The playwright recently told The New York Times that he's determined to put Bush out in 2004.

Bring it on Mr Kushner! The ability of certain people to blame all their problems on the president, while taking absolutely no personal responsibility for their actions, is astounding.

Roy Cohn was the chief aide to Senator Joseph McCarthy. President Reagan hadn't even been thought of back in those days.

But perhaps there is a connection via the Hollywood blacklist, to which RR is said to have been sympathetic.....

[Hildy]

This was a play, won a Pulitzer...it was during a time that EVERY play on Broadway was about Homosexuality. I guess it still is. I wouldn't watch this if you paid me.

Uh sure he will, as soon as he gets the gerbil out of his...

"while allowing Angels to sneak in the back"

Freudian slip, peewee?

"The sensibility is Jewish, gay and urban."

Troubling.

[Zipporah]

Yuk.. all TV and movies have become is propoganda. Just as Christians were worried about Harry Potter saying the problem was witchcraft .. there is a more insidious message in those movies.

"lovers ripped asunder by the AIDS virus."

I just did some interesting and quick research on the web IDB, offered by the U.S. Census Bureau.

I set my parameters for child mortality and population as a whole, in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 1960 to the present. Since AIDS is such a highly reported epidemic over there among the kiddies and adults, the death trend should be reflective of said disease d' jour. What do you think I found?

That's right, no increase in child mortality at any time, just a decrease. There was likewise no reduction in population at any time, just a constant increase.

So, will someone tell me how such a mass killer is so ineffective? Maybe, just maybe, the AIDS epidemic is only a political reality. Since you can't justify billions of dollars in international welfare to a skeptical public, you can justify the looting of the taxpayer by saying (over and over again) ...it's for the children of AIDS parents ...AIDS isn't just for homosexual men spreading the virus through the thin, easily-torn membrane of the colon, African heteros get it too ...if we don't stop it there, we'll be next ...these people aren't suffering from ignorance, poor sanitation, immoral lifestyles, environmental pathogens, poverty, drugs or internecine warfare, AIDS IS KILLING THEM.

But in my bias & ignorance, maybe someone can enlighten me as to how an epidemic grows a population in all categories and leads to longer life expectancy in all age groups?

The gay media want to lay the thorn of crowns of the aids epedemic on Reagan. They failed in the Reagan movie, they'll try again in this POS failed Broadway play made large.

The only miracle drug for AIDS is Trinoasitol.

Trent Lott endorses murder. He knows that discrimination kills. Pope John Paul II endorses murder. He, too, knows the price of discrimination, having declared anti-Semitism a sin, having just canonized a Jewish-born nun who died in Auschwitz. He knows that discrimination kills. But when the Pope heard the news about Matthew Shepard, he too worried about spin. And so, on the subject of gay-bashing, the Pope and his cardinals and his bishops and priests maintain their cynical political silence. Rigorously denouncing the abuse and murder of homosexuals would be a big sin against spin; denouncing the murder of homosexuals in such a way that it received even one-thousandth of the coverage his and his church's attacks on homosexuals routinely receive, this would be an act of decency the Pope can't afford, for the Pope knows: Behind this one murdered kid stand legions of kids whose lives are scarred by the bigotry this Pope defends as sanctioned by God. None of these kids will ever be allowed to marry the person she or he loves, not while the Pope and his church can prevent it; all of these kids are told, by the Holy Catholic Church, and by the Episcopalians and Lutherans and Baptists and Orthodox Jews: Your love is cursed by God.-Matthew's Passion from The Nation, 11 November 1998)by Tony Kushner

[truthandjustice1]

"Wright is the only holdover from the Broadway cast, and he is silky beyond words, a one-time drag queen draped in a regal, compassionate hauteur stitched by Kushner out of language and sangfroid."

Sangfroid? Who talks that way?

This is a gay, sicko play, symptomatic of the larger homosexual problem: they're dieing, and no one cares.

Was that the one with "Archie Bunker?" I never saw more than a couple minutes of that... TV as entertainment was quickly waning for me even then.

[KC_Conspirator]

I'm also becoming sick and tired of the media's obsession with homosexuality.

Well thats just too bad because it seems that Hollywood is going to insert some sort of gay agenda into anything you watch on tv or see in the movie theater. Furthermore, more and more stories will appear on news shows, like this morning's show with Diane Sawyer, deifying gays. And if you don't like it shoved down your throat, then you are inseeeensitie and must join some sort of government ordered diveeeersity class.

If can't see the sarcasm, I am sick of it as well.

"A Republican president with a Republican Congress will destroy this country. These people are insane.-Tony Kushner coming out as a socialist interview

[lady lawyer]

As a lifelong Mormon, I have no doubt that this play is as nasty and inaccurate a caricature of our lives as The Reagans was of Ron and Nancy's real lives.

[lady lawyer]

To these people, any remaining twinge of conscience and morality is "hell on earth."

[Siamese Princess]

"The sensibility is Jewish, gay and urban."

Troubling.

I daresay very few Americans will be interested in watching this program. I mean, how representative of America is it?

Boston Public even has AIDS and a discrimation theme tonight on FOX.
