I knew he was a woomeister, but that was just batshit insane.

If I had been drinking coffee I would have sprayed it out. Cutting, witty, and so, so to the point. Great post.

D’Souza is moderately intelligent. I’m not sure if he actually believes all the crap that he shovels. For a person like him it must be just like shooting fish in a barrel. Imagine being able to create “intellectual works” that appeal to the nuttiness and comparative ignorance of right-wing America. You merely need to be able to construct a sentence and hit all the right bases. If I had no scruples I’d hack out some deranged tome that would make him look like the picture of sanity. I’d probably be an millionaire overnight.

Anti-colonial means “angry brown men are coming to take your property”*. This is only when a brown person is the anticolonial. When a Real American™ (white, unMuslim, conservative) is, it’s “Founding Fathers! U S A! U S A! U S A!”
The “Kenyan” that preceeded it is an Atwater Dogwhistle meaning “The Other” (which, by definition, means “not one of us”), a limbic tickle for the Birthers, and it acts as an amplifier for “anti-colonial” (as in “extremely angry brown men are coming to take your property”.
* …as are “he’s working for reparations”, a previous meme, and “progressive taxation”/”spread the wealth”. So, for that matter, is “Democratic Party”.
