What were the Right's problems with the Reagan movie?
What were the big issues with the CBS Reagan movie? (I am trying to put together an LTTE)

If I recall, the main issue was attributing a Biblical quote to Reagan that denigrated people with AIDS. While not an accurate quote, it probably summed his actions/attitude on AIDS at the time. This was the part I recalled cited over & over again.

The only other thing I thought was that the producers tried to make a balanced film of Reagan, while the Right Wing thought it should have portrayed world leaders bowing to Reagan in rapturous awe.

1. That it was going to air...
I'm not trying to be facetious. Those that I heard speak of it, said it was disrespectful that they were going to air such a thing so soon after his death.

I'm sure there is more to it than that. Hopefully a Du'er more in the know will respond with more specific information.

Good luck with your LTTE.
