In Reply to: Why should we care what the heck a leftist European thinks about the death of an American president? posted by Don T on June 05, 2004 at 16:25:09:
There is a huge number of people here in Britain who have the greatest respect for, and wgo were extremely fond of, Ronald Reagan.Javajive's posts on this subject, and those of a number of his contemporaries, do indeed reveal the characters of those posters, as another poster here has already stated.
Javajive and those others who have not been able to prevent themselves from making extremely nasty and inopportune comment upon Reagan's death are, so to say, pieces of shit; their comments, whilst not unexpected, are typical of the simple nastiness that makes them what they are.
There is an element of gloating, and a deliberate ignorance of just what Reagan did for the United States.
Were those who are at all to the right of Lenin, (those same people that Javajive, and a number of others, would classify as neocons, fascists and etcetera), to have made similar gloating remarks concerning the demise of some liberal or left personage, the javajives of this board would be incandescent, screaming about the insensitivity of the Right.
Reagan was loved by a large number of people. That will not change, despite the howling of the unpleasant left.
