…that key GOP figures will exploit the death of Ronald Reagan for all it’s worth in order to seal the election. I’m looking ahead to the GOP National convention and am suggesting the following odds:
A minute of silence will be called for: 1-1.
Chances that Bush will mention Reagan one minute into his speech: 5-1.
Two minutes into his speech: 3-2.
Three minutes into his speech: 3-1.
That a key speaker will exhort his comrades to win this election “for the Gipper”: 1-1.
That it will be stated Reagan would have approved of this country’s direction: 2-1.
That if Reagan were there, he would be urging you to vote for Bush: 1-1.

Mostly what I recall hearing from Reagan during the Iran-Contra thing was “I do not recall.”
Hmm. You know, there have been those that question whether Reagan was being affected by Alzheimers even while he was in office.
Kind of makes you cringe a little at the possibility when his best quote on something like the Iran-Contra is “I do not recall.”
Bladestar,
There is really no need to call Karen ignorant. She is nothing but respectful toward you or anyone else, and she deserves the same in return.
The funny thing is, on your basic point, I agree with you. we have become way too sensitive to what people say.
Columnist Larry Elder (a black libertatrian radio host) likes to tell this story:
“In high school, my class read a poem”:
While riding through old Baltimore, so small and full of glee,
I saw a young Baltimorean keep a-lookin’ straight at me;
Now I was young and very small, and he was no whit bigger;
And so I smiled, but he poked out his tongue and called me ‘ņìggër’;
I saw the whole of Baltimore from May until September;
Of all the things that happened there, that’s all that I remember
“The teacher talked about the permanent damage done to this little boy’s psyche. The permanent stain of racism. The denial of the little boy’s dignity. the boy, said the teacher, will never be the same. By the time the bell sounded, everybody left angry.”
“I went home and repeated the poem to my mom. When i came to the last stanza;’of all the things that happened there, that’s all that I remember’, she took a spoon out of the pot she was stirring, rapped it on the side, turned to me and said, ‘Larry, it’s too bad he let THAT spoil his vacation’.
But by the same token, Bladestar, if someone is intentionally trying to provoke you, and you’re out in public and ask them politely to stop and they don’t, don’t they deserve what they get?
If I was having lunch with Karen and PAD and someone starting calling them the K-word and wouldn’t stop, or walked into a VFW pub and burned a flag, well, aren’t they asking for it then? Don’t I have a right to not to peace and quiet? Don’t my friends? Don’t the Vet? Does there EVER come a point where you feel someone would cross the line verbally?
I remember a poster said they didn’t think you were very intelligent a while back, and you seemed upset about that?
So if Karen lets it be known she doesn’t appreciate certain terms, or if I ask someone firmly not to call my girlfriend a šlûŧ, well, where do my rights and the rights of the obnoxious insulters begin and end?
I’m seriously asking.
Well, that was interesting. And should go a long way to support the idea that the internet allows people to let their true selves out. There are more than a few colorful characters in here who’d make excellent characters on MTV’s next season of Real World/Road Rules or whatever clone show they come up with next.
Maybe Dee/DD is really a democrat plant, trying to smudge the Republican image with their tirades? Who knows. It is pretty amusing to read, until you think about the emotions boiling over behind the words, and you wonder if you’re not reading a post from the next murder/suicide the news broadcasts.
I think PAD should send copies of all the foul-languaged posts to the posters’ mothers, along with some virtual soap to get them to clean up their acts.
For the record, I’ve not seen PAD take one shot, cheap or otherwise, at Ronnie during this time. Although I can see how his decision to start this post today could be seen as disrespectful to the man. But if he’d waited any longer, the abuse of RR’s memory would have already started, and posting odds would have been pointless. Democrat, Republican, when it comes down to it, they all get the job done the same way. It’s just the direction they take us that differs. In general, neither party is “better” or “cleaner” when it comes to politics. The fastest, surest way to the top is a dirty, mean, rotten path, and both party members have to walk it.
Hello Mr.David.
I have found your web for my first time and I feel that I have to say how great your work is; congratulations for your stories of Hulk (my favourite ones, of course) and Captain Marvel (reaaaally great!!).
