Fox News Democrat Pat Caddell Teams Up With Citizens United To Make Anti-Obama Movie

In case you had any lingering doubt that Fox News “Democrat” Pat Caddell is anything but a fraud designed to provide Fox with another anti-Democratic voice under cover of “balance,” then his proud association with Citizens United’s new anti-Obama movie ought to completely eradicate it. The movie will premiere at the Republican convention next week. And yes, it was produced by that Citizens United. Sean Hannity was so eager to promote it that he announced, “This is the most powerful documentary I’ve ever seen in my life. There’s no way that anybody watches this film could vote for Barack Obama. It’s impossible!”

Hannity spent all of last night's show promoting the movie. He played clips and hosted some of the interviewees along with its principals David Bossie and Steve Bannon. Producer Bossie is not just president of Citizens United, but he seems to have spent the Clinton years in dogged pursuit of any dirt he could dig up and throw at them. Steve Bannon, writer and director, is now executive chairman of Breitbart.com – that fine organization that gave us the recycled “Obama race video” exposing whom Obama briefly hugged in 1990.

I wish Pat Caddell would go work for the Romney campaign. Obama would win in a landslide.

Carter was and is a good man, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking he had a good political shop in his White House.

staff member who worked with Louis Freeh, FBI agents, and members of the Secret Service (all of them traitors) to prosecute/persecute Clinton. He likely planned and was present when Burton "reenacted" the death of Vince Foster to prove that the Clinton's killed him. The "reenactment" by Burton and Bossie involved shooting a cantaloupe.

and I am quite certain that he will be an anti-(insert name of next Democratic president) Democrat when that time comes.

There is money to be made by being an intra-party dissident.

and let's also say Obama bowed out and let Hillary be the nominee.

Caddell would the first "Democrat" on TV to bad mouth her over and over again.

CADDELL was credited with CARTER's win, something like KKKarl or Dick MORRIS. Along with CADDELL, there were Tweety who became a RAYGUN acolyte then proceeded to be a de facto Rethug operative during the FAKE impeachment and during Coup 2000 (blasting GORE every damn day during 2000) and later in his love affairs with Shrub and Mc5planes. And another CARTERite was David RUBENSTEIN, one of the co-founders of the Carlyle Group, although this dude has also done a lot of charity, well besides dole-ing out fortunes to B.F.F.E-ers.

CADDELL never again had success with any campaigns he took, including the New Coke. Bitter.

he has really been worthless since '76, but he is now almost a parody of himself (and other fox token washed-up dems).

Even when he worked for NBC. I was to young too remember much about the Carter admin, but he was a snake towards Gore in the 2000 election. I agree with Hannity that anyone who watches that could not vote for Obama, because anybody who goes to see that garbage wasn't going to vote for Obama to begin with.
