Novak column: Attack on Ronald Prescott Reagan
Here is Bob Nofacts column attacking Ron Reagan, who will be speaking at the Democratic convention in support of Stem Cell research. Actually it is more of an attack by Bill Buckley but you can just tell Nofacts is enjoying it.

2. There is no point-by-point rebuttal
Just some smart ass comments interjected into Ronnie's interview to try to make Buckley look big when in essence it is a bunch of snide comments without an ounce of factoid to them. Republicans call this fact-refuting? Boy they are dumber than they look, and that says alot.

4. It just comes off sounding bitchy
nothing of any substance there...

"RR Jr.: As to whether his mother helps him out financially, "Of course not. My father felt that children should make their own way."

WFB: "I know, and you know that I know, something about that question. But to say that 'of course' your mother does not help you out suggests she will not do so even if there were a need. Are you saying she would not acknowledge you in her will?"

how lame is that? Did anyone see the "suggestion" other than this limp dick fugly little man?

the more they go after anyone who disagrees with them, the more people they turn off. These methods no longer work for anyone but the choir. They just keep shooting themselves in the foot. I love it.

6. Novak is the most insidious of traitors.
Why the hell is he still on the streets? He's the one who actually outed Valerie Plame. He's a felon and he should be in jail along with Bush & Cheney & Rove & Scooter.

10. Trash Bush by "drawing invidious comparisons" to Reagan - LOL
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 12:52 PM by papau
To speak truth as to the "faith" - or lack thereof - or display and use thereof -of Nancy and Ron Senior is to not be "mindful" per Bill Buckley and to not demonstrate the "value of kindness."

Of course no one says Ron Jr is wrong to say "I couldn't join a party that, frankly, tolerates members who are bigots for one thing, homophobes, racists." - they just would prefer he not expose the GOP!

LOL :-)

I do like Buckley spin in his new book "Miles Gone By: A Literary Autobiography," where he spins the Reagan game of pretend concern for others but refusal to help others via government programs or aid because the Village folks would take care of the needy - as showing a picture of a Ronald Reagan who "was zestfully concerned for the comfort of others."

What a joke!

LOL

:-)

11. What would we all say if Novak announced he had Alzheimer's?
I really wouldn't wish that upon anyone! But if God were handing out "YOU get Alzheimer's cards"...I'd say...couldn't happen to a more deserving person! On second thought...I'd have a tough time deciding who deserves the card the most....there are so many of them! How about a card for the GOP!? That would solve all our problems...maybe!
