It's all so predictable
You can set your watch to it.

We say bad things about Reagan.

The right wing gets outraged.

We get outraged back at them.

I could practically have written it all myself.

1. No, we have circular firing squads and get outraged
at each other. That's the difference between us
and them.

11. Not about their political enemies
they don't. They are unified in their
hatred of us, and their wish to do us harm.

2. not me
I'm just tunin' out.

Haven't watched TV since he died. No radio, either, except for AirAmerica.

I skip the threads about it here, too. It'll all be over in a week.

3. It has been wall-to-wall adoration on the media. I know absolutely
everything about the Reagen family. And most of it I didn't want to know. It is taking time away from what is happening in Iraq and the military who are dying. They will not get state funerals.

7. Yeah, did they sneak RR's body around in the middle of the night
like they do our returning soldiers?

HELL NO.

4. This does give them miles of ammunition
but let's not kid ourselves, even the slightest nuance in the portrayel of Reagan ("He was a great man, but not perfect.") would be seen as us ripping into him. He's a saint to the right.

10. actually everytime something big happens everyone gets hair afire
so yes it is predictable. instead of folks responding within threads about the topic, everyone feels they have to post a thread about their take on the topic, and it spins out of control.

makes it easy to sit back and say 'heh, who cares?'
