Reagan and the Liberal Arts...the execution of a propaganda film

Oregon Magazine ^ | November 4, 2003 | Larry Leonard

Chevrolet and Hallmark (if the latter’s involvement was finally confirmed by the internet sleuths at forums like Free Republic) apparently got ... the ... message.

They contacted executives at CBS, it seems, and pointed out that their commercial support of liberalism in America stops at the point where fifty million people announce that if they see those commercials they are going to cease buying their cars and their cards. There is these days, I am happy to report, a certain risk when a corporation decides to finance a “literary” version of a DNC campaign attack commercial.

As storm winds blow towards the low with angry purpose, radio and the internet made a connection between the national high pressure of stored conservative frustration and the intellectual and artistic vacuum – the region inhabited by Barbra Streisand, Tim Robbins and the CBS programming department’s proposed airing of a film that trashes the Reagans.

The angry winds did blow with a wondrous force.

Arrogant liberal eyes narrowed, and arrogant liberal heads swung to the right and saw with growing apprehension the thunderclouds of a titanic storm racing towards them.....(SNIP)

*ahem!*

We conservatives in Oregon know that we do have this...one...voice -- Oregon Magazine. It is our lifesaver! Larry Leonard, if you'll check the archives and the editorial pages, consistently blows the libbies to smithereens!

[WaterDragon]

The author doesn't pull any punches does he?

He's never been known to do so, to the best of my knowledge!

Actually, it was Woodrow Wilson's wife, who acted for him for a couple of years or so after he had a stroke while in office.

Expand the boycott.

Expand the boycott.

To cancelling Showtime?

[thucydides]

It is not enough to cancel Showtime - it is complaints to their advertisers that will do the job. Showtime probably will not respond to cancellations, but advertisers don't advertise to get any negative response, and it won't take too many communications before they tell Showtime to drop it or they will take their ad budget elsewhere.

[WaterDragon]

You're right. Have to remind people of this who are talking about cancelling Showtime.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

To all big network liberal propaganda.

C BS taking a fall here is a great victory in the culture war. The libs are squealing like crybabies on TV as we speak. They are WHINING about CBS caving in. It's like the devil biting his own tail. They're on the run. Hit them again while they still have egg all over their face. They look like fools.

[freekitty]

You are right. I was just pointing out Miss Hitlery's illegal power grab.

[WaterDragon]

Take a look at this....

[WaterDragon]

RC....take a look at this!

[5veingrafts]

Actually, Mrs. Wilson was the first woman president.

[5veingrafts]

Showtime doesn't have advertisers. Thay have subscribers and a parent company.

[5veingrafts]

I didn't see your post until after I answered. Kudos to you for the earlier answer on Mrs. Wilson.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, WD! Big grin here. That was welcome.

I'm still stung by the treatment of our gracious First Lady by America's poets harpies.

[WaterDragon]

*curtsy* You're very welcome, RC!

[freekitty]

You are right. I was just pointing out Miss Hitlery's illegal power grab.

[5veingrafts]

LOL! It's only news when the Clintons do something legal.

[Wolfstar]

Thank you for your kindness, 5veingrafts. Doesn't hurt anything if more than one us takes the time to remind others of history. Nevertheless, I do appreciate your taking the time to post your 'kudos.'