Here in Spain, Marvel comics arrive almost 1-2 years later than in USA or Britain so you can imagine how impatient we were when you were writing for Hulk (I remember for example that War & Pieces saga appeared here in 1994/5 and now the spanish editorial group is re-editing your Hulk period).
If you read this, sincere congratulations for your stories and a big hello from one of your biggest fans from Spain.

I hate typos when I am correcting someone!

Dee, Reading Comprehension Time—Nixon was a Republican!!!! Impeach is not spelled ’empeach’!!!!
Wow, at least I learned from this post that there are some died-in-the-wool Republicans that can actually read! Wow!
Now, as to whether they can be civil when facing a viewpoint that disagrees with theirs, that is a different story.
Just so you know, you unpleasant jerks, I’m not Jewish. So get it right when you start name calling.
“But by the same token, Bladestar, if someone is intentionally trying to provoke you, and you’re out in public and ask them politely to stop and they don’t, don’t they deserve what they get?”
No Jerome, they don’t. Physical violence over words IS stupid and ignorant and unneccessary.
And if you advocate physical violence over words, then you need SERIOUS counseling…
I wasn’t calling Karen ignorant, just the whole idea that words are offensive, not her specifically.
I just thought I should add that, while I respect Peter and Glenn’s decision to let the idiocy run rampant, I for one can’t believe it’s worth it for any of us.
James Lynch,
First, I’m pretty sure liberals DO go to conservative websites to complain about how biased they are. In fact, i remember a while back a colleague who had been on Chuck Dixon’s website saying some posters were calling him a “gun nut”.
And I don’t consider Dee a conservative or a Republican. I consider Dee insane. Does Louis farrakhan represent all liberals?
In regard to Ann Coulter and “Treason”, that was me who “called you on it”.
The book is actually quite well-written and informative (and I read books from the other end of the political spectrum I can say that about as well, like Jonathan Kozol’s education/poverty masterpieces).
While a bre-knuckled literary work (much like her TV commentary), Coulter does more than support Bush. She examines the sixty year history of the Cold War and on to today, and concludes that liberals have been horribly wrong in almost all their political analyses and policy prescriptions. She cites FDR calling Joseph Stalin, one of the worst mass murderers in history, “Uncle Joe” and how he turned a blind eye to the growing threat of Communism. She points out that the villified joe McCarthy was exonerated by the recently released Venona Papers that prove he was right about Soviet agents working for the government. She feels that Truman, Kennedy, Carter and Clinton show a liberal pattern of being satisfied with containing, appeasing and retreating from our enemies, and have often sacrificed America’s best interests and security in the process. And the one Democrat president who was willing to fight a war since World War II, LBJ, was unwilling to do what it took to win.
That is the “treason” she talks about. Bush actually takes up a small portion of the book. Even if you disagree with the premise, it does make for fascinating reading.
O’Toole,
There has only been one true “unpleasant jerk” on this board, the Insane Poster with Four Names. The rest of us can act quite civil.
Don’t lump us all in with the trolls.
Also, Republican president Richard M. Nixon was not impeached. He resigned before the House could finish considering the Articles of Impeachment.
Andrew Johnson was called a Democrat at the time, although the ideals he espoused would have placed him firmly in the Republican camp today (not the NeoCon camp – while favoring states’ rights, he also stood foursquare for the rights of minorities). He was impeached, and found innocent by only one vote. (Remember that “impeachment” is the process of bringing the President to trial before Congress, whether Congress finds him innocent or guilty.)
Let Bush compare himself to Reagan all he wants. He’ll come out looking like a cheap knock-off brand anyway.
Oh, I’m having trouble trying to define the type of attack I’ve heard. Is this an ad hominem or a straw man attack: “W. is now trying to compare himself to Reagan? Let’s see, Reagan was almost killed when bullets were fired at him from a deranged psychopath in love with Jodi Foster, while Bush is a dumb-ášš who passed out choking on a pretzel.”
And then there’s this: “Bush comparing himself to Reagan? Doesn’t he know that Reagan was the Great Communicator, he Bush has had what 6 press conferences in 4 years in office and still can’t say ‘nuclear’ right?”
