...why don't they all just wait to see the film when it airs like the rest of us

"Hop on my back." said the sly fox.
"I will help you cross the river."
Before he knew it, the fox ate the gingerbread man.
Chomp!

BS is really full of herself. She is only part of this by accident of marriage. She could have rehabilitated herself by keeping her mouth shut and letting her husband be a man and deal with this herself. Instead she has to continue her emasculation of the poor slob.

Speaking of Clinton, can you imagine what a biopic of Clinton would include?

An NC-17 rating?

[elephant]

I saw "Babs" on the Oprah show about 2 weeks ago. They were talking about this movie and "Babs" said she just wanted the truth to come out (about Pres. Reagan).....thus her keen interest in the making for this mini-series.

[reasonseeker]

But they chose to do one on Reagan, rather than Clinton, even though the Clinton story obviously would be "sexier" and a more sure-fire ratings grabber.

No less a source than the World Health Organization recently said that Reagan was slow in responding to AIDS as a public health crisis, and could have even stopped the epidemic if he had taken it more seriously

I admire President Reagan, but singlehandedly stopping the AIDS epidemic? We know how its transmitted and via what behavior, and its still spreading in this country among certain age groups. What would his solution have been? Castration of the at-risk population?

[babyface00]

"certain age groups" should be "certain population groups"

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Reagan is glorified by conservatives because what other Republican leader of recent history are they going to point towards? Richard Nixon? George H.W. Bush? Newt Gingrich? Are these men worthy of exalt?

Well yes they are, even Nixon, who IMO should have stayed in office and fought it out.

So who do the Democrats have to exhalt? Carter? Billy Blow?

[Judith Anne]

Correct. The Amazon River will freeze over before I watch this piece of trash. If it smells stinky this far away, what would the stench be like up close?

[Libertina]

Ms. Streisand has never even read the script! She has also never seen the film, which stars her husband James Brolin

ROTFLOL Stop, my sides hurt.

Clearly the two statements (about AIDA) reflect the same sentiment! What a boob! One is a clear statement of wonder and thoughful searching while the other is a pronouncement of certitude. This is silly. The problem with the leftist revisionistas is that their flawed, hopeless (and hapless) ideology makes it difficult for them to carry on an intellectually satisfying debate. They just cannot make a point worth a darn.

Ohhhhhh, and the World Health Organization is just a bastion of clear thinkers with no political agenda.

Let's face it, the left was created by the left for the left. No one else understands their arguments. They are just tolerated - unlike their treatment of the right.


If it weren't for the right tolerating the left, the left would be history. After all, who do you think would win a physical battle? I can assure you it would not be the soft-minded, addled-brained leftists. They are too easy on themselves to practice any disciplines, including exercise.

Game, set, match - liberalism loses again.

The problem with the Democratic Party, Mr. (Zell)Miller says, is it has been taken hostage by "special interests with their own narrow agenda so far to the left that they're completely out of the mainstream."

So narrow they will do anything to discredit the Great Republican tax cutting, cold war closer.

So narrow they will work through the news media to undermine the effort to keep our troops safe in Iraq.

[sleepy_hollow]

Sorry, in my last post "(AIDA)" should read "(AIDs)".

My fingers are too strong from all of the weightlifting not being done by the left.

[mhking]

Furthermore, Ms. Streisand has never even read the script!

Bull.

[longtermmemmory]

BS did not want to be displayed on her knees for bill clinton. It ruins her macho image.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The truth? Ms. Streisand was on the set of The Reagans...

There you go. Not so hard.

[Billthedrill]

Well, WHO has in mind some steps that Reagan could have taken that would have limited the spread of the epidemic, but it isn't the sort of thing the Hollywood types or the AIDS activists really want to consider. Legal mandatory quarantine, for example (they'd be screaming "concentration camps" in ten minutes), mandatory testing for identified risk groups (imagine the reaction to that one!), investigation and publication of sexual histories of victims and their known contacts, forced closure of known vectors such as bathhouses; even in the United States public health has powers that not many are aware of, and many of these - mandatory quarantine, for example - have been reviewed by the Supreme Court and passed. (Some simply astounding steps were taken during the Yellow Fever epidemic of the early 19th century including stationing troops around infected towns to ensure that no one got out to spread the disease).

So, yes, there were things Reagan could have done that he did not. If he had, the ones doing the loud complaining now about inaction would have been the first and the loudest to scream about them.

[hotpotato]

"What is going on instead is that the Republicans, who deify President Reagan, cannot stand that some of the more unpleasant truths about his character and presidency might be depicted in the movie,"

I thought Babs hasn't read the script or seen the movie.

[Humbug]

For some odd reason i get the feeling that this piece purportedly written by Streisand's staff and those pieces purportedly written by Streisand herself are both authored by the same person; and that that person is not Babs.

CUBA is a world leader in aids treatment. This commie paradise does have mandatory quarintene of all HIV positive people on their island.

They also do not mention that 92% of all new aids cases in the USA are in homosexual men.
