TV Writer Admits Concocting Reagan's Supposed Comment on AIDS

In the script of the controversial CBS miniseries "The Reagans," President Reagan is shown telling his wife, "They that live in sin shall die in sin" after she asks him to help AIDS victims.

That Reagan made any such statement is a flat-out lie, an invention of the script writer, one Elizabeth Egloff, who admitted to the New York Times, which obtained a copy of the script, that there was no evidence that any such conversation ever took place.

She claimed that "we know he ducked the issue over and over again, and we know she was the one who got him to deal with it."

"The Reagans," starring James Brolin, husband of multimillionaire Democrat activist Barbra Streisand, is due to be aired over two nights next month.

The pseudo-documentary makes "no mention of the economic recovery or the creation of wealth during his administration, key accomplishments to his supporters. Nor does it show him delivering the nation from the malaise of the Jimmy Carter years," the Times noted.

"The details the producers do choose to stress — like Mr. Reagan's moments of forgetfulness, his supposed opinions on AIDS and gays, his laissez-faire handling of his staff members — often carry a disapproving tone."

The Times quoted Michael Reagan, President Reagan's oldest son, identified by the paper as a radio talk-show host who reaches 2 million people each week, as writing: "I fully expect this mini-series will be largely unfavorable to my dad. Hollywood has been hijacked by the liberal left."

'Ugly Specter of Patriotism'

The producers and stars of "The Reagans" admit their own politics are leftist, according to the paper.

Australian actress Judy Davis, who portrays Nancy Reagan, demonstrated the depths of her depravity with this stunning comment:

"With the climate that has been in America since Sept. 11, it appears, from the outside anyway, to not be quite as open a society as it used to be. By open, I mean as free in terms of a critical atmosphere, and that sort of ugly specter of patriotism."

Love of country is "ugly"? Please keep talking, Judy, and reveal to everyone what a blame-America-first fanatic you are.