Bladestar,
I’m not advocating violence, but you never answered my question. Where do my rights begin and the hecklers/slur-tossers end, and vice-versa?
Spike,
1.)If you thought homelessness started with Reagan, you obviously never heard of The Great Depression.
2.) AIDS was not taken seriously by many when it was first announced. It took Surgeon General C.Everett Koop – who ironically had been loved by conservatives and villified by liberals due to his strong pro-life – becoming a determined crusader for AIDS awareness and prevention that really brought the issue a matter of importance and urgency. Laying that load at Reagan’s feet is to be ignorant of the times and circumstances. Between Koop and then Magic Johnson’s revelation, Bush Senior did better and clinton obviously better still.
3.) We did have a six-year expansion that transformed and spoiled the country to this day. So his economic policies aren’t as worthy of ridicule as you seem to think.
Jerome,
I have to take issue with your defense of Coulter. FDR may have called Stalin Uncle Joe but he was by no means unaware of Soviet aspirations, just look at his papers. Joseph McCarthy hasn
* shakes his head in wonder *
It’s been over 12 hours since I last visited and posted here and I can’t believe a lot of you (I’m assuming, bright inteligent people) are STILL responding to the “brave” anonymous poster!!!
Folks, IGNORE HIM.
Like any pest, he’ll go away!
I don’t understand why people who have obvious favorites (like a liberal going to a conservative board or vice-versa) would bother at all to post on that board!!!
Why?
What’s the point??
Do people REALLY have that much time to waste???
Geez, I wish I had some free time to patheticlly waste posting moronic, worthless messages.
“Wow, at least I learned from this post that there are some died-in-the-wool Republicans that can actually read! Wow!

Just so you know, you unpleasant jerks, I’m not Jewish. So get it right when you start name calling.”
Given that both of you are prone to wide reaching overgeneralizations of those you disagree with, you come across as just a more literate, smarter version of Dee.
Which is not something to put on one’s resume…
It gets even better. To judge from the slew of political cartoons on the subject of the Normandy invasion, apparently FDR was an arch-conservative. Because all the cartoonists clearly state that a liberal would never have gone ahead with the invasion.
What does Nixson & Cliton have in common??? Both Dems & both were ’empeached’ the only other diff is that Nixton left & Slick Willie didn’t.
Gee, I take a few days off from this site and everything goes insane. 🙂
I see Dee in particular has lost his mind.
BTW, the above statement is wrong on two counts not counting spelling errors:
1) Nixon, as others have mentioned, was not a Democrat.
2) He was never impeached. He resigned before the vote on the impeachment resolution was called. The only US presidents to be impeached were Clinton and Andrew Johnson.
Simple, don’t listen. What you are suggesting is shutting down freespeech that one individual doesn’t like. That’s censorship and fascism. You don’t have to listen, you can ignore, and when you use phrases like “they get what they deserve”, you cetrtainly sound like you are advocating violence.
O’Toole, of *course* you’re not a Jew. I mean, look at that name – it’s obvious that you’re a mick! 🙂
(Sorry, couldn’t resist…)

Evan,
okay, since you really want to get into this…
1.) FDR, in his first diplomatic act, officially recognized the Soviet Union. Besides calling him “Uncle Joe”, he allowed Stalin’s agent, Alger Hiss, to be at his side and help convince him to sell out Eastern Europe at yalta. He promised stalin three votes in the U.N. General Assembly, plus the right to name the No. 2 U.N. official. On Roosevelt’s watch, the soviets took eastern Poland, Moldavia, Lithuania, Latvia, estonia and Albania. “Uncle Joe’ murderd 12 to 20 million people, and forced at least 10 million into slave labor.
2.) Harry Dexter White, assistant secretary of the treasury under FDR, was identified as a Soviet spy in Venona.
White secured high-level government positions at the Treasury Department for at least eleven other Soviet agents – and they were all named in Venona.
White conspired with his fellow Soviet spies Frank Coe and Solomon Adler to kill a critical loan to Nationalist China, while at the same time trying to persuade Roosevelt to give the soviet union a $10 billion loan on extremely favorable terms.
