To CBS : Let the Repubs review your Reagan movie.
Then publicize the hell out of everything they say is false about the movie. If they don't like one part, I'm sure you can replace it with another part about the IranContra affair, the Bible and cake to Ayatollah Khomeini, the 241 Marines killed in Beirut because it was a stupid blunder, the many tax increases on middle income after the huge taxcuts for the wealthy and the huge deficits of 1981-89, "trees cause pollution", or "ketchup is a vegetable"? Let them review it and let us know why they didn't want that part in the movie? Saint Ronnie was no "saint" - no matter how much of a myth they insist on creating. It would be a public service to educate the people on Ronald Reagan. I double dog dare you....

3. Do the Repubs want to review it
so they can launch a media attack against it, increase the right wing boycott of it before it airs? Seems like a huge push against it in the right wing press, which face it is just about all the press in the US, would only be an advertisement for it, and make MORE people want to watch it. I dunno, whats the RNC game plan on this?

4. I hope
CBS will not cave in but show the movie.repugs say one of their beefs is that young people who watch it will think that it is true since they don't know history on him. Well "leave no child behind" should fund schools to teach history rather than spend $87 billion to make history.

5. GILLEPSIE Said the RNC Will Pay for Ads Against It
Unfortunately, CBS just might cave. If they change ANYTHING the wingnuts will demand MORE changes, and no matter if EVERYTHING critical is taken out the wingnuts will continue their jihad against it just for the heck of BROLIN's playing the part. At least the publicity will increase ratings and LET the RNC throw some of their cash down the toilet of advertising against it.

8. Ugh...
Every night for like two weeks Joe Scarborough has been whining about this movie or had guests on to bitch about it. First of all I wish Joe would just suddenly die in his office like others he know does... and secondly since when would Republicans bitch if a Democrat was targeted for his shortcomings in office of the Presidency? I mean if there was a Clinton movie you know damn well they wouldn't chastize it (except for how they hammered the JFK movie for lying... maybe because one of their own Arlen Specter is made to look like the world's biggest moron for his Magic Bullet Theory)
