David N. Bossie earned a reputation as a relentless sleuth -- or right-wing hit man, depending on one's political persuasion -- during his years as a high-profile Republican congressional investigator and conservative activist.

Through the 1990s, Bossie spent much of his time assembling caches of documents to push his admittedly ideological agenda. He was a ready promoter of stories about President Bill Clinton's sexual and ethical lapses, proved and otherwise.

No longer content to merely unearth documents, Bossie, president of Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, has turned to documentary-style films to push his causes. His latest contribution to the national political debate is "Border War," a film he co-produced that makes the case for a serious crackdown on illegal immigration.

The movie, which makes its national premiere in Los Angeles tomorrow, in Washington on Sept. 13 and on DVD in October, tells the story of illegal immigration -- with Bossie's unmistakable point of view. "It shows what illegal immigration means to your average person," he said....

3. Isn't Shrub....

8. Most conservatives are against open borders,

try to find a positive thing written about *'s guest worker program in Freeperville.

5. The BASE will see them, and a motivated base will turn out to vote in

offyear elections. THAT is what these films are designed to do. The base used to be motivated by Bush, but now that they're questioning his decisions, they need another form of motivation, and tweaking their hate buttons usually does it.

6. lots of anti-immigrant types here at DU will see it

7. Great ... two plus hours of

"Nuh-uh" and "liar, liar, pants on fire" as "evidence" ...

Hope he shows Ollie North, the KKK, and Rush Limbaugh as the "Criminals" in the "All Criminals Love Us" mantra that the reichies love to spout ...
