So, I think this film will alienate the very audience it strives for. On one hand, its hyperbolic anti-Republican sentiment makes it fit only for the far left. But I think I can speak for most of us on the far left in saying that we're not interested in misleading generalizations that condone blind partisanship. We get enough of that already without producing it ourselves.

I saw Lakoff's book in Borders a while ago and he does have a point that modern political debate - and not just in the US - is generally framed in conservative terms (low public spending = good, strong unions = bad, etc).
It sounds rather as if the publishers thought it might be a good idea to make a DVD out of the book but were too cheap to actually spend any money on a professional production.

I've since browsed past some of Lakoff's books. I wonder if the bad production doesn't do him justice.
I agree that a lot of his basic ideas ring true. I guess he's just not the best spokesman for his own work. And the people who made this DVD should have realized that at some point.
