This didn’t strike me so much as a smear... though it will be taken that way by the Reagan-hating left.
The article clearly points out that Reagan didn’t give the FBI any “secrets” and that everything he said in opposition to commie groups in Hollywood he said publicly and often.
Reading this, though, made me think of the movie The Front, with Woody Allen. The most pretentious, self-absorbed, self-agonizing, self-pitying, self-congratulating movie ever made.
Worse than the commies who have infiltrated Hollywood from its earliest days are the PC types who find a movie like The Front “important”.
Can you imagine when they found out he was into even heterosexual incest (or darned near that). Heads were exploding.
