Why do these films consistently focus on the the use of fear by the right? It is such an overplayed topic.
I'm not saying that it isn't a great documentary, I'm just bored with the material.

No kidding. The left loves them some fear, too. It's good politics.

Agreed. There is no shortage of fear utilized by both political parties.
Obamacare was sold on fear, Social Security continues to be propped up on fear, Medicaid expansions, EPA expansions, carbon footprints...fear, fear, fear.

I wasn't aware Al Gore and the climate change alarmists were from the right. And now I know...

The right is/has been more effective in exploiting/utilizing fear. The left is more effective at exploiting naivete. It's just demographics.
Thanks for the link, OP - looks interesting.
