Due to the wingnuts raising a furor? Funny that ABC isn't pulling the 9/11 fiction.

1. Yes!! Unlike ABC, the CBS miniseries was based on truth.

3. They complained because there was a conversation that involved
astrology which they claimed was too fictitious.

Republicans are just big babies and even bigger liars.

12. I thought it had to do with them depicting Reagan
as not caring about AIDS, because it was a "gay disease"

Apparently they thought it made him look bad.

6. ABC is running it without sponsors.
When I heard there'd be no commercials I knew the whole entire mess was being funded by Bushco in an effort to sway public opinion before the election.

No way it'll be pulled. Bought and paid for by Bushco.

7. A Play from Clear Channel's Playbook for sure....
Very close to what Clear Channel did to John Kerry before the election.... Let's face it, this media is bought and paid for by Republicans....