Despite repeated warnings from the FBI that White was a Soviet agent,President truman retained white at treasury and then apointed him as the top U.S. official at the International Monetary Fund.
3.) Lauchlin Currie (Andrew Card today) was an administrative assistant to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and deputy administrator of the Board of Economic Welfare. Currie was identified as a spy in Venona.
4.) Duncan Lee, was chief of staff to the head of the Office of Strategic Services – the precursor to the CIA – under FDR. He honeymoned in Moscow and was identified as a Soviet spy by ex-spy Elizabeth Bentley. Lee was confirmed as a Soviet spy at Venona.
5.) Harry Hopkins – the Karl Rove of his day -was a special advisor to FDR, was described by a member of the Soviet underground,Anatoly Ahkmerov. He was described by the KGB as a Soviet agent “of major significance”.
6.) Roosevelt’s vice-president Henry Wallace (1940-44 term) believed “America’s main enemy was Churchill and the British Empire. He insisted that peace would be assured “if the United States guaranteed Stalin control of Eastern Europe. ” When Stalin seized Czechoslovakia, Wallace sided with Stalin. When Stalin blockaded Berlin, Walace opposed the U.S. airlift.
All in all, decrypted Soviet cables have identified over 300 spies that were working for the u.S. government in the forties and fifties.
That might qualify as a significant “infestation”.
“The biggest news story (so far) of the week is the death of Reagan, and will continue to be up until a few days after the funeral.”
Hmm…MSNBC’s web page’s main story is a report about Rumsfeld, Iraqi torture, and President Bush. Reagan’s the second story.
CNN’s main story: “Bush: UN Resolution on Iraq will pass unanimously”.
Even Drudge’s main story, while dealing with the funeral, focuses on the fact that Clinton has been left off the funeral speakers list. The second story is about the Stepford Wives movie. And Drudge is a Reaganite.
Of course, I think we do agree on the main point. While Kerry COULD have campaigned this week, it would have been a monumental mistake.
Interesting that Reagan, even in death, is a hugely controversial figure. Anyone read Slate’s take on Reagan?
Bladestar wrote:
“And let’s not forget Bush wasn’t elected by the people. Gore won the people’s vote, GWB won through the archaic nonsense of the electoral college (an election system where 20 people voting in one big state could effectively nullify miliions of votes in a dozen of the smallest states…)”
Nonesense… we all know the rules of the game. It’s the electorial college that matters — as it always has — so why are people still bellyaching about this now? The same thing could have happened for Gore and I would have been fine with it (although, yes, disapointed) BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE RULES and we knew that going into the election.
Also, the “people” hardly voted at all. Look at the turn out numbers. Sure, Gore won the popular vote, but not by very much — and more importantly, both Gore and Bush only recieved votes by those that bothered to vote. I would hardly call that the “people’s vote.” In the end, our president was elected by those that bothered to vote (which in some ways may be a good thing because a lot of people haven’t a clue on the issues).
Dear me! I’ve never felt compelled to post on this board before, as usually the subject matter revolves around American politics which – though I recognise as important – I simply don’t have a firm enough grasp of to contribute on.
But coming onto the site and seeing 183 posts waiting under this topic made me think it was worth a look – and it has been. If for nothing more than the varied responses to Dee (et al?) and the racist banter being posted. Its always worth having a look at how different sides see identical things. When many of you condemn Dee’s rather vicious and distressing comments, you throw back insults of comparable magnitude without worrying about it. Fighting fire with fire is very good, but only when you want to burn something down.
It’s worth noting, that if a person can have these beliefs, express them, and then continue to express their beleifs despite opposition – simply calling them stupid, ignorant, or ‘trailer-trash’ will accomplish nothing. Dee has her/his beliefs for a reason, ask the reason, discuss it, see where it comes from. Do you want to understand? Or defend? Either is perfectly fine in my view, but the advances that have been made by our societies seem to have been made through attempts at understanding, more than anything else.
It might be instinct to batter down and belittle someone who’s views are taken as socially offensive – but remember that (in both our societies) not long ago promoting homosexuality or women’s rights would be met with the same en-mass condemnation.
