Disgusting!… As Her Health Continues to Fail, Libs Depict Lady Thatcher as Crazy Old Granny in New Film
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, August 21, 2011, 12:06 AM
You just knew this was coming… Especially, after they cast ultra-lib Meryl Streep to play the role as Lady Thatcher. Friends are aghast that the liberal movie on Lady Thatcher depicts her as “granny going crazy.”
Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has suffered several strokes in the last few years. Now liberals are depicting her as a crazy old hallucinating granny.

Lady Thatcher’s children are also reportedly upset that far left activist Meryl Streep is making a movie depicting their mother as senile and regretful.
The Daily Mail reported:
Friends of Margaret Thatcher last night expressed their revulsion at a new film that shows her having nightmares about the miners’ strike and the Falklands War, while her late husband Denis appears as a ghost in a pink turban raging at her -‘insufferable’ selfishness.
Viewers invited to an early screening of the film, The Iron Lady, starring Meryl Streep as the former Prime Minister and Jim Broadbent as Sir Denis, were aghast at the way that it mocks her frail condition in recent years.
One called it ‘insulting’. Another said: ‘I didn’t come here to see a film about granny going mad.’
One person who attended the event, organised by Anglo-French film-makers Pathe to test audience reaction, has given a detailed account to The Mail on Sunday.
In the film, Lady Thatcher constantly hallucinates, under the impression that her husband, who died in 2003, is still alive.
Pathe says the story is about ‘power and the price that is paid for power’ and claims her health is ‘treated with sensitivity’. It concedes the film is fiction but says it is ‘fair and accurate’.
Made by Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd, The Iron Lady is based on a script by UK screenwriter Abi Morgan, whose television drama credits include The Hour and Sex Traffic.
Friends of Lady Thatcher are also furious at the timing of the film, which is due to be released in January. The former Prime Minister has been forced to give up ¬public appearances following a series of strokes and is so poorly she was unable to attend the unveiling of a statue of her political ally Ronald Reagan in London last month.
Conservative MP Conor Burns, one of her closest confidants, said last night: ‘Any portrayal of Margaret Thatcher that does not show her as one of the titans of British politics in the 20th Century will be a travesty.
‘The idea that Denis would ever have been cruel to her is twisted and untrue. They were devoted.’
The Daily Mail posted this list of the things the movie got completely wrong:

Liberals are never satisfied until they can brand anyone who doesn’t share their views stupid, backwards, crazy, heartless, and criminal. They dredge up the dead and attack the aged because the hate never stops. And the attacks are ugly, personal attacks, not thoughtful and balanced analysis. The liberal geniuses and intellectuals somehow can’t detect the ridiculousness of their delighted wallowing in Jerry-Springer level garbage while imagining themselves to be on a higher plain than the rest of us. If the film and television industries were dominated by conservatives, I can’t imagine they would be foisting non-stop, poo-flinging high-school melodramas demonizing long-ago liberals on the viewing public.
Freddy commented:
The radical left will not rest until every truth is twisted into lies.
The TRUTH is what the socialist left FEARS above all else.
Opaobie commented:
Just about the time Perry entered the race, some history revisionist released a book, purportedly based on “new discoveries” from a Mexican soldier’s journal, that claims the battle of the Alamo is not at all as history recorded it and that several of the heroes, including Davy Crockett, were captured in a pre-dawn raid on the Alamo and executed with swords. The depravity of these Leftist America-and-International-Hero-haters who want to destroy every virtuous icon and muddy every moment of pride in history knows no depths, and the Thatcher-hit-piece movie is another clear example. Don’t ever see another one of their movies or performances or attend concerts that support them again….EVER.

