"The way he really was" is not apparently an accurate statement (but since I haven't seen the show I can't be sure)

Outside of CBS, no one has seen the show. What was leaked was a sentence the actor playing Reagan says.........I paraphrase........those who have sex in sin deserve to suffer from AIDS. That was leaked and caused Reagan fans to go ballistic and deny that he said that.

Calling it censorship isn't really accurate either. CBS has not been forced to not air the show, and in any case the show is apparently going to air on Cinemax.

CBS hasn't been forced to go off the air but they have been strongly threatened with a lawsuit and a boycott. If that's not censorship per se, its very close to it. Other public figures have been portrayed unattractively on the tube and their supporters have not seen fit to scream bloody murder and ask for the show to be pulled.

To be frank..........I am disgusted. Reagan was not the saint conservatives make him out to be.........he wasn't a monster but he was human like the rest of us. And in LA, Nancy R. was known as a worse shrew than Hillary; in fact, she was known as a b*tch, rhymes with witch.

Conservatives have a very thin skin and they show it any number of ways.

They need to grow up!
