Last night I covered the Twin City tea party meeting in Leominster (more on that later tonight) when Dinesh D’Souza movie 2016 came up. I was told it was playing in Fitchburg and a group of tea party members were planning to see it tomorrow night when then have the Tuesday matinees.
I was going to be busy Tuesday so on my way home I swung by the theater to see what time the movie was playing. To my surprise there was a 9:15 show so I figured I’d see it at once and pay the extra $2.
As you might guess on a Monday night the movie only had a few people. There were under 20 cars in the lot for the 9 movies that had post 9 p.m. I was one of 4 patrons, one I had previously met at a tea party meeting and a pair of ladies one who had brought her friend.
None of the patrons would agree to an on camera interview either before or after the film but I did talk one gentleman into interviewing ME. So I handed him my camera told him he could ask we what he wanted and voilà:
I’m told attendance was good enough this weekend to possibility justify carrying it over another week or at least the weekend, I’ll check back on Friday and find out.

Good review Pete! I believe the movie (which I have been promotingon my blog with a link on my side-bar) is a must see for everyone, liberal or conservative.
We need to flesh out the con-artist who is president.
Keep up the skeer, they’re demoralized as hell!
I thought Dinesh did a good job. The anti-colonial theory of his has merit (I thought it immediately when the story of the Churchill bust first broke), but D’Souza fleshes it out well and also makes the connection that his view of his father are really those of his mother.
Here is my review that also links Smitty’s (which is very good too): http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/obama-2016-movie-review.html I agree, the founding father part (the influence of Edward Said, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, etc.) was well done and he points out how the media glossed this over.
I hope you and Rush are right about the outcome of the election. I am less sanguine, but hopeful.
