Feeling sad and having just heard the news that President Ronald Reagan had just passed this past Saturday June 5, 2004 at 5:00 PM I switched my car radio from my local news radio to my local NPR, PRI affiliate to get my fill of the left by listening to A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.
I can normally make it through the live shows but this last show I had to turn off. The show began with ridicule and cheers from the audience when the Host (Mr. Garrison Keillor) announced that the former President had past away within the last hour. Yes folks, there were cheers in the audience. I waited for the host to ask the audience to refrain from cheers and to show respect, but this never happened. I was so shocked, then I began to understand it is hate, how the left hates us.
I am posting a link so you can hear this yourself.

Segment 1 at 3:17 into show.

First time I saw him he looked like a very angry man.
What the he** were you doing listening to NPR? Other than Car Talk that network is a waste of radio bandwidth.
Unfortunately I was in the car Sunday and caught Harry Shearer's first 5 minutes and that was disgusting.
I loathe misleading threads, But thanks for the link, and allowing me to hear a self-professed liberal give a very fine tribute to our dear President Reagan.
LOL!
I've agreed with you before!
;-)
Had it been Clinton who bought it, we would kill the fatted calf, tap a keg and put the Dixieland music on the victrola.
Well that wasn't the case in SF, where signs should read in the future..."All you have to know about this scum is that they cheered when a U.S. President died."
Had it been Clinton we would have a tad more decorum in public.
I was listening to the Michael Medved (?) show yesterday where some stupid California woman said she wanted to go view the body to make sure the old man was really dead.
The Democratic Party (Liberals) and the DNC are made up of hateful, viscious, malescious looney people.
Speak for yourself. I know there are alot of real haters here on FR, but I am not one of them. In fact, I'll bet MOST freepers are not "haters". At most, I would be indifferent. "Hate" for me, is reserved for guys like Saddam, Bin Laden, Castro, et al. Or who knows, maybe I am in the minority here...
For the record, the same show ended with him singing "America the Beautiful", and an audience 'message' saying hello to a son in the military was greeted with wild cheering and applause.
I missed the beginning of the show, so I didn't hear the announcement, but for the general tone of what I heard I couldn't believe I was listening to PHC.
PS: The missus always insists we listen if we're in the car at that hour.
Let's be fair here. I thought Keillor (who is a hypocritical left-wing bum IMHO) was very gracious, and it's not even clear to me that the two cheers were intended to "dis" Reagan. The cheers could be interpreted as a cheer for Reagan, although I admit that's debatable.
Well, our 'one person' cheering section just got zotted it seems. He evidently started a thread making a (not-so) subtle attempt at implying why Christians shouldn't vote for President Bush.
Even in light of recordings, these people still will lie right to your face. I guess they are so far above us in intelligence that we should fall for anything they say. Why doesn't that work?
GK is merely a typical liberal elitist, filled with hate and bile, being consumed from the inside out by his bitterness that his leftist demigods are not controlling America's decline.
Somehow I doubt this report. I used to live downtown St.Paul and the crowd that would stand in front of the Fitzgerald weren't your rabid libs.
Could have been people cheering the man and not his death or maybe Keillor had the applause sign go on at that point, he loves to play Minnesotans for fools.
My husband was listening. He said Keillor said very nice things about the President, called him a "great man" who "befuddled liberals" and there were only a couple "bozos" who let out a whoop at the announcement of his death.
Another John Henry Faulk.
I have to agree with this one. I think GK's response to the two to three jeers was appropriate--for whatever other faults he has, he ignored the ignorant!