I believe its worth engaging in dialogue as best you can in such a situation, even if it’s a blow to give credability to a standpoint that injures you on some level. Divisive behaviour such as racism certainly injures me.
Good evening all, as its evening here in the UK
That’s censorship and fascism.
You know, these two are not mutual exclusive.
Frankly, I don’t see how fascism can even be considered here.
Hëll, the more I think about your comment, the more my head feels like it’s going to explode.
For everything intelligent you say, Bladestar, you can something completely stupid and ignorant.
Kerry and his camp announced that they were going to stop campaigning for the week “out of respect” for the mourning for Reagan before admitting that the real reason for the temporary suspenson of campaign activities was that no one would be paying attention to him this week since everyone was focussed on Reagan. Looks like the Democrats are trying to get a little mileage out of riding Reagan’s coat tails into the grave, too.
Colour Blue,
There’s little or no logic in Dee’s rantings–that’s why they are rantings. He makes up facts that make it sound like he’s a refugee from the Amazing Bizarro World. If he were making arguments we could argue them on the merits but it’s just goofy 4th grade monkeybar insults. I’ll bet my 8 year old niece could come up with better insults. Hey Tara, c’mere:
“Dee is a poopyhead.”
There, did I lie? OK, I helped with the spelling, although I’m sure that even she would know that “impeached” doesn’t begin with an “e”.
Incidentally, I have been informed that all of her beanie babies will buy a copy of MADROX, which cancells out the effects of Dee’s imaginary friends.
Jerome,
1) FDR recognizing the SU is like you and I recognizing Iran. Pretending they’re not there won’t make them go away. Hardly an indicator that FDR was secretly a communist. Was the SU over-represented at the UN? It

– Lazarus Long
Dennis, math isn’t your strong suit is it?
The popular vote, the vote of the people who woted, indicated that more people who voted voted for Gore than Bush, yet America is touted as a democracy all around the world?
Hello????? In a democracy, the vote of the people, not some insane numbers game, would elect the president.
How many fewer people are going to bother to vote know that they know for sure they’re vote doesn’t matter if they aren’t from California, Texas, New York, or on of the other 5 largest electoral vote states…???
Bladestar, when the difference in the popular vote was less than one percent, the reason for an electoral college is self-evident.
Even with your crying foul, Gore won the two largest states electoral votes, even though in California, Bush carried almost almost 50% of the popular vote.
Gore lost, plain and simple. Not by a failure in the system, but by a failure in his campaign strategy.
While I agree that the Electoral College is an outdated mode of presidential selection, I’m inclined the US is not a democracy — we’re a democratic republic.
According to the CIA (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html), our government type is a “Constitution-based federal republic,” with a” strong democratic tradition.”
What this means is that we don’t directly elect all of our officials by counting the votes of every single citizen. For some, like the President, we vote for representatives who then in-turn vote for us. That’s the “republic” part coming into play of “democratic republic.” Does the system need to be changed? Definitely. The Electoral College is a relic from a bygone era and, since it is no longer necessary, should be accordingly abolished.
So, not trying to piss anyone off here or anything like that; just thought I might point this out.
Wow,I mean the keyboards are burning around here.
Lets begin with the unamed racist person who is gonna boycott and keeps posting even though they say they are going to stop.
Please just go away.Go hang out with your hardcore,trekkie,anti semite fans and leave the rest of us alone.
Okay the real reason im posting is in response to Bladestar and the words never hurt anyone thing .Yes they do.From a little kid calling another a poopyhead ,to a man calling a woman a çûņŧ they all hurt.No, not physically but it incites people,angers ,and embarasses .Some one who is told all their life as a child how stupid,ugly ,or worthless they are grows up with a bad image of themselves and becomes an insecure, incomplete and damaged adult.
In response to one of your other questions ,yes I am bothered when one black person calls another
Nìggër.It makes it seem like the word is acceptable and its not despite what some Rap artists,and entertainers would make you believe.
They can try to pretty it up by saying ,”oh i meant ņìggá”as if it makes a difference,or its a term of love .No its not!!
