| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Ronald Reagan's family has hit out at the producers of a new Hollywood film for allegedly portraying the former President as a racist. Ummm... It's a propaganda movie. What'd you expect? I think they've got some sort of Leftie Board of Censors that approves this sort of thing. The Republican icon is played by British actor Alan Rickman in The Butler, which tells the story of a black man who served in the White House for 34 years. However, his son claims that the portrayal implies that Reagan was prejudiced against black people, when in fact he helped the cause of African-Americans and showed friendship to the real White House butler.
He played Snape. plays Reagan, while anti-war activist Jane Fonda was controversially cast as his wife Nancy. You know all about Hanoi Jane. In the film - as in real life - Reagan invites the butler to attend a state dinner as a guest instead of an employee. But Gaines is uncomfortable with the experience, and turns against the President over Reagan's move to lift sanctions against South Africa over the apartheid regime. | |

| #3 Future generations will know Reagan based a lot upon this movie. The left does this a lot. The right needs to make a better movie that more people will see if they want the truth told. |

| #2 Anti-Communism is NOT "Racist", nor is, was or will be Reagan. (Too bad he's still alive, It kills all the Movies, and Movie makers ugly plots.) |

| #1 The rewriting of the Reagan era by Hollywood and through extension, the current regime, is essential. He was after all, he was a staunch an anti-communist. |
