Hannity Sez The Reagan Mini-Series "Never Should Have Been Made"
So now the right-wing assholes are trying to expand their propaganda farther.

Thanks, CBS. You've enboldened the idiots.

12. quotes
I've beend debating a fairly open-minded friend of mine, and his point was that liberals would be up in arms if somebody they loved had an innacurate racist/inflammatory statement attributed to them like Reagan with "they that live in sin shall die in sin."

Has any miniseries/show had a Democrat or liberal uttering something that was inflammatory/racist and not actually said?

14. Perhaps not
but the conservatives called Bill Clinton a rapist, a murderer, a liar, a draftdodger, a cokehead, a pothead, and about a million other names. Could they prove any of this? Nope.

They spent eight years trying to destroy Bill Clinton, and they're still blaming him for all our problems today. They expect me to be angry because somebody's putting out a movie about Reagan that paints him as a human being and not as a saint?

Reagan is fair game.

2. When you think of ALL the mini-series, movies, etc. about Kennedys
over the year, you realize what scum Repukes are.

And you also realize that their tactics are working--they scared the shit out of CBS. And it's not just CBS, any network would have pulled it after their campaign of terror an intimidation.

Ok, how do we fight back? Do we let CBS know that they should be just as afraid of us?

4. I think Hannity and his friends should be censored from spreading...
the bullshit myths about Reagan. I've never heard any of them say anything negative about Reagan and there was a lot of ammo, believe you me.

6. CBS should have stayed with it
I think it was a dumb idea to begin with for CBS to think they would be able to run a profile of Reagan that would not raise the ire of the right without it being a total tribute to the guy.

However, once they decided to go ahead with it, they should have just shown it and let people be the judge. Now they have hurt hteir credibility even mroe. The Right already hates every network besides Fox, and now the left will distrust CBS too.

11. "How Dare You Dishonor Our Fallen Heroes". What about...
"Curse of Power"? That disparaging POS about the Kennedys showing all the retribution they have received for all their evil doings.
There was another one about how JFK was a disgrace for hiding the fact that he had Addisons Disease during his shortened term.
The RW is and has been dishonoring "our" heroes for years.

Fuck the RW and Fuck CBS for caving in to the bu$h censorship policies!

10. There's room in the "liberal media" for DC-911 and the Jessica
Lynch story, though. Funny how that works.

16. Locking....
2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

But please feel free to repost omitting the profanity.

Thanks,
