Obama's "hut-dwelling brother".

Okay, happened upon this on yahoo (the ticket). Apparently they (probably the Koch brothers or Sheldon Adelson - gotta do some research on that) are making an anti-Obama movie based on D'nesh D'souza's (conservative asshole) book Obama's Rage. The usage of the phrase "hut-dwelling brother" is disgusting.

Read the "article" here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-hut-dwelling-half-brother-interviewed-movie-163902807.html

Oh, here's more about the movie - some interesting information about who bankrolled the film, none other than Joe Ricketts:

Why do you think so badly about what are probably 60% of the world's humans and their lives? Yes, most humans live in "Huts" as i do. And that is not the reason the world is going through planetary changes, is it? No, it is the big fancy house dwellers that are responsible, right?

But using against him like "Kenya" and "madrasas" is a nasty trick that unfortunately works with the ignorant.
