Actually, it started with a hit-and-run poster who claimed "Reagan did not protect industries" who was quickly corrected with regard to Reagan tariffs. In response to a comment about how many lies are told about Reagan, our very own rude boy proclaimed:

You notice how protectionists won't acknowledge that NAFTA was Reagan's idea, or that he kick-started the talks that led to the creation of the WTO?

I think George Washington and the founding fathers kick started it... there is a direct link from NAFTA to President Clinton to GW. They were both presidents, ya know? Actually, maybe we should just go back to Christopher Columbus when he discovered "America." That's the ticket!

Or maybe French foreign minister Robert Schuman who proposed the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community.

Well, that's what set Mojave off, certainly. And he thinks neither are true becuase Reagan set tariffs on motorcycles and import quotas on Japanese autos. I wish I could aspire to such a low rhetorical standard.

It's like someone trying to argue Hank Aaron didn't hit all those home runs because he struck out.
