So the republicans who can't stand losing, always whine til they get their way, have apparently made another move to drive a stake into the heart of discourse of any kind. They have apparently succeeded in getting CBS to stop or at least "reexmine" The Reagans...cause they didn't like it. Waaaaah. Waaaah.
A Web site called boycottcbs.com recorded more than 45,000 hits in less than a week. Such commentators as Bill O’Reilly have made “The Reagans” the plat du jour on their menus, and the Republican National Committee now demands that CBS let historians vet the show.
What's next, the "In His Honor: The Nixon Years, A Tribute"? At least the Soviets tried to airbrush the dissenters out of the picture. literally. The republicans just want to eliminate them (us) with a touch of repression. How democratic. Not.

Right. If Democrats do it, it's repression and denial of free speech. If Republicans do it, it's the "voice of the people". Meet "Dumb and Dumber Do Democracy."
Next month on the History Channel: "Idi Amin: Bloodthirsty Butcher or Misunderstood Father of a Brave Nation??"...to be followed by "Josef Mengele: Cold, Heartless Torturer or Medical Visionary?" and "Josef Goebbels: Vicious Propagandist or PR Pioneer?"
