Streisand Blames Reagan for Her Son's AIDS

We don't usually report what's in the National Enquirer, but we have to point out the hypocrisy of the left-wing media establishment, which gladly cited the tabloid's reports on Rush Limbaugh but has been silent on its drug allegations about NBC's Matt Lauer and now new revelations about Democrat diva Barbra Streisand.

The Enquirer's Nov. 25 issue charges, "Barbra Streisand's fanatical support of the CBS movie smearing President Ronald Reagan wasn't just politics - it was personal!"

Babs' son, Jason Gould, who appeared in her movie "The Prince of Tides," is infected with AIDS, the tabloid says, and she has repeatedly cited the Democrat party line that Reagan should have done more to stop the disease.

She said as far back as 1992 that she would "never forgive" Reagan for his positions on AIDS education and research. "Streisand hates Reagan so much it clouds her judgment, insiders insist," the weekly reports.

The Enquirer notes that Malibu Barbi has worked on at least three projects with the producers of "The Reagans," Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, "who are known for their gay advocacy projects and remakes of musicals."

"There is absolutely no way Barbra didn't see the script before production started," the Enquirer quotes a source as saying.

Michael Paranzino, a former GOP congressional staffer who launched BoycottCBS.com, said, "And that is why CBS found themselves just three weeks out, realizing that they had a hatchet job on their hands."

So how come the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, CBS etc. cited the Enquirer's reports on Bill Clinton and O.J. Simpson but are giving Streisand a pass?

Would have done the trick? If that's the case, why are homosexuals still spreading AIDS through bathhouses, "gay" bars, wild parties, unprotected sex with multiple partners, etc. They seem to have a death wish....

Well, first of all, public health authorities still have not taken the most basic measures that are taken in most every epidemic: mandatory testing, reporting, and contact tracing. And they have not closed the bathhouses in most cities, San Francisco being the exception.

But more to the point, the number of new AIDS cases has been declining for some time now. Most sodomites have changed their behavior, taking more precautions , though some do continue to engage in unprotected sodomy with multiple partners. The success of the new antiviral treatments at postponing the onset of AIDS after an HIV infection has made some of them take a cavalier attitude toward prevention.

[Chantal]

It has more to do with the combination of a neurotic mother and an absent father. The son would have been better raised by his dad....at least he would have had a chance.

[L.N. Smithee]

She needs to read And the Band Played ON,,the lack of an early response to aids was mostly because of the gay community not wanting their bath houses closed down.

That's right. And in some radical gay circles, author Randy Shilts is vilified for having told the truth. But a funny thing happened to And The Band Played On on the way to television: Shilts, who admitted years hence he had contracted AIDS himself, made certain that gays' own part in the initial spread of AIDS was downplayed, saying that his goal in allowing a miniseries based on the book was to reduce homophobia, not increase it.

Seems to validate the claim that boys become gay when they have an overbearing b*tch of a mother, doesn't it?!

[HardStarboard]

>>>Actually, if true this would lessen my contempt for BS<<<

Huh? Run that by me again, slowly this time!

[HardStarboard]

>>>Barbara also thinks her AM radio won't work in the afternoon. <<<

Nice shot!.....Dead On!

I think the only reason Jason got pulled into this is his mother's fault. She's stupid for blaming Reagan --- Clinton said he'd find a cure for AIDS and didn't do anything about it.

[Judith Anne]

Actually, when Clinton was governor of Arkansas, the Arkansas prisons were selling inmate blood, some of it HIV infected, to Canadians for transfusion.

There is some evidence that Clinton knew of the risky blood, and let it be sold anyway. The possibility exists, and some assert it is true, that Clinton benefitted financially from the blood sales.

As I understand it, there were (and possible still are) lawsuits over people in Canada who died from HIV infected blood sold by the Arkansas state prisons.

[FITZ]

That's true --- but of course that doesn't matter to Streisand. She's sickening --- and for the sake of her son, you'd think she wouldn't try to twist his illness for her political agenda --- I don't think she does love her son at all --- he's just a prop for her liberal views.

[RLK]

Since it was so at variance with the facts, I was wondering if you had any thought about why (I mean, why him).

-----------------------------

A good question. The full answer would require hundreds of pages.

What exists is a large liberal group who needs to blame the problems they create on other people.

Reagan was the last gasp of a though generation that forbid blaming the problems you created for yourself upon others, on the philosophy of, "You laid it. You hatch it."' It infuriates members of a generation and a generational subculture that wants its way and is still attempting to prove it is/was right about everything.

There is a class of people with negatively polarized personalities who's entire life is their hatred. They have nothing else. They need a target for that hatred in order to keep their personalities from collapsing. Reagan continues to be that target as he symbolizes everything they are dependent on hating.

That's part of it.

Dear Babs,
If your son is a non-drug using straight male, then I'm sorry for his troubles. If, however, he's the opposite, your queer son is ill because he didn't keep his pecker in his pants.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

"Then you don't think straight males should keep their "peckers in their pants"?"

Yes I do, but most straight males aren't passing along a killer disease.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

He willingly took an AIDS injection.

I hope he does not die, but he chose his fate and must ASSume responsibility.

What on earth is wrong with her teeth in that cover photo??

Yuck.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

She has icky teeth.

[Geezerette]

She and Hillary both have icky teeth. You'd think that with all their $$$$, they could do something about that.

having Reagan as pres caused her son to get aids? following that logic, having clinton as pres should have cured him of aids right?
