CBS Reagan Movie - This was Posted on the Free Republic
This is directly quoted from Free Republic.

"I just heard some excerpts of the bash movie that CBS is airing to attempt to destroy the legacy of Ronald Reagan. Matt Drudge played parts of it when he filled in for Rush this afternoon. It is way beyond anything you can imagine. I already told CBS what I think of them. I hope they are ground zero in the next attack and I hope all them glow green in the dark, it will make them easier targets if they survive. "

****

This is frightening lunacy! We must support CBS and its advertisers.

1. Reagan movie on CBS
I was listening to Drudge this afternoon. Conservatives are trying to organize a big
watch-out. When is the show on? Must see it! It sounded exciting. The last part was about the Iran Contra heist.

3. At least...
..Free Republic is not a hate group. They wish nothing but flowers and sunshine to everyone...(sarcasm off)

...Where is that lawsuit that FR slapped onto Fresno a month or so ago...

4. Oh, please, please boycott
all you dumbass freepers. It'll get everyone stirred up to actually watch the damn thing. Boycotts very often, particularly political boycotts, have the opposite of the intended affect. It is pleasing to see that the idiots learned nothing from the O'Reilly/Franken incident!

The life of Ronny appeals to me in no way, but you can bet I will watch it if they start a boycott. Times like this make me wish we were a Neilson household...

8. Do Porta-Potty Companies Advertise on CBS????
We know that Freak Republic rents them for their "high-attendance" pro-war rallies.

13. Or what about those "Find-a-truck" services
When Jim-Bob and Bobby-Joe get their truck towed after illegally parking to stage their counter rally in the mall with <gasp> tens of attendees.

9. I wish all of the wing nut would boycott CBS.
Then they would take JAG and NCIS off the air.

11. Shows you that the freepers are worse than terrorists...they are cowards!
Cowards who can't stand a different view of anything.

I am sure that they are afraid that too much truth will come out and destroy not the legacy, but the "myth" of the Reagan years.

12. I hope they throw slime all over that son of a ....
... biscuit eater. He was a war criminal who supplied weapons to both sides of an armed conflict (Iran-Iraq war) , and funded death squads in Central America.

He was a butcher.

14. Just in case no one noticed, we are fighting a civil war:
"I already told CBS what I think of them. I hope they are ground zero in the next attack and I hope all them glow green in the dark,"

This is what it's all been all about. The conservatives have been trying to stifle the truth for years now and play just their pansy ass version. It's time to fight back and just tell them, NO!

15. When does it air?
I don't want to miss it. I think we should all call in on Hannity and Drudge and call their attention to the quote from the freeps. You would think that people with supposed to be intelligence would be embarrassed with these kind of supporters.

16. Support CBS and sponsors of the mini series
I doubt seriously if the FReepers' little campaign will stop the airing of the show, but we need to counter it anyway. I wrote to CBS and several of the sponsors and told them I would watch the movie and decide for myself whether it is biased or not. I don't need the folks over in FReeperville to make that decision for me.

Here is the thread on FR

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1007267/posts

They have conveniently provided the links to feedback pages for the sponsors of the mini-series. Please take a few minutes and write the sponsors to express your support.

The odd thing is, I probably wouldn't have cared two hoots about the mini-series except that the wingers are having such a conniption fit over it. Now I'm going to be sure to watch it.

And I didn't hear ONE WORD from the FReepers about the inaccurate and clearly partisan DC 911 Showtime movie. Go figure.
