He was my congressman as well and I concur with everything you said. I spend years trying to defeat the guy, even came VERY close to running against him myself in 1994, but if even half of what this movie portrays about him is true we owe him a debt of gratitude for his efforts in ths ONE area.
The movie is about Charlie Wilson. The focus purpose of this thread is about staunch life-long Republican and anti-communist Joanne King Herring of Houston, Texas, who is a major power player in the GOP inner circle. Charlie Wilson would be a blowout out bum in the gutter had it not been for Joanne.
The second purpose of this thread is how several well informed GOP operatives keep this movie from being another anti-war Democrats-Soros Shadow Party hit piece by cutting the D-SSP off at the knees. And, they used a "yellow dog" Democrat attorney, and major power player, Dick Deguerin of Houston, Texas to do it... who is also Tom "still The Hammer" DeLay's attorney. (You can do the math)
Charlie was very honest that the liberal democrats director and producer made him out to be a much better person that he really was, and gave him more credit than he deserved, in the movie. But the flip side is, for a CIA covert operation as high stakes as this one was, Charlie was a perfect candidate. If the deal went bad the FBI investigates and arrests “yellow dog” Democrat Charlie for all his crimes, and he is easy for "the powers" to destroy in the MSM to cover up the “GOP White House didn’t know anything about it” gone bad operation. The CIA specifically looks for guys like Charlie for their dirty work and he was well vetted before they got involved and used him. Is anyone dumb enough to not understand that President Ronald Reagan, and his White House inner cabinet circle, were well briefed and informed on Charlie-Gus & Co.'s activities on a detailed and on-going basis.... and that Reagan & Co. was pulling their strings?
Lookit, Charlie Wilson is dying. So let the man have some brief limelight for participating in a significant historical event, that many Americans and other people around the World don’t know the details.... in which much of the key information is still classified. So what if it includes some of the liberal slant and pumped up BS about the man.
THE bottom line is, like the Nazis, we kicked those Godless Commie bastards ass! Communists....., along with Fascists, Atheists, Socialists, and other ultra liberal and radical POS’s that support the DemoRATs-George Soros Shadow Party, and the Clinton Regime, efforts to destroy our great Country called the United States of America . - FlA
