My basic take. Since they cannot get away with a falsified historical account, they must go with "art" and make any simile, metaphor, connection they want without scrutiny.

[longtermmemmory]

The commercial says nothing about this being an AIDS propaganda show. Hollywood needs to purge the leftists.

Perhaps the two were supposed to work in tandem. One creates the lie, and the second reinforces it.

[Rummyfan]

The only miracle drug for AIDS is Trinoasitol.

LOL!

Mike Piazza? Roberto Alomar?

[HitmanLV]

Actually I have no idea if this 2 part event is any good, but to be sure, this writer is awful. This reads more like a press release - her consistent over-the-top fawning hurts her credibility in a big way.

She probably graduated topps in her journalism school, though, so what do I know?

[3catsanadog]

There are gays called bug chasers who intentionally seek out HIV positive sex partners so they can catch AIDS.

And I'm supposed to be moved by this movie?

[3catsanadog]

I'm also becoming sick and tired of the media's obsession with homosexuality. I thought it was supposed to be nobody else's business.

Doncha love how they scream "what we do in our bedrooms is our business" and then proceed to plaster what they do in the bedroom all over the TV, in parades, to our children at school, and on and on, ad nauseum.

The only time a homo couple splits is because some Republican made their lives hell.

NOMINATION FOR QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!!!

Meryl Streep (Ethel Rosenberg) - Huh? Washn't she one of the Rosenbergs convicted of sending secrets to Russia?

[little jeremiah]

Please - you must add Barf Alert!
This was a three bagger.
IOW, "people living with AIDS" are the modern equivalent of saintly hermits in the forest.

[little jeremiah]

Reminds me of this statement I saw earlier today on FR:

"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own set of facts."

[pittsburgh gop guy]

More leftist agitprop trying to convince Americans that Reagan was the worst evil ever.

All the libs will rant about how great this is, but guess what, like 10 people will watch it.

HBO sucks.

[Dallas59]

So what am I supposed to do? I don't care about gay, urban Jews with AIDS. I wasn't there when "they" decided to exchange body fluids....nor was Reagan. I don't care. I'm not thier parents. Play with fire and you can get burnt. Real bad. They can do what they want to do with body fluids. Just don't force me to watch. I don't have too.

It's not against the law to ignore something that is not of my lifestyle.

[little jeremiah]

Yet another reason that I am very happy I don't have a TV, and it isn't against the law not to have one.

[Dallas59]

Heh...good ole "off" button.

[nonliberal]

Reagan crony Roy Cohn

Back the history truck up here. Cohn was an advisor to McCarthy, not Reagan. Cohn is the reason RFK left McCarthy's staff.

[Paul Atreides]

I'm not surprised. Boston Pubic is nothing but a liberal sermon in every episode. However, if it is a true representation of the public school system, it is no wonder that kids leave school, dumb as bricks.

[EveningStar]

Meryl Streep (Ethel Rosenberg) - Huh? Washn't she one of the Rosenbergs convicted of sending secrets to Russia?

Yes. The Left adores the Rosenbergs for that reason.
