I have no problem at all with using movies to campaign.

But I'm surprised you think this is new, or limited to the left.

The religious right promoted "The Clinton Chronicles" a paranoid fantasy that threw every nutcase claim about Clinton (CIA stooge, serial rapist, mass murderer, etc.) into one steaming sludgeball and sold tapes through Jerry Falwell's organization to people like Mul.

Reasonable people saw it for what it was -- a 'documentary' on the level of an 'aliens created the pyramids' scam. But for a certain segment of the population -- those wearing tinfoil hats -- it was gospel.
