[Gato Moteado]

1. more like a hapless puppet......

....the people that pulled his strings were the monsters.

[mitchum]

4. Okay...Frankenstein's monster then

He was also a lowlife piece of shit who became food for worms

[Itchinjim]

12. That bastard was a willing participant in the crimes of his administration.

He was no puppet, he was a certified, true-blue right wing son of a bitch. Fuck Reagan.

[EFerrari]

30. Well, his name is on all the American sponsored torture and murder that happened

in Southeast Asia, North Africa and Central America while he called the shots.

[Zhade]

40. Nope. He knew what he was doing during Iran-Contra.

NT!

[rcrush]

2. Now he's a zombie!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[mitchum]

5. That's the only way he will ever get a brain

[lumberjack_jeff]

19. Luckily he's the slow-moving and forgetful kind. n/t

[MrCoffee]

3. This is the single truest post I've ever seen on DU

[laststeamtrain]

6. Thank you. Occasionally the truth just shines through me. n/t

[indepat]

16. And I'm proud to have boosted it to the greatest page:

a very old book on the Gipper is buried somewhere in my library entitled, if I recall correctly, "One Swell Fella," which exposes the Gipper as he really was even early on. :P

[TheCoxwain]

7. Ronald Reagan is Dead .. So pls stop calling him names .. rather

you should try and kill Reaganomics - which by the way is seriosly injured -but is still alive ..

KILL IT

[laststeamtrain]

9. In the words of Bartleby: "I'd prefer not to". n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. As long as Republicans are still trying to name everything "Reagan", the truth about the man should

be shouted from the rooftops. He was a monster.

[Initech]

25. Yup... kill it until it dies a horrible death.

[we can do it]

31. Being Descriptive Isn't Name Calling. He Was a Fucking Evil Monster

[Bluebear]

33. Research Reagan's "leadership" on HIV/AIDS and get back to me on "not calling him names"

[Zhade]

41. So, do you tell people not to bad-mouth Hitler?

This idea that the truth about bad people shouldn't be spoken after they die is ludicrous.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. and he still is

[mix]

11. anyone

who would begin his campaign for the presidency by going to Neshoba County Mississippi, where civil rights activists had been killed, and bray about "states rights" and then go on to cheerfully fund death squads and massacres in central america, is indeed a monster

having come of age politically during the raygun years, it did not seem possible that american politics could sink any lower, until 43

[noiretextatique]

14. i wish i could recommend your post

:applause: i graduated from college the year that monster was elected.

[nichomachus]

18. You forgot

visiting the Nazi cemetery in Germany

48. Normandy

[BuelahWitch]

21. Don't forget all the people who died of AIDS because of Reagan

He's got their blood on his hands too.

[Zhade]

42. Infuckingdeed.

NT!

[Occam Bandage]

13. Certainly. Any reason you're bringing this up? nt

[laststeamtrain]

15. To irritate you. Obviously.

If the shoe fits...

[Occam Bandage]

47. Not irritated at all, just wondering what prompted it. nt

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

17. It's always good to remember around whom the enemy rallies.

Weaken the idol, weaken their stance.

[LeftishBrit]

20. Yes, and so was his best friend Maggie Thatcher

[laststeamtrain]

24. I'm with you on that.

Pinochet was arrested coming from cocktails with Maggie,

Get 'em while they're drunk.

Pigs.

[Nye Bevan]

50. She started out by stealing my school milk

hence her nickname Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. And it was all downhill from there.

[lib2DaBone]

23. His body was paraded weeks on end.....so the public could worship the casket...

..worse than Stalin or Hitler or Chairman Mao..

[mikelgb]

26. calling swamprat for photographic evidence......

[Maru Kitteh]

27. This post is beautiful in it's elegant simplicity, and so true.. Well done.

K&R

[timtom]

28. I just have to jump in with a great big

To say the least!

The Platonic ideal of asshole.

[rurallib]

29. you say was like he's dead. Yet every repug wants to run with him

He isn't dead is he really. Not in the perverted minds of repugs. Not in the minds that believe he cut taxes when he really raised them. Not in minds that believe he was a true warrior when he got our marines out of the middle east as quick as he could. Not in the minds ....

[fascisthunter]

32. fascist

[Blue_In_AK]

34. No argument from me.

I knew that even way back when I lived in California and he was governor. Certainly not deserving of the sainthood that has been bestowed upon him by the pubs.

[sarcasmo]

35. Who started this freaking mess.

[H2O Man]

36. He was. n/t

[TheWatcher]

37. Reagan was a compartmentalized, neutered, figurehead puppet who ran nothing.

His Vice President and Cabinet, However....

[Zhade]

43. Wrong. He was lucid. He knew the crimes he was authorizing.

NT!

[TheWatcher]

51. You mistakenly assume that I absolve him from accountability, dear Zhade.

:hi:

I don't.

But I don't back away from the statement that he was a figurehead and a puppet.

Americans have for too long been under the mistaken belief that they only experienced one term of GHWB.

They got three.

[bird gerhl]

38. So is every American citizen. n/t

[Zhade]

39. He sure was -- and then b*s* surpassed him.

NT!

[Deja Q]

44. The man is dead. I didn't care for him either and there's a website devoted to his legacy...

But I'm not going to post it here.

Mind you, Saddam Hussein was a dickless massive prick... Betcha nobody is going to tell me he's dead and to leave the past in the past, et cetera, so here's the link anyway:

http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/about/Reagan.html

Best taken with a grain of salt.

Mind you, read point #21.

[treestar]

45. Yes he was

He was the antichrist. Ronald Wilson Reagan.

[santamargarita]

46. Reagan is dead, (some of ) his policies live on...

...but we're doing something about that!

Pig-Man Parody

Get it?

[Laelth]

49. You'll get no argument from me. n/t

:dem:

-Laelth

[earth mom]

52. Yep, that's the truth. Wish I could rec this thread!

:kick:

[elizfeelinggreat]

53. Abso-cheney-lutely

[Raine]

54. Damned right

he's was architect of this whole mess we're in. :mad:

[lib2DaBone]

55. Let's dig up his body and put it on display for 6 more years....

..we can cart it around to all the Federal Buildings and CNN and Fox will have to genuflect as they take pictures.

Reagan's rotting stinking corpse will prove a boost for the Republican party who hate America and are looking for a quick buck.... we can even get some quotes from Boehner and Mitch McConnel.

As a matter of fact.. I want the t-shirt rights for all the Federal Buildings... my theme will be.. "Rotten Ronnie... a smell you can't forget".

[AndrewP]

56. Too bad he died in 2004, and not in 1974.
