Watch 123Movies. Do As I Say is a 2008 documentary film based on the novel by Peter Schweizer titled Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy. The book, an eight-week New York Times bestseller, was adapted for the screen by writer and director Nick Tucker. As the book's title indicates, several outspoken left-wing politicians and other public figures are profiled, and evidence is presented for the alleged hypocrisy seen in the disparity between what the individuals do and what they advocate publicly.