Re #6 — I won’t. And I haven’t — for years…probably decades now.
K~Bob commented:
Okay, that’s vile. But let me lay some logic on these idiots:
Let’s grant their disgusting premise here for just a second. Thus: if you have to be senile and stroke-affected to start , just, y’know, maybe sort of thinking the left is correct…
…then what does that say about the left?
Island Girl commented:
In her day MT hit it out of the park.
Merryl Streep is always making stuff up. What’s new?
Rose commented:
No doubt Streep is thrilled. They did the same to the movie of the life of Corrie ten Boom by sticking anti-zionist Lesbian Julie Harris in “The Hiding Place” as Corrie’s sister Betsie – promising the movie would never be made at all, otherwise, and Corrie was still alive when they did that to her.
Union rules.
We’ll see where their union rules get them at the Gates of Heaven!
Rose commented:
#6 – AMEN! Long Standing.
My family have been in Texas since the days of the Alamo, and have lived in the shadow of it. It is amazing to go their and see the diaries and letters of these men, as they poured their hearts out for those weeks they waited in the Alamo for that final battle. It is amazing to see the battle fought in politics as Liberals have fought to get all those documents into their own hands.
They made some progress in those lawsuits against the DAR this year, sad to report.
Never feed Hollywood Marxists!
Rose commented:
#2 – and Streep won’t look nearly so lovely as she does imitating Margaret, when Meryl is in Hell.
And Margaret is in Heaven.
American Woman commented:
I detest them for doing this to someone’s memory, but it is par for the course.
Hollywood is full of amoral people with severe mental problems, who actually believe they can tell us how to act and what to think.
Stupid and insensitive, they haven’t a clue about how they are perceived.
ohiochili commented:
Think about it. The Hollywood Left most always portrays conservatives as evil, immoral. or crazy. The general who wants to blow up the world, the cleric who bans dancing or rapes little boys and girls, the president who willingly will kill his own daughter, judges who murder poor, misunderstood drug dealers – I am sure everyone can think of some example of the conservative villain.
With Lady Thatcher, they really could not find much of a flaw, so they have to soil her reputation by the invention of a regretful, haunted, senile old fool. People will believe because if it’s in a movie, it just must be true.
I simply cannot wait for the Ronald Reagan movie….
b commented:
Any movie with Meryl Streep in it is guaranteed to be a box office flop.
Carbon Pootprint commented:
They have “leaders” like Obama so they have to make up bull$hit about the other side bahahhaha
Looking forward to the collapse of California and watching the little parasites eat the big parasites.
a former dem commented:
As someone who recently started to learn more about Thather and have listened to many of her speeches on Youtube as well as reading her words and actions from people with her own administration, I’m pretty shocked that Hollywood, especially Meryl Streep, who I used to like would be this ignornat and stupid.
Looks like Hollywood of the old days like when Jimmy Stewart, who served in WWII, are no longer there and haven’t been there for many years, and former lefties like me have just realised all this since 2008.
I don’t waste a cent of my money on any hollywood productions, music, nothing…. nothing but America-loathing scum.
As for Meryl Stewart, I’ve put her in the Matt Damon caterory, too stupid to reailse how ignorant she is.
Lurvelymomma commented:
I have long considered Streep to be past her expiration date and straining painfully to be relevent to her Leftists in The Wood. I have not seen a movie of hers for years and have no plans to change my mind.
Madame Thatcher’s life has been one of honorable service. In ten years, history will remember Thatcher’s name. History tends not to remember court jesters and trained seals like Meryl Who.
vityas commented:
Streep has (may still have for all I know) a house in Northwestern Connecticut. She went to the Town Hall to tell the First Selectman (mayor) that there should be rules about the locals shopping on the weekends because they were cluttering up the place/taking all the limited parking spots that the weekenders like her needed. She is a mean, arrogant b*tch of the first order.
Everything is political for the left. If they think maligning a frail, aging woman to score a political point, all’s fair in war. They are without humanity, compassion or decency. They are wild and frantic and without rationality
apodoca commented:
The pictures of Thatcher and Streep say it all. Thatcher’s face is vibrant and alive with character and intelligence. Streep only has cheekbones going for her. Her face is vacant and lacking in character. It is Palin and Tina Fey all over again. The active doers, Thatcher and Palin, have intelligence, vivacity, and character seeping out of their pores. The Hollywood imitations? Just the blank faces of do -nothing imitators whose only talent is parroting false words and faking emotions.

Ipso Facto commented:
Fu*k Hollywood!
I never see their movies. I only watch foreign films and over the years it has become very obvious that the films produced in Hollywood are shallow stories about banal characters with weak dialog and they employ every drama cliché in the book – along with, of course, putting forth their liberal political agenda.
Hollywood is the capitol of shallowness and superficiality. In the foreign films, the characters look like real people, and they don’t put them in stupid and predictable situations where everyone knows the outcome. You will see real creativity instead of the Hollywood re-cycled plots and actors that we have all become bored with.
The self-absorbed actors in Hollywood movies walk on the set and they stand on a mountain of other people’s work and accomplishments, reading scripts written by others, but they walk off believing that they are the ones who bring home the bacon – this is nothing but ego masturbation.
Besides making inferior productions with recycled plots, using the same old actors and weak dialog, these shallow hypocrites want to tell us how to run the world? Make no mistake, all of the cosmetic surgery today is in response to the images put forth by Hollywood. When you see all the young girls who are dressed like hookers – thank Hollywood. If your kids are acting dumb and they are involved in hoodlum worship, violence or drugs – thank Hollywood. And then, there is over-the-top gratuitous violence in Hollywood films that is infecting our entire society. Did you ever notice how they so fervently want peace (remember Jane Fonda) but they kill more people and destroy more things in their films then our military has in decades.
If you watch their crap, not only do you become shallow and stupid, you finance their uber-liberal political agendas. Watch the foreign films – you’ll laugh, cry and find yourself enjoying real talent putting on creative productions that will stay with you for a lifetime. As I said up top, Fu*k Hollywood, it’s the catalyst for the degradation of our entire culture.

