Reagan Biographer Denounces Casting Fonda As Nancy in ´The Butler´
Newsbusters ^ | 8/14/13 | Ken Shepherd

Conservative PR guru and Reagan biographer Craig Shirley has an excellent piece over at Breitbart in which he explains why it is utterly detestable that anti-American leftist Jane Fonda was cast as Nancy Reagan in the new Hollywood film Lee Daniels´ The Butler, and not, it´s not just her infamous pose with North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns. Fonda, Shirley notes, sought to slam the door on Vietnamese "boat people" who were fleeing the brutal Communist regime, while other Americans across the political spectrum -- Shirley commends leftie folk singer Joan Baez for her advocacy of the boat people -- stood up

I can’t see why it matters much. No conservative is going to pay money to see Jane Fonda play anything, much less Nancy Reagan. And no liberal is going to pay money to see a movie about Reagan, regardless. In an era when Hollywood can’t get people to show up for their big special-effects-loaded blockbusters, no one is going to want to see this POS.

If the movie trashes him, they certainly will.

No, the Liberals will be looking for the Nancy Reagan character to show her true RACIST views in dealing with the Black Butler.

They couldn’t have picked a better Actress to make sure that idea comes through, even if the Script doesn’t blatantly show Nancy Reagan or her Husband as Racists.

A look, a scowl, a gasp, something in Jane Fonda’s face will give it away.

BTW - who is playing the obviously Racist Swiss Salesgirl opposite Oprah Winfrey in the Movie?

Having Jane portray any decent American would be an insult.

People on FB have really been active protesting this movie. Even young people are becoming aware of what jane did. A 22 year old stated she would be boycotting anything she was in.

I explained the whole Hanoi Jane thing to my 18 year old son. He was totally disgusted with her upon learning about it.
