile and mostly irrelevant today. Check that last video for a typical claim--"we have to destroy the country before a black man and a white man will ever be able to look at each other on the same footing." This is so wrong it's sad. He led no social movement of any consequence. None of his ideas is really even in circulation, just his this vague idea that he stood up to oppression. So why is he some kind of god now? Because he's a symbol people affiliate with to feel some kind of political prestige. To repeat: sad.
