In an interview with the Daily Beast, living legend and Oscar-winner Robert Duvall blasted the Civil Rights film “The Butler” as “very inaccurate.” The 83 year-old star added, “JFK had one of the worst Civil Rights voting records,” and “All the atrocities in the South were committed by the Democratic Party.”
Duvall, a well-known Republican, also spoke about his growing dissatisfaction with the Republican Party, which he called “a mess.” Duvall describes himself as pro-choice when it comes to abortion and says he’s ready to vote Independent in 2016.

Ronald Regan’s son calls ‘The Butler’ movie “A bunch of lies”
August 28, 2013Michael Reagan, son of 40th President Ronald Reagan, is calling Lee Daniels’ The Butler a “bunch of lies.”
The film, which purports to reflect the true story of a black butler who worked in eight presidential administrations, has already been shredded by Reagan historians for incorrectly painting the conservative icon as racially insensitive.
The inspiration for the film, Eugene Allen, appeared to have no malice toward the Reagans given his statements and choice of wall decor. The real Allen proudly displayed a photograph of the Reagans in his living room.
Now, it’s the president’s son’s turn to shred the film’s narrative.
Reagan lashes out at The Butler for distorting so much of Allen’s life for cheap dramatic effect but saves plenty of energy for attacking its dishonest portrayal of his father.
If you knew my father, you’d know he was the last person on Earth you would call a racist.
If Strong had gotten his “facts” from the Reagan biographies, he’d have learned that when my father was playing football at Eureka College one of his best friends was a black teammate.
Strong also would have learned that my father invited black players home for dinner and once, when two players were not allowed to stay in the local hotel, he invited them to stay overnight at his house.
Screenwriter Strong also might have found out that when my father was governor of California he appointed more blacks to positions of power than any of his predecessors — combined.

Scene you won’t see in ‘The Butler’
August 13, 2013Lee Daniels’ The Butler captures the fact-based story of Eugene West, a black butler who served eight presidential administrations with honor.
The film, penned by Game Change scribe Danny Strong, depicts several Democratic presidents as heroes in the fight for civil rights, particularly President John F. Kennedy.
Yet Strong conveniently left out a key detail of Kennedy’s race relations past that would put a dent in the deification on display. The following is from The Washington Post interview feature with West which inspired the film:
The issue of race bedeviled this White House, even amid good intentions. In February 1963, Kennedy invited 800 blacks to the White House to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Louis Martin, a Democratic operative who helped plan the function, had placed the names of entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. and his wife, May Britt, on the guest list. The White House scratched it off and Martin would put it back on. According to Martin, Kennedy was aghast when he saw the black and white couple stroll into the White House. His face reddened and he instructed photographers that no pictures of the interracial couple would be taken.
