I was a teenager when the Iran Contra controversy came out. Honestly, I looked up to and admired the President. When the Iran Contra scandal broke it forced me to take a harder look at President Reagan. I question everything about him, from his politics on race, his tenure as the president of the actors guild, his involvement with the RFK assassination, everything.

whoever said I was compassionate?Originally posted by rah
I am always amused that more people on the compasionate liberal side find it so easy to wish those that they don't like dead, then those heartless bastards on the more conservative side do for those that they don't agree with. Just which ones are more compasionate.
it's not that I just "disagreed with his politics"... it's that his "politics" resulted in the death and poverty... all while dopes on the right glorify him like he's jesus
and the hatred isn't BLIND... it's based upon insurmountable evidence, facts, and statistics...
there are people on the right who I do disagree with and don't wish them death... John McCain for instance... but an evil piece of **** like reagan deserves the hatred towards him.
And its pathetic you accuse us of having "blind hatred". Were you conscious during the Clinton years? Were you awake when the right wasted $70 million of taxpayer dollars on Whitewater? a rinky-dink land deal where no wrong-doing was found? or how about Monica Lewinsky? over $100 million wasted investigating that bull****. So don't give me your "oh you guys are pathetic... blind hatred.. blah blah blah" BS.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

I do not believe that the President of the United States could have no knowledge of or did not sign off on what happened in the scandal.
If he was unaware then, the Vice President had to be aware and gave permission. Someone above Oliver North's head should have rolled.What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/

I haven't even heard the one about his alledged involvement with RFK's assassination. Could you share this fish story with us?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

I cannot fathom how Reagan was anywhere near, in any shape or form, how he was a "great" leader.
I think being one of the two greatest US leaders of the 20th Century (along with FDR) qualifies

Funny... I didn't realize that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and everyone who used to be on the Newsmax forums were extreme left.Originally posted by JohnT
The Extreme Left is an ideology of hate, for haters. How many times do I have to repeat this?
And I don't wish for him to die, I just wish more people would realize what a bastard he was. I would think you would hope he dies soon, as Altzheimers is a terrible thing to go through.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

I don't want to be terminated
There are no rumors going around that I know of about the Reagan's involvement with RFK assasination. What i'm saying is that
a. IMO the investigation was not thorough.
b. Reagan was Governor at the time
c. Reagan is shady
d. investigation shady
So when you have a thief at the scene of a robbery he automatically becomes a suspect.What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/

Question: Who is (or was, apparently) RFK? I know JFK, but...
Hold on, Robert Kennedy? Was his second name Fizgerald too? How unimaginative...
Happy birthday to Ronnie Raygun, I bet his SDI project gave us some neat gadgets. And got the soviets out from under their opression. (Instead of being opressed, and having something to eat.)I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"Comment

Since you said it, the opposite MUST be true.

No, it's just that when I look at what Reagan did as president, and what he did not do, he has a terrible record as a political leader.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

And since you, and many other Apolytoners already know my reasons, I'm going to try to refrain from posting in here any further.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
