Ron Reagan rips Republicans

[quaoar]

Just now on MSNBC

He said "right-wing jihadists wouldn't recognize the truth if it was giving them a lap dance." He said Republican dishonesty is matched only by its incompetence.

He cited numerous examples of Republicans using the "N-word" as in Nazi and said Democrats need to STOP APOLOGIZING.

1. There's one Reagan I'd vote for President

[prodigal_green]

2. Woo hoo!

I love that line! And from what we've seen from the "moral values" crowd, they are all too familiar with lap dances.

[NYCGirl]

3. I love Ron Reagan. He's a keeper.

It's too bad he has no interest in getting involved in elective politics.

[whatever4]

26. Probably all the better reason to elect him! nm

[Al-CIAda]

4. Its way past time to break out the baseball bats. n/t

FUCK APOLOGIZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[napi21]

5. That's the kind of response I'm looking for!

This appologize crap has got to stop!

[ComerPerro]

6. Wow

[redqueen]

7. Go Ron!

I love it... "wouldn't recognize the truth if it was giving them a lap dance."

:rofl:

[formerrepuke]

8. And remember what he said at his father's funeral: "My father didn't

wear his religion on his sleeve for political gain..." Anyway, Ronald Sr was waaaaaay more popular than *....

[bunny planet]

11. He also said something like 'my father shat bigger turds than Bush'

I'm paraphrasing, but it was a great line.

[patricia92243]

45. Now THAT is funny!! n/t

[dogday]

9. Absolutely, he also said you can't sell a broken product

meaning the President will not get support for the Iraq war...-

[earthboundmisfit]

10. Best line I've heard for a long while!

Cheers to Ron Reagan - I've been a fan for years. :toast:

[yebrent]

12. Why hasn't he run for office?

[NYCGirl]

14. He's said he has absolutely no desire to run for office. NT

[Synnical]

20. He's an atheist

"I'm an atheist. So there you go right there. I can't be elected to anything because polls all say that people won't elect an atheist." -- Ron Reagan, replying to Larry King's question about following in his father's footsteps and running for president. June 23, 2004

[whatever4]

27. Love it!!! Now I REALLY think he should go into politics nm

[checks-n-balances]

36. Maybe later, but right now I'm so glad he's able to speak the TRUTH

out of that vast wasteland, the corporate media. He's a treasure right where he is!!

[whatever4]

47. Good point! nm

[FreedomAngel82]

40. How sad

Too bad he couldn't change that. What's the deal with people and faith in politics? I remember last April here in my town we had a mayoral race and there were rumors going around one of the canidates was an atheist and everybody on the local news networks were freaking out. One local network did an interview with this canidate and of course she was a Christian. This appointent claimed someone from the now mayor's campaign sent it out without proof of course. I don't see why what someone personally believes matters. I remember hearing stories of how when JFK was running people would freak out about him being a Catholic and have wild theories that he and the Pope were going to take over the country. :eyes: Too bad he couldn't run and change things.

13. Lets see how many examples we can come up...

Femi-Nazi - Rush Limbaugh.

"We certainly have all seen the rejections of Nazi Germany's abuses of science,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) declared regarding his opposition to stem cell research last October. “As a society and a nation, there ought to be some limit on what we can allow or should allow."

In response to a ruling on abortion last September, Congressman Steve King said following law on reproductive rights equivalent to a Nazi guard saying he was following orders.

“That, Mr. Speaker, is a ‘modern-day’ equivalent of the Nazi prison guard saying 'I was just following orders,’” he said on the House floor Sept. 8, 2004. “It was all legal in Nazi Germany at the time.”

Another senator even compared the Kyoto climate treaty to Nazism, repeating a quotation from a Russian official.

Sen. James Inhofe said Oct. 11, 2004 that Kyoto "would deal a powerful blow on the whole humanity similar to the one humanity experienced when Nazism and communism flourished."

15. any video?

[quaoar]

16. Don't know

hopefully they will post some at some point.
He was on fire.

[samsingh]

17. Ron Reagan should run for the Senate.

[quaoar]

18. I think he lives in Seattle

Not sure of that though. Washington already has two Dem senators.

[Bluesplayer]

21. he could run

for Elizabeth Dole's seat in North Carolina - he's as much a resident there as she is.

[Arugula Latte]

19. Old Ronnie's doing back flips in his grave.

Bwa ha ha!

[patricia92243]

44. I'm not so sure about that. Times change, plus this is NOT Old Ron's Repu

Republican Party anymore. The neo-cons have taken over, and a lot of Republicans want THEIR party back.

I'm pretty sure that Nancy Reagan agrees with Ron, Jr. - especially on stem-cell research. I think Old Ron might surprise us all.

[CBHagman]

22. You have to admire the man's ability to ...

...select an analogy calculated to ruffle the feathers of the right wing. :evilgrin:

[Totally Committed]

23. "right-wing jihadists wouldn't recognize the truth...

... if it was giving them a lap dance." ROTFLMAO!

I love this guy!

[4_TN_TITANS]

24. I love Ron......

What a champion for the cause! He's also a really good commentator for the dog shows on Animal Planet.

:yourock:

[johnaries]

28. Welcome to DU, fellow Titans Fan!

Fisher Rocks!
:toast:

[Catfight]

25. I'm sorry there are republicians in this world.....nt

[NightOwwl]

29. Was this on Coast to Coast? n/t

[quaoar]

32. Yes

It was on the Coast to Coast show

[JackCo]

30. Agree Completely

The republicans expect dems to apologize for every word uttered they feel reflects on them badly. Yet when they spew vile hateful words us dems are expected to cower down and take it.

[quaoar]

33. Welcome to DU

[JimmyJazz]

50. I totally agree. Republicans don't offer apologies - they

offer spin. :(

Welcome to DU, btw.

[goclark]

31. Go Ron!

Your mother would be proud of you!

I do believe she has turned into a Democrat but is too tired to change now.
If she will just stay with the stem cell issue that would be ok with me.

[DeepModem Mom]

34. LOL! "Right-wing jihadists wouldn't recognize the truth...

if it was giving them a lap dance." Go, Ron!

[realFedUp]

35. Republicans don't care

they just don't care about telling the truth.

[Outrider]

37. How long before

How long before the repubs come out and say that Ron Reagan isn't the true son of Saint Ronnie. You know that at least privately most of the repubs consider the adopted son to be more of a son to the great one then Ron Jr.

[LightningFlash]

38. Bingo...Don't apologize to fascists.

Lest you become one yourself...

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Gotta love Ron!

I remember when he spoke at the DNC convention about stem cell research and he and his mother came out for it cause of his father. All the rightwingers were calling them traitors and stuff. It was great because of how they idolize Reagan!

[kentuck]

41. This must cut the Repubs right to the bone...?

Tohave the son and namesake of their hero speaking up for the liberals and the Democratic Party?

[Totally Committed]

42. "You don't apologize to Fascists."...

This guy is awesome!

43. Ron Rocks!

:D

[redacted]

46. Where/when is his show? Does he have a website?

[wicket]
