The people at Foxnews have an unhealthy Reagan fetish.

[hrmjustin]

You would think that they were talking about a deity the way they speak about him. Reagan was not a savior or hero. He was a mean old SOB that sold America down the river so that businessmen could make a buck. Someone should tell Foxnews to get new hero's.

1. Until you start actually presenting them with some actual Reagan quotes. Then they squirm like the

lowly worms that they are.

[hrmjustin]

2. they like to forget he raised taxes.

[Purveyor]

12. His opposition to assault weapons in the public's hands also threw them for a loop. eom

[leftyohiolib]

3. that's what i was gonna say - the vision of reagan they worship never existed

[oh08dem]

4. Obama was wrong when he said people cling to guns and religion....

They cling to guns, religion, and Reagan.

WWRD? Probably go to bed early, allow his henchmen to do the dirty work, wake up and act like senile old man. Probably the best role he ever played.

5. Ann Coulter says that Ronald Reagan was Jesus Christ of the Republican Party

You do know that they admire mean old SOBs that sell America down the river?

[oh08dem]

8. Orwellian speak at its finest...

Well I guess Ann Coulter views herself as Mary Magdalene.... (of course without any redeeming qualities).

10. Ann was boinking Reagan?

I kid, I kid.

6. Don't wish to dismay you, but finalization of the gipper's deification

nears.

[hrmjustin]

7. lol

[fascisthunter]

9. all the republican party has is manufactured political myth

these people are fucking delusional nut bags. Frauds who have convinced themselves that lies can be truth.

[Blue4Texas]

11. May as well be King George, both gone from the scene for awhile

[Silent3]

13. He's the only former Republican president that Republicans aren't embarrassed to bring up...

...from the past 50 years. Reagan had enough general popularity (at times) so that some material is there, combined with a generous application of selective memory and re-written history, to form a serviceable mythic character.
