I had no opinion until I heard with my own ears the audio clips Drudge played today while he was subbing for Rush.
I was shocked and horrified by what I heard. Having lived through the Reagan years I found no similarity to this portrayal and reality whatsoever.
It really sounded horrific and was an absolute travesty. This actress playing Nancy is beyond over the top.
As to Gibson's movie. I've read much about the intentions of Gibson, read accounts by people who have viewed it with their own eyes, read accounts of those who worked on the film, and finally, I've viewed the trailer for the film many times. It is not comparable at all. Those who have not seen Gibson's movie are the critics. It is those who have seen or heard this Reagan movie, or read the script excerpts who are justifiably outraged.
I'm offended when I read my sister's history book about Reagan and Gingrich. Apparently Clinton saved us from Gingrich who hated black people. This is not just entertainment. It ceases to be entertainment when it defames a person that is still alive for the sole purpose of swaying people to believe that person was evil. Any entertainer or network that throws down a gauntlet against conservativism should expect to be challenged.
It's such a double standard, too. Remember everyone defending Mel Gibson's movie against all the criticism and saying the critics were wrong because they hadn't seen the movie yet.
Get a clue. Drudge played clips from the movie on the Rush Limbaugh show today. The critics of Gibson's film "thought" it "might" cause "feelings" of anti-semitism because it had the audacity to quote what the bible actually says. This film isn't based on anything except the DNC's "feelings" about Reagan. What experts were consulted?
