they released some quotes. one was reagan being totaly uncaring about the aids. the statement was nothing a conservative christian would have a problem with.

but the same quote pretty much showed him to be a "not nice"
person. i.e. if you had aids you were living in sin and deserved to die.

the truth about reagan aint pretty to a non conservative.

Is that the democracy of thugs forcing their will on us, or a different one?

Reagan is the Republican's SACRED Cow.

They get real nervous when the infidels start mocking their cow.

CENSORSHIP!

Did he have to apologize for that?

And yes,  Reagan IS the Republican sacred cow...no different than Bill Clinton is to the democrats.

"THE REAGANS" is garbage...as Washington Post media expert Howie Kurtz pointed out, the writers actually made up quotes and attributed them to Reagan.  [By the way, it was the NY Times that broke the story by reporting the made-up quotes.  So much for the conspiracy of the liberal media elite.  I wish leading conservatives journalists would point out how inaccurate Rush Limbaugh has been over the years.]

Kurtz also asked why, if the movie isn't accurate enough to be shown on the network, why is it okay to show it on cable?  (It has not in fact been pulled.)

The people who made this series were some terribly ignorant, fuzzy-thinking, knee-jerk liberals.  My guess is that now the push will be on to have a miniseries about Reagan made by ignorant, fuzzy-thinking, knee jerk conservatives.



For Reagan, in his own words, click here and scroll down.
