That's hilarious. You piss down my throat, suggesting my ignorance, for pointing out an observation as to why I believe there is so much hooplah regarding Reagan's death, and then proceed to provide a "well-reasoned" argument based on profanity and personal attack. You don't do much service to yourself and to your beloved Reagan. Are all his supporters this unrestrained and inarticulate?

See, to put it in your language, I just "wiped the floor with your ass", but didn't have to resort to name calling to do so. Chew on that, and I'll give you "lesson two: argument through fact persuasion".

By the way. Are you in highschool?

OMFGLMFAO.
At least you provide some comic relief.

I didn't make any arguments. If I was going to argue a point, I would have. I wasn't trying to convince anyone of anything. I never said I was a fan of Reagan. You are the one who came into this thread in OT, NOT P&N, and started spewing your ultra liberal republican bashing ideology when it had nothing to do with the thread. I intended nothing more than to tell you to shut the fvck up and go away.

You are one of those P&N trolls that spend 99% of your time continuously spewing out the same party line in every thread in P&N. Then you spend the other 1% of your time watching OT to see if anything remotely political comes up so you can come spew your politics here as well.

Don't you get enough party line chanting to satisfy you in P&N without having to come over here and try to start political arguments in OT threads?

And by the way, I'm old enough to remember the Reagan era.
Are you?
Are you even American?
Did your extensive knowledge of the Reagan presidency come from experience or worshipping your liberal high school teachers?

Yeah, absolute SILENCE.

It was something to the effect:

[High pitched Leno voice] I know all of you heard that President Reagan died over the weekend. But you know, Reagan and Bush were sorta alike. Both Bush and Reagan had to come to terms with their foes...but Reagan didn't invade his opposers. [/High pitched Leno voice]

WOW. I can't believe he didn't throw that away as soon as he read it.
Comedy is generally a bit offensive and in bad taste, but this one is WAY over the line. Even if it had been twisted into something funny, he'd probably still get no laughs.

if you are so interested in keeping OT P&N free, you shouldn't be posting all this stuff about politics
 
That was just a very weak show. It's getting harder and harder for him to crack low end jokes as the vieweng audience gets stupider I suppose.
 
its still the funeral eulogy period. u know.. where no matter how much of an ass the guy was, the speaker will talk about how good he was etc blah blah. even though its bullsh*t, people feel comforted by this. its why the so called liberal media has been 24/7 reagan fawning for the last couple days.

It's not that I don't swear, ever. It's that you just sound like a moron. "You dont know what the fvck you're talking about, go hide under your rock you fvcking piece of sh!t troll." Give me a break. Again, I even agreed with your post, but try not to sound so stupid and childish when you make your points. You'll go farther in life.

Awwww, thanks for caring, but I'm doing just fine.

You are a college student studying music and giving me advice on how to go far in life. That's funny.

Back on topic, you can blame the writers, but the bottom line is that Leno must have read the script and he is an idiot if he thought a joke that mentioned Reagan would be well received.

Ooh, personal attacks. Go ahead and mock my chosen major if you like, you're only further proving your ignorance. I'm done now.

So where's that clip?

I was on here reading and listening to the show and wondered why it got so quiet. Thought the speaker on my tv had died. He does some pretty lame jokes from time to time. Oh well.. only reason I'm watching is cause of Jennifer Love Hewitt! 😀

I love her. and she isnt wearing a bra!

It's not that everyone loves Reagan. He singlehandedly widened the divide between the middle class and the rich, and was one of the most transparent puppets the Republican party ever put into Presidency. It's that his death represents a chance for America as a nation to look nostalgically back to a time when 9/11 and Osama wasn't on the radar.

Here we go again with the "Republicans are the rich peoples puppets and all they want to do is opress poor people!" its more like Reagan cut government programs (which included welfare and other commy BS) and created the longest peacetime boom the US economy ever saw. Just cuz a Dem tells you they are opressing the poor doesnt mean its true, hes just trying to buy your vote. Maybe the Reagan just knew that those socialist programs the Dems keep starting never have worked, still dont, and never will accomplish anything other than higher taxes and more government corruption.

Terrorists aiming to take down America were around since Jimmy Carter (hello, Iran hostages ring a bell?), more likely even before that. Maybe not Osama and 911 specifically. Remember the '83 Beruit Bombings? dude, get a clue.


Edit: sorry sholdnt have even responded, figured i was in P&N
 
So I gather the time isn't right to start calling him Ronald Waxhead again? BTW that nick name was started back in the 80's when Max Headroom was popular and Waxhead had to do with Reagan's Waxy Hairdo, not the fact that he had Alzhiemers (we weren't aware of it back then)
