The liberal media and specifically be very liberal Hollywood have an obsession with slamming conservative women.

Michelle Bachmann runs for president and the -- -- MS and BS try to marginalize her with slurs about her ability to lead at.

Sarah Palin face is constant mudslinging.

From liberals like Bill -- in the game change.

Now get this anti war liberal activist Hanoi Jane Fonda is gonna play not under.

Then beloved conservative icon Nancy Reagan in an upcoming movie called.

Bob Butler somewhere in Simi Valley -- is probably rolling over and saying well there they go again.

About I called my fellow conservative good friend -- event and we kick.

Why don't you see and then.

I had this brother and it actually looks good is -- scary thing but the truth I have birds.

That's another -- that any act you have got a lot of these things -- first -- -- I don't.

Say that that I also -- -- the Jane Fonda but.

I was proud of the arrested at the first demonstration at the Pentagon.

-- -- -- -- -- Canadians -- -- Vietnam and I I want to thank those soldiers wherever they are treated me relatively nicely.

But -- -- put flowers in the in the there are at your anti war.

-- -- -- I Wear this around here just you know I'm wearing this for ratings that's -- we're here.

-- you -- -- -- -- you Wear and tomorrow will you do that Jane Fonda -- RS.

No need now to -- like why didn't say how did you not I know people who did a lot of not.

-- but that you say this defense -- -- Jane Fonda made.

One very bad mistake in the Vietnam War days she was -- -- -- weren't Vietnam.

So was I.

So -- a lot of people it was a bad war it crosses 55000.

Americans not to mention -- -- houses civilians.

She did not actually helps but -- she is apologize for this year centers -- -- to do that was Vietnam veterans.

I think -- -- give this woman a break she's a very short period of her life.

All bets liars and hypocrites she called the people in charge of government that -- -- called presidents.

War criminals.

-- they weren't.

Eight Kimberly is it with Hollywood liberal media always going to trash -- -- This -- why -- greeted at the shop and I can write and you know what she should be off limits this is a dignified woman who has served her country well.

And this is really unfair that -- making these kind of attacks and upsetting her -- Her age given everything that she's been through -- in -- just mean spirited and I don't know why did thinks this is necessary units and port -- but apparently it's a -- popularity points.

To bash conservatives and to attacked.

-- -- -- -- Editors I gotta disagree I think this is an incredibly challenging role for change is gonna play an actual real human -- for once -- stunt casting like guy he had Rush Limbaugh plea -- Berra Bob you'd be upset.

But I wanna say there's a new bio movie coming out of Jane Fonda I decide Jane Fonda and I've actually been working with them -- suggestions on who should play Jane Fonda.

The first one is Steve Buscemi.

A great character -- perfect.

I don't think he may be Danny tree though remember Danny from machete I thought he'd be fantastic.

Yes my favorite of course is Michael Barry -- from the classic film the hills have -- -- on the cover would be a great Jane Fonda.

That the other thing I feared -- that is -- I remember seeing Jane Fonda was right in that.

Meet the lockers or something like that and yeah I can mother and lot -- imagine going from that to playing Nancy Reagan I got and got it in other smarting from Sheila Tate who -- the Press Secretary to mrs.

Reagan during -- during their White House years.

And I think she's got.

One it she said I -- those lines that was cheesy.

And then probably not a very good script.

And that because Jane -- bias.

Over the years she I would not be allow able to lose herself in the role and actually try to -- yeah.

A lot of them.

It's it's similar to Merrill -- when she played Margaret Thatcher she wins the Oscar -- -- was and she doesn't even mention Margaret Thatcher in her -- Thank you -- -- -- cash bonds Jane Fonda -- comes -- a very good actress number one number two this warrant VS.

Let's remember it started where they were they weren't they lied about it they've made up the golf but I can resolution read about is they -- -- -- I think where they illegal wars and lousy job podium and I'll tell you that was the worst most despicable war -- and -- retreated terror.

He's late and that's.

I -- a movie about Nixon wedding and it's right that doesn't there's a hundred wonderful more qualified actresses to play Nancy Reagan.

That this person this is eight this is a purer stunt casting in order to get people talk about and -- mentally and it worked and what it and Bob is dressed beautifully and like how hot is -- -- -- -- are not voting on it.

This is -- -- that is when the cops got you -- gently took these these off the use of deters China gets.

That's not that it does not really doesn't -- we got I don't have one quick question -- -- -- that one of the writers of the Butler this movie that didn't answer that.

I'm -- I was going to be -- it one of -- -- of that film is also one of the -- of game change this -- payment it's.

Yeah I mean come on these you don't even need to stretcher imaginations connect the dots on this one it's it's going to be -- and a conservative women aren't jobs program for Hollywood and it's -- -- I have all of their.

It's well I will say this they provide a lot of mr.

-- really -- Bob yes you're not immediately anymore about a medium yet does this mean you know.

Got a media coming -- and is it right at their own it's by.