Okay due me a favor call your mother, wife or girlfriend a çûņŧ or bìŧçh and then try the words dont hurt schtick.
Henry Rollins was on T.V. one time and asked a very good question…When did it become acceptable to call someone bìŧçh,ņìggër or fággøŧ.Answer it never should have been allowed to become acceptable.
We all laugh at Dee of a thousand names because of how foolish and ignorant he /she sounds when reduced to using slurs and profanity to prove a point.Not because of the slurs ,but that is all he /she has to offer where most people can post intelligently.
Not picking a fight just saying words can and do hurt and incite violence.
Sometimes, it’s not the words, Deano – it’s other connections made by them.
As a hardcore Trekkie since the first series, I confess myself somewhat insulted by your linking me and mine with Dee et al.
And no, “harcore Trekkie” is not an insult, anymore more than “big-time ‘Law & Order’ fan” is (unless, of course, you express your fandom by writing Briscoe/McCoy slashfics or something…).
That’s supposed to be “hardcore”, or course, not “harcore”.
Poopyhead.
HITLER! HITLER HITLER!
There. NOW Glenn will shut down this silly thread. 🙂
In all seriousness, we’re going to argue about Bush’s election until the cows come home. I don’t really care whether or not Gore should have won; he DIDN’T, and that’s the important part. Speaking as a guy who voted for Gore (and doesn’t like W one little bit), if the guy had just won his own home state, Tennessee, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Hëll, if he had won Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Wyoming, the states with the smallest number of electoral votes possible that went for Bush (3 votes each), he would have swung the vote his way. But he didn’t.
Everyone raves about Florida, and I’m not convinced justice was done there. But, y’know, there was a lot more that he could have done to win his own campaign. I’ll be surprised if Kerry doesn’t win Massachusetts and a sizable number of Northeast states (although New Hampshire went for Bush in 2000).
Jonathan(the other one)
POOPYHEAD !You call me a poopyhead !Im devastated ,crushed forever:)
The hardcore Trekkie was meant more as a comment on nitwit and his hundreds of like minded friends.Not that trekkies are idiots just the ones that could be influenced by Dee.
Personally im insulted someone said that person was in the military.I dont want that type of person being associated with me.If it makes you feel better im a hardcore QUANTUM LEAP,24,and ANGEL fan so attack as you wish:)
I’m going to boycott the boycott and buy three extra copies of Peter’s books! Who’s with me!?
😉
Why has “dee” not been reported to it’s provider? I’m assuming Glenn has access to the ISP. No where on the net should this type of abuse be tolerated.
Good grief.
A man died.
Josh, I know that, but one of the lies the government loves to trumpet to other countries about how “great” Amerika is is because “The US is a Democracy!”…
Not that you care, Dee, but since PAD was giving odds on whether those things would happen at the GOP National Convention, which hasn’t happened yet, he is neither wrong nor right, sort of like the time in Frost’s “Acquainted With the Night.”
No bet, dear PAD.
*grrs at GOP*
Ray Cornwall: “HITLER! HITLER HITLER! There. NOW Glenn will shut down this silly thread. 🙂 “
Actually I think it has to be a nazi analogy.
Howzabout…Dee’s nazi-like attempt to dictate that nobody should be able to purchase particular pieces of literature (to wit, those written by the venerable PAD) filled the group with contempt.
go ahead. declare it 🙂
People are always getting the wrong idea about PAD. Partly it’s because they’re idiots, but reading his original post I can see how some erroneous ideas could be inferred. For instance, PAD leaves unstated his opinion about politicians who would exploit Reagan’s death. It is *implied* that he would find such a thing disgusting, but implications can be easily overlooked by the casual idiot.
Scott,
I think PAD is sitting in his office smoking a cigar just laughing at all of us for keeping this thread going 🙂
“We’re taught in school that America is a democracy but we repeatly have the lie of it all displayed….”
I hope you’re not taught that in school. The U.S. is a democratic republic. Democracy is two wolves and sheep voting on the dinner menu. As a minority, I’m very pleased we don’t live in a democracy where the majority can oppress the minority and that’s still technically democratic.
