Steinberg is part of the liberal crowd that cannot stand to see the admiration and respect that the majority of the citizens have for Ronald Reagan.
Steinberg is disgusting in his bashing of Ronald Reagan.
Libs are starting to crack.
Envy makes people do incredible things. Steinberg knows that HE will never be mourned by millions. What a small, small man, to write such a thing at such a time.
" where every death is Princess Diana's."
Idiot can't reconcile his hatred of Reagan to compare that sappy overblown coverage of a clothes horse to the respect and dignity due one of our greatest presidents.
Neil Steinberg sucks!
Ronald Reagan proved that there are some decent liberals worth trying to salvage -- and he salvaged some of them and turned them into conservatives. But, sadly, there are some like this jerk who will never get it. He'd have to have a decent heart in the first place.
Be honest, Neil. You hate Reagan for what he did. Reagan took away your Shadowy-City-in-the-Fog, the dream of a greater Socialist Utopia. By shattering the Evil Empire, Reagan broke the hearts of liberals and leftists everywhere. That's what's got you down, Neil. Admit it. Be a man, not some slime lying on the sidewalk.
Even in death you drive the amoral, socialist, liberal slime toward the cliffs of doom.
Back to Neil. As "Ed Gold" writing in the free weekly The Chicago Reader, in his final column of the "Bob Watch," he wrote the same thing about Greene. Robert (six letters) the middle name (I think it was Edward---again, six letters,), Greene. Six letters.
One of Steinberg's criticisms of Bob Greene was that he was recycling his old columns.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Time to call your psychiatrist, Neil. I think you need a med adjustment.
Hmmm, wonder if he and Ted Rall are related?
Keep on going, mainstream media. Keep on trying to brainwash us. We aren't falling for it, and all it does is help more and more people get your number.
This man has no concept of Greatness because Liberals will never achieve the same stature.
Nope. What's happening here is that the media bashed Reagan personally, derided his motives, bashed his policies, predicted gloomy results from them, and, as history has unfolded, there has been a slow but sure mental trek on the part of the American people toward an understanding of Ronald Reagan which doesn't fit the media's portrayal.
What the people of this country are experiencing is much more the emotion one would feel for a falsely imprisoned man, quite possibly for some the feelings are more like the son or daughter whose father died before they could tell him how much they loved him. As individuals, the great majority of us couldn't tell him how much we appreciated him, and we got no help from our media, for whom this task would have been much easier.
People who hate Ronnie Reagan are in for a bad week . Also the flags will be at half staff for 30 days, that is sure to put a hurt on them.
Neil Steinberg
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid.
Heinrich Heine
He has obviously not thought the death of President Ronald Reagan through.
Won't be a lot of sniffles when YOU go toes up, Neil.
The mainstream media always believed Reagan to be an "amiable dunce"; the Far Left believed he was Satan himself, manifested as a cold, callous, mass-murderer of HIV-positive victims, the homeless, and the starving elderly. Abroad, he was ridiculed as "Rambo" Reagan, a John-Wayne wannabe cowboy who was nothing but a washed-up, 2nd-rate "Bedtime for Bonzo" actor. You could look it up.
This is what they still believe, in their heart of hearts. But today, the cynical, calculating pragmatic politicians who still believe they are viable candidates who will be in charge again someday will not say that.
And that is a tremendous, and unopposed, opportunity for President Bush to reassert himself tomorrow, and every day thereafter, as the logical, and legitimate successor to the Reagan Revolution. Standing up for fledgling democracies, staying the course in the face of foreign ridicule, and most imporatantly, years down the road being ultimately validated by the vanquished Left without opposition.
The Democrats made a decision after licking their wounds from the 2002 elections that the post-9/11 gloves were coming off, and they were going to go after President Bush in 2004. Dean jumped to the front, did his "I Have a Scream" speech, and was replaced by Kerry. Kerry tried to modulate to the middle, and has now outsmarted himself by staking out essentially the same future position on Iraq (get the UN involved) that Bush has already beaten him to the punch.
Bush's "Stay the Course against Evil" Reagan Tribute Speech happens tomorrow. Everybody will gather around him in bipartisan, mournful unity - much as they did around President Clinton when the Nation mourned OKC. The Iraq sovereignty transfer occurs 30 June, with the 15-0 UN Security Council endorsement. Of course, the bad guys over there still keep doing bad guy things to the fledgling democracy - and Bush is right there, staying the course. Kerry is left out in the cold, harping for the 75th consecutive day about prison scandals, and how we should be more humane to Al Qaeda terrorists in captivity.
Game. Set. Match.
These same people had no problem at all with weeks of over-coverge and adoration of JFK Jr., who died at 40 with no other accomplishment than being the handsome son of a Prez who served only 1,000 days. And the amazing year of non-stop tributes to Diana, lovely and young at death but certainly not a world leader beyond her token charities. I was ready to scream at the sainthood they attributed to both of these people, but liberals seemed to enjoy every moment. Now with true greatness and leadership and longevity being honored, they want it all over in a day or two, max.
Eff Neil Steinberg.
