I don't think any of you realize how incidious this crap is.

With the population of the US changing, and many new citizens (legal and illegal), there are a lot of people that are absorbing recent US history from $hit like this.

For example: I have a fellow Doctor/colleague (Indian; a VERY educated and generally genial man) who in a conversation a year ago, started relating events about JFK and Nixon that were so twisted, my jaw dropped. Suddenly, I realized that he was drawing his 'facts' from the 2 Oliver Stone films by the same names and I politely asked him where he got his information from..........I was correct in my assumption that he had rented the two Oliver Stone films and had absorbed the twin indictments of (1) a corrupt US government that will stop at nothing if you get in its way and (2) the evils of the Republican Party as exemplified by Richard Nixon. I had to correct him and do 20 minutes of debunking about the two films and the career of the famous historian {/sarcasm}, Oliver Stone.

Believe me, folks THIS stuff is dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ask yourself how many naive people will be swayed by this and accept it as a correct portrayal of history........its on during prime time by a 'reputable' network, isn't it?

You are correct. This stuff is dangerous.

Ignorance is contagious when the tools of propoganda are in the hands of twisted and demented minds, and we see how demented Hollyweird is with their abusive behavior towards a pro-freedom foreign policy.

Too many ignorant people will not crack open a single history book after 8th grade social studies. When that book is liberal pap, and their following consumption is based on hollywood conspiracy theory movies and the leftwing media, you have a recipe for millions of willing dupes.

"Just ask yourself how many naive people will be swayed by this and accept it as a correct portrayal of history."

Answer: TOO MANY

We must fight on the airwaves,
We must fight on the news pages,
We must never ever give up,
