Review of Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008) by Susan C — 31 Oct 2008

Wow. Amazing film about this man and the politics of smear that he created. He was the man that came up with the notion of 'wedge issue' as a reponse to this prblem: how can we get people to vote against their own interests.

He died of a brain tumor and repented for the ignoble acts he had commited and even sent letters to all the people he 'destroy' asking for their forgiveness. On this deathbed he commented that his life's work (political manipulation) was "bullshit.

" A must see for all political junkies.