that is the reason I will not go to any movies due to the liberal hollywood turds…start boycotting all movies people
Steve in TUlsa commented:
Another false re-telling of history by hate filled leftists. Streep is another ignorant leftist. Remember this as the run their election ads. Everything the left says is name calling. THe left cannot defend their bumpersticker policies so they resort to name calling. And this lovely old woman who helped take down the soviet union deserves more than mocking films that portray her as haunted, lost, and in despair. The hate filled left will always be this way. They will riot, vandalize, and even shoot at people for as little as simply being a private contractor who isn’t in a union.
Hugh commented:
“Pathe says the story is about ‘power and the price that is paid for power’ and claims her health is ‘treated with sensitivity’. It concedes the film is fiction but says it is ‘fair and accurate’.”
Fair and accurate? According to who? The only point of intentionally misrepresenting the facts surrounding a living historical/political figure would be to revise the general perception (aka–entertain the “idiots”)–what other point would there be to misrepresenting the facts? And this is made even more evident by the seemingly consistent negative and unflattering bent of the “fictional” parts. These movie people are shameful. It makes them look very small, pathetic, and delusional. I do appreciate that they are so consistent about self-identifying. They can’t help themselves! Love it!

It all boils down to respect. Hollywood is comprised of people who make disgusting films that results in them having no respect for themselves. If you have no self respect, you can’t respect anyone. IMHO
Colint commented:
Elderly people often can’t remember what happened yesterday but retain vivid memories of what happened years ago. I hope Sarah Palin is able to visit Lady Thatcher. I expect she has memories of Ronald Reagan which Sarah woild like to hear.
overthehillbill commented:
Boy, the people who I allow into my home via the tv screen is getting shorter every day!
chuck in st paul commented:
Just another junk film destined for the trash heap. Streep’s only done a couple of good roles completely paved over with all the crappy roles in crappy movies, many of which didn’t even make a profit.
Drain the swamp by draining their money down the ratholes of crappy movies.
BarbaraS commented:
I predict another Hollywood box office flop. Just like all the others pushing their agenda. Hollywood has become a propaganda arm of the dim party. They don’t seem to know or care what the public likes. Every time they make a offensive movie like this they lose more and more people. If it wasn’t for teen-agers they would be completely out of business.
BarbaraS commented:
Is it possible for the family to sue these movie people for putting Thatcher and her husband in a false bad light?
Fiction but fair and accurate. Did they put Dan Rather and Mary Mapes on the production board of this movie?
Conservative to the Core commented:
Outrageous! I suppose they think they can use artistic license when not making a documentary.
Conservative Ken commented:
Streep is a hollywood hypocrite cut from the same core as every socialist leader in history. She will always have too much of everything and never live the life she thinks we should live.
Thank God there’s a judgement day.
Bobbi commented:
Can’t the Thatcher family sue?0
waicool commented:
Thank you for exposing this film production so early in its formation. Please produce a documentary disc to accompany this deceptive flick.
Taxpayer commented:
#43 If the film was produced in England, maybe, because libel is easier to prove in England than in the US.
Wm T Sherman commented:
Like recent Hollywood ‘antiwar’ productions, this movie will flop at the box office, will never make back its cost of production even from video sales, and will quickly sink from public memory.
Leftists are squandering their money on clumsy propaganda that nobody will pay to see, again. Streep is an ignorant fool who has shot herself in the foot by taking this job. Hollywood understands making money and losing money, but little else about the world.
daryl commented:
Agree #46.
Too many people that don’t even know who Lady Thatcher is let alone the significance of her time as PM.
Callipygian1 commented:
Somebody once posted a link to Margaret Thatcher verbally eviscerating Liberals in the House of Commons… I compare that video to any liberal lunatic of the Pelosi/Wasserman-Schultz/Boxer/Lee Jackson crowd and I weep for America.
Big Al commented:
this is emblematic of a much deeper problem. Thru their control of almost all media and the education system in this country the left is able, to a great degree, to control and direct the consciousness of the country…thus the slow steady decline into socialism. As has been mentioned, conservatives are without fail depicted as mean, heartless and/or nuts and, after decades, this does seep into the culture and become the norm. If this current teaparty inspired rebellion fails I think we are doomed to sink inescapably into the putrid and stinking swamp of “progressiveism”. In other words this is more important than one movie!
listen up commented:
If Thatcher were able and in charge in England now the rioters would have been stopped in their tracks within hours not days.
The left mock heroes, they have nothing to give but mockery.
