Group Wishes Reagan Happy Birthday With Ad Attacking Obama

Group Wishes Reagan Happy Birthday With Ad Attacking Obama

The anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity has a made a TV ad to wish Ronald Reagan a happy 101st birthday. Called "Two Visions," the minute-long spot is framed to create a negative impression of President Obama. The ad contrasts Reagan saying uplifting things about America's freedom and free enterprise beside clips of President Obama using rhetoric made to sound like it touches on class warfare.

That's Reaganomics.

We won't give you idiots the wages you need to keep up with inflation, productivity and the cost of living in general. But we will give you these shiny, attractive tax cuts! Oh, and you either be in love with this or you're a Leninist COMMIE!!! Whuddya say??

Even when faced with actual facts, they deny reality; just like any True Believer, facts are immaterial to their belief system.

...i.e., with a chorus of angels? "Ronald Reagan ahhhhhAAHHHHHH!"

This is what they've turned their hero into: a talisman they wave around to cover anything they say.
