RNC to produce counter movie, the "Real Reagans"

[RedSox02]

Looks like another fictional documentary on the Reagans will be made, this time however by the Republican National Committee.

"A release date has not been announced, and Republican National Committee spokesperson Christine Iverson would not expand on details about the production, but fund-raising for the project is about to start. "

1. We should demand a note every ten minutes

that this movie was not vetted by us, and is a purely fictional account of Reagan...

[Some Moran]

2. FUCK!

It better be fucking censored.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Yeah, that'll be real ratings winner. A bloody hagiography.

[lefty_mcduff]

4. I hope when they air it...

...the RNC gets billed for network advertising, at least at the rates for infomercials.

What is wrong with these people?

[The_Gopher]

5. complete with iran-contra, grenada, and increases in homelessness? yay!!!

[Scurrilous]

9. Hey...

..it it wasn't for Reagan, we'd all be speaking Grenadian right now.

[WoodrowFan]

12. be serious Mon!

(damn, I can't type in a pseudo 'Island" accent!)

[CMT]

6. and CBS will air it

in prime time.

[kentuck]

7. Is it gonna run on CBS ?

unbelievable.

[Ilsa]

8. They are going to spend money on this?

Let them. I hope they spend a hundred million dollars out of the pockets of gullible Repukes on this one.

CBS Boss Donates Testicles to Reagan Library

CBS Boss Donates Testicles to Reagan Library; new screenplay for Showetime to be written by Oliver North.(this may not be satire )

With responses: "Come on he didn't have any testicles to begin with and North is illiterate" and "My reaction also - once in a while we need a good laugh - :-) "

11. Can somebody produce an honest piece on Reagan

That shows how corrupt his administration was, his disdain for the poor & minorities, how he caused the deficit to soar to unprecendented heights (wasn't he the first to turn the US from a net creditor nation to a net debtor nation??), etc, etc...

[Dr Fate]

13. Actually, this is what they should have done in the 1st place...

...instead of shutting down speech, make MORE SPEECH.

Instead, they shut down speech they do not like, THEN they present their own unopposed speech. Cowards work that way- with the odds always in their favor...

14. Man, it's a shame that Leni Reifenstahl is dead

I think Ed Gillespie would have a bit of work for her.

I have no doubt that "The Real Reagans" will be a grotesque whitewash and Orwellian revision that would make ol' Hitler and Goebbels smile down there in hell, where Raygun will soon be.

15. The Real Reagans

[KissMyAsscroft]

16. I can see it now!

Nancy: "Ronnie, we must save the children!"

Ronnie:"I just have so much LOVE inside me!"

Nancy: "I feel the LOVE!!!"

Ronnie:"(rips off shirt to reveal giant S on chest) "Im off to save the world!"

barf.

[roguevalley]

17. Fine. Put it on the sale shelf with Bush's 9/11 fantasy and Mein Kampf:

The Home Movies.

[loudnclear]

18. Let them spend their money on real fiction.

Who cares. We have enough newpaper clips and video tapes from Reagan's term to get the truth out. And those of us who lived through those dark ages remember it well.