Nancy commented:
What else do you expect from these despicable people? Their entire lives are built on lies. Why should they change?
pamlinson commented:
Nobody’s going to watch it anyway. Who doesn’t know that the pig slop coming out of hollywood is promoted by hard left liberals.
Francesca commented:
#37: Exactly so. I only watch sports on TV and the occasion National Geographic program. The National Geographic (both magazine and program) is also getting difficult to stomach with all their liberal agenda. I am considering canceling TV and would if I could get sports on my computer.
I would rather read.
greenfairie commented:
Between the Hollywood Left that has never forgiven Thatcher for her alliance with Reagan and ending the dreams of a Soviet-dominated world, and the British film industry that’s almost 100% Labour and depends on the kind of taxpayer largesse Thatcher cut, they were never going to portray Thatcher in a positive light. In every British movie I’ve seen her mentioned, it was with the tone you’d reserve for the devil, Adolf Hitler, or Charles Manson.
I’m more and more convinced that Hollywood’s sickness is terminal and it needs to die. Conservatives have to recognize it’s not enough to put a few tea party guys in Congress. Not even close. The Left has ALL of the power. There should be a pro-American entertainment industry that can compete with Hollywood and eventually overtake it.
Patty commented:
I can only pray for her, first. Then pray the history books will tell the truth. Then pray that the liberals won’t destroy the truth in these books. Those who know should come out and defend here as she is lying in her bed suffering. Wow, disgraceful liberal who have made a mockery of our history and a Wonderful Woman. Disrespectful just doesn’t say enough.
God Bless this Great Woman she truly is a pioneer and all women admire her for her greatness.
Joanne commented:
These ignorant socialist Hollywood bimbos show their true colors and their careers take a kicking. I won’t watch this film, nor any other films she is in. Notice how these cretins hate strong conservative women.
Joanne commented:
They didn’t get it wrong; they lied.
Crackermike commented:
Progressivism was founded on hate and lies. Why, after a Century, should they change now?
laura commented:
I saw a male child actor state that the child actors and actresses are raped by pedophiles. The dirty secret of Hollywood is that it is full of pedophiles. So, you have a bunch of perverts controlling the studios wanting to tear down all things conservative that uphold the institutions of the nation.
Don’t kid yourselves. The overall spirit of Hollywood is that it wants to attack conservativism in order to destroy the family — then get at the children to rape them.
That’s what it’s about in the final summation — the ultimate goal of the trash that comes out of there.
Francesca commented:
I am not certain we should use the word ‘ignorant’ to describe these vile people. They are not stupid (in general). They are hateful.
Rose commented:
#18 Carbon Footprint – You said precisely what I was thinking, this afternoon, just before I saw your post – when someone who THAT CROWD considers to be such an eminent personality has to go to the lengths she has gone to, to slander and denigrate a fine lady like Margaret Thatcher in order to justify their rabid opposition to her, they just show themselves for what they are – and that is Pure Vermin.
It was no small thing in the days of rampant Plagues across Europe for people to burn their homes and all their possessions to kill out the plagues – turns out what they were mostly after in that effort was FLEAS and the like.
Goes a long ways to explaining the hatred that Marxists like Meryl Streep have for DDT, anyway. It’s a Spiritual thing. FLEAS and Mosquitoes are their natural Familiars!
Rose commented:
#62 – Francesca –
You are CORRECT! They are NOT Ignorant in the least! They are simply MALIGNANT.
The technical definition of the psychotic condition known as Malignant Narcissists – means they compulsively destroy anything they think others might own, own one LIKE, or even merely enjoy knowing it is there, whether they can own it, or enjoy it personally, or not. But if others CAN own it – or one like it, or rent it, or visit it, use it, or anything, that just multiplies the MN’s personal rage and they all the more MUST destroy the thing, entirely.

Many of know WHO Ms. Thatcher is,an WHAT she stands for . . .it’s OUR responsibility as parents to inform our children, and grand children about Lady thatcher! They will NEVER learn about her, or anything else in our public school system
Lawler Nicoteri commented:
If our present “leader” had a fraction of the intestinal fortitude that Lady Thatcher displayed we would not be sinking with anchors fastened to our ankles as we are currently.
As for Ms Streep: vastly overrated as an actor; would have to improve by great leaps and bounds to achieve mediocrity.
John21 commented:
Never expect a liberal to tell a story based on facts or truth. Simple respect is beyond their understanding and well beyond the liberal beliefs. MS. Thacher was an insperation at time that it was truly needed, unfortunately most of the good that she did has been reviled by the witless liberals to advance their rather sick agenda. We are badly in need of another “Iron Lady” in the country today but I am afraid that kind of political courage no longer exists.
