Conservatives should engage in an alout boycott of anything coming out of Hollywood.
For that matter any company that supports the leftist agenda should be boycotted by conservatives.
I take back anything I’ve ever said against Chris Wallace. Ron Howard recently has fizzled as a director, tied into his mutation into yet another agenda driven hack. “A Beautiful Mind” was indescribably boring and the patently anti-Catholic “The DaVinci Code” did not earn nearly up to expectations in the United States. I predict “Nixon/Frost” will tank big time a la Stone’s “W”.
This movie will tank at the box office.
We still don’t care.
I quit spending my money on anything Hollywood long ago.
Nixon was correct for breaking in to the democrat offices at Watergate. When you read the FBI files on the Viet-Nam Veterans Against the War, VVAW you see the real reason behind the breakin.
THe democrat party had very close ties to this US Terrorist group, a group that plotted to kill 9 US pro-war senators, blow up government buildings, attempted to kill VP Agnew, ran guns to a militant group in ILL, was involved in a pot to kill Nixon, gave military secrets to the NV, and Russians, prolonged the war resulting in more US deaths, worked in concert with NV and other communist groups against the war.
He should have said WHY they really broke in.
BTW- John Mccain is friends with a terrorist, John F. Kerry.
His next movie will be about the life and times of a railorad tie.
Right you are. Which means it will win several Oscar nominations and awards.
One of you explained that he ruined it for the commies. All the better. NO WONDER they still hold the hate torch for him. On Novemeber 5th history channel aired The Presidents. Nixon was all bad. However, Jimmy Carter crapped gold evidently.
Same old....
I find the History Channel is not usually biased.
I don’t care what Hollywood thinks about Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II or Obama. They produce partisan fairy/zombie stories and try to make us think they’re documentaries about actual history. Now and then they make a good movie but their political movies are mostly ads for the democrat party.
What happened to "Opie Cunningham" - did Hollyweird do this to him ?
Its worse.
Like now, classified information was turning up on the front page of the New York Times. He put together a team to try to deal with it.
Everyone understands that what they did was illegal. They forget that it was a response to treason.
Nixon overstepped in trying to protect the guys on his team, in part because he knew the kinds of things his opponents were doing and getting away with.
Have there been any movies lately about how Johnson became a billionaire on a public salary?
Any movies lately about how JFK destroyed Eisenhower’s Tibetan army? And then destroyed Eisenhower’s Cuban army? And then ordered the death of the president of South Viet Nam?
And they think Nixon is the Prince of Darkness?
More recently, anyone remember here lately how the Fannie Mae Freddy Mac episode, in which Democrat corruption played a huge part, was laid at the feet of GW Bush? And people bought it?
Or conversely, how CIA secrets consistently wind up on the front page of the paper, and Bush has failed to stop it? Nixon tried, and they hung him out to dry.
The left must always have its boogeyman. In my lifetime, that role has been filled by McCarthy, Goldwater, Nixon, Delay, Gingrich, Rove, and currently Palin. It all reminds me of the “two minute hate’ sessions in “1984”. It just seems Libtards desperately need some villian, real or imagined, in order for them to function.
Hollyweird has finally achieved its long time goal of brainwashing America to their way of thinking.
Exhibit A: BHO.
Exhibit B: Congress
Exhibit C: The youth of America
I've done that for years. Last movie I saw in a theater was the orginal Jaws.
Imagine if Nixon had sold a Senate seat to the highest bidder.
Imagine if Nixon had permitted a bank merger to go through in exchange for supression of negative stories in the press, as LBJ did.
What Nixon did was persue Communists in the 1950s and they always hated him for it.
We are told that taking on terrorists has made it worse for us among terrorists. Where are the successful hits? There have been some very small things aimed at the US, more in Spain, England, Bali, and now Bombay AIMED at Westerners but that is not US.
Bush has made us safer.
9-11 did not happen because we were fighting wars we should not have been. 9-11 happened because we weren't fighting a war that we should have.
>>Bombay AIMED at Westerners
Come on Weegee you’re smarter than that, don’t buy that MSM meme.
Of over 200 killed, some were Israelis/Jews, a handful Americans, but most were Indians.
In fact, more Muslims were slaughtered at the train station than Westerners.
They chose the Taj because of its profile; when bombs on commuter trains killed over 250 Indians in 2006, the Western press barely covered it.
Hence, a smart decision by jihadis to attack at least one place with foreigners, but TARGETING, NO, that was just gravy and frosting designed to grab Western media attention.
They asked anyone who was British to raise their hands. That is targeting Westerners.
I don’t put the stake of anyone over anyone else in the attack. But you have to take the terrorists at their word sometimes.
There are other attacks in India that have not gotten such global press.
But we have not had US embassies bombed, US planes bombed, US ships bombed, etc. We did under Clinton.
Little Dopie Cunningham makes some good movies but I won’t be watching any more of them.
