What's the Big Deal w/ This Reagan Movie?

[durutti]

What are they whining about? Could someone fill me in?

[ComerPerro]

1. they are mad because it doesn't show

How great he was, what a briliant leader he was, and what a bold hero he was.

Anything that does not support their twisted fantasy world is slander and lies.

2. They supposedly accuse

Nancy of writing (his name escapes me) resignation letter. And that Raygun says that people think he's the anti-Christ and they mention that Nancy used psychics. It's probably all true!

Of course they don't mention that the asshole didn't even know his own son at his college graduation!

6. Don Regan?

3. All repukes believe

Reagan was the second coming of christ, they think the movie might dispell the belief that he really could walk on water.

4. One rumor had Nancy

slapping five year old Patti the day Reagan was elected Governor in a Joan Crawford moment.

Only problem was that Patti was 14 when Reagan was first elected governor.

Supposedly, CBS said some of the movie went "too far" and it's going to be re-edited.

5. Because it isn't "Fair and Balanced" like Faux

In other words, because it doesn't whitewash every single thing Raygun did and portray him the way Reifenstahl portrayed Hitler, or Eisenstein portrayed Stalin.

Nothing less will suit them and why?

Because they are the spirtual descendants of the Nazis, the Commies, the Tonton Macute, and every other group of people who embraced Totalitarianism (and it's charismatic leader du jour).

7. When does it air?

What night? Time? Is it a miniseries?

[elperromagico]

8. They're whining

because it isn't "fair" to Saint Reagan. Apparently, because Reagan is old and enfeebled, all criticisms of him are off-limits. Or at least that's what the neocons say...

9. I'm not going to watch it...

I had enough of Reagan in the '80's & about the last thing I need is to be reminded of those horrible 8 years.

I have my work cut out for me trying to get bush out of office; the last thing I'm thinking of, is Reagan and his stickwoman of a wife.

To put it bluntly, Reagan was a turd as president, and he ain't much better now.
