Yeah. I heard 3 black men call into C-Span's line and say that since President Reagan didn't do anything for black people, he wasn't that good of a president. It'll only get worse.
The one thing that President Reagan's death has done is shown how deep the hatred of the liberals is.
Shall we share stories, or wait until later?
A silver lining with his passing; those critics lose again, and their loss will be greater the more they speak.
They just don't get it, do they?
Well on the bright side Khadafy obviously has felt some pain delivered via Reagan. There is some justice in this world.
I'm waiting to hear from Old Europe on Reagan. As apoplectic as he made the American left, he drove the European socialists to actually riot in the streets. His whole time in office he drove them even crazier than they already were. I'm sure they will welcome this opportunity to heap dirt on him, now that he can no longer talk back. Come to think of it, it's finally an even match.
Since the October Suprise myth was mentioned, I have a question about it that I've never been able to get an answer too; Why would Khomeni prefer Ronald Reagan as president to Jimmy Carter, who he could push around at will?
Seems obvious that the reason that the hostages were released the day President Reagan took office was so that neither administration could take credit for their release. But don't let me get in the way of a liberal fantasy.
Consider the sources. And consider that Ronald Reagan will be remembered long after all of them, except possibly our friend the Colonel, have been forgotten...and certainly remembered far more kindly than the Colonel.
Die, you evil liberal DemoRat demons, die !!!!
They hate him. The echoes from what I prefer to think of as a dying breed. I wouldn't waste precious bandwidth responding to the likes of those who couldn't pay proper respects to the late Paul Wellstone. And we don't need their screech-filled venom against President Reagan. No thanks.
"For that reason, it is necessary now to speak ill of the dead.
"As president, Ronald Reagan was a mediocrity. He has left no legacy. He did not change the world in any significantly good way. His greatest achievement was to win a war with Grenada. He ran for president blaming Jimmy Carter for high gas prices and for letting Americans be taken hostage in Iran – both situations that no American president could have prevented.”
This would have been a most hideous example of vitriol if it were said while he was alive. Since he passed to a better place only Saturday, it shows a hatred and sheer ignorance that can only be described as stunning.
How galling it must be for this worthless piece of human debris, that probably 90% of Americans disagree with him. Hope he likes it hot.
...blaming Jimmy Carter for high gas prices ... that no American president could have prevented
Says a lilliputian whose ideological brethren are blaming President Bush for the current price of gas.
These small people and their venomous
words mean nothing to me, and they're
so insignificant, that they cannot even
begin to tarnish President Reagan.
I have nothing but a contemptuous pity
for these people.
Their hatred will kill them... slowly but surely.

Oh and nice touch from the guy at the the Memphis Flyer -- It's all Bush's fault
These people are pathetic and disgusting
The man just died ... have they no shame?
This ignorant grease spot of a man in Memphis is a also a liar. Reagan's legacy is a free Europe. Millions enjoy freedom because of him. The US also has had 25 years of economic expansion, which is another of his legacies. The last legacy is a reinvigorated GOP.
This guy is actually crying that we're biased against communists!
"In the coming months, the Republican propaganda machine will shift into high gear. Their goal: to turn Ronald Reagan into a saint. Just watch. First will come the coffin in the Capitol rotunda. Then there will be a proposal to put Reagan’s face on the dollar coin. Next will come a demand that his statue appear on the Washington Mall. And at the Republican Convention in September – oh, just wait. The highlight of that week will be a long, elegiac video of Saint Ronald, with moving music, snippets of favorite speeches, and the voiceover of, say, Charlton Heston. When the video ends, there will be heard the rapturous cheers of the faithful."
He's just jealous that Republicans actually had someone worthy of such high regard.
Who do *they* have?
Here a Gem from Proud gay State Rep. Jim Moeller.
State Rep. Jim Moeller, D-Vancouver, gave Reagan credit for his allegiance to the conservative creed of smaller government.
"He was a better Republican president than the one we have now. He was true to the conservative creed of smaller government," Moeller said on his way home from the convention. "Ronald Reagan was exactly what you saw."
Moeller was less impressed with Reagan's legacy.
"We're still seeing the effects of his refusal to deal with the AIDS epidemic," he said.
His economic policy has also led to repercussions, Moeller said.
"Reagan started the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich and the wealthy that has continued today," Moeller said. "A concentration of wealth and capital that is unprecedented since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution."
Way to go Moeller, Had to get that last jab at a man who is no longer here to defend himself.
Another hateful dumbocRAT response to Reagan's death ping.
I guess the collapse of the Soviet Union cannot be called a great achievement for President Reagan.
