Might get dumped. CBS will take a hit if they run this.

People will see it as disrespectful to a dying President and his wife.

He is interviewing Monica Collins, tv/movie critic for the Boston Herald, who thinks it is an ok presentation. She is defending it.

David Nelson, Asset Manager (not sure for whom), is also defending it.

Neither think it will hurt CBS in any way.

There's talk that if we keep on giving hell to CBS about the Reagans movie, they'll pass it on to Showtime, and bury it under the grave of premium cable (that's what I saw on MSNBC this afternoon, anyway)

Procter and Gamble are having a frickin' heart attack right now.

The guy must have said "Procter and Gamble" 10 times.

By the way,this may be Procter and Gambles' email for comments.

CBS has their back against the wall on this, thanks to those who have been protesting it to them, to the potential sponsors and to the media. We are winning. But we can't let up.

Write or FAX Moonves, Redstone, et al and keep the pressure up. They are on the run.

Question: How do the networks arrive at their "ratings" figures? Is it all through Nielsen and other such companies with direct hook ups to selected TVs or do they do surveys or a combination?

You know, we all have joked and vented and blamed and ignored and commented and criticized this "movie" ...in one way or another, myself included.

But seriously, this really ticks me off. I just cannot take this in stride like all that other evil crap the liberals have been spewing for 30 years.

Why this? Why is this my line in the sand? Why is my Chrisitian Spirit challenged to maintain civility in light of this particular event?

Maybe because I remember being a young kid, just out of college, making $13,000 a year, looking at 20% interest rates, 15%+ mortagage rates, thinking I'm NEVER going to have a chance like my parents did.

Maybe because I remember that sinking feeling of hopelessness seeing our hostages being paraded around in Tehran like animals...nobody doing anything to save those poor people...the disaster "rescue attempt" in the desert...etc.

Maybe because I actually wondered at one point if our time (America) was over and those God-less Russians and Chinese were going to rule us one day, soon. That my Dad fought in WWII for...for THIS?.

And then came...

PRESIDENT REAGAN.

All that changed...ALL OF THAT! Confidence in America came back, the stranglehold the unions had on our businesses disappeared, I got a HUGE RAISE [can you spell t-a-x-c-u-t], the Commies were reeling, our military was on the rebound, the stock market rocketed UP, New York City began to recover [my home at the time], it was OK again to be a businessman, make money, be patriotic, talk about God, care about family.

The 60's and 70's were pronounced OVER AND OUT!

I love President Reagan as much as I love any mortal man that ever lived. He means the world to me and many people my age who were there and who remember!

How these evil and sick people (CBS, Moonves, Streisand, etc), and yes, they are evil and sick, could do this to a former President of the greatest nation on earth, our home, our beloved America, while he is dying a slow, sad, tragic death, with his undyingly loyal wife at his side the entire time...he can't defend himself, he shouldn't even have to.

It's beyond despicable.

Today I refered to every Democrat I know, to their face, as being mean. I will never refer to Democrats again, whether in person, third person, email, voice mail, snail mail, quail mail...without saying it as one word...

MEANDEMOCRAT

Rant over. Thanks to anyone who read this far.

God Bless America and God Bless President Reagan.

Bill O'Reilly pinned the tail on the CBS rat jackasses, perfectly.
