re: #221 Dark_Falcon

He kicked off his campaign there after being nominated because Philadelphia, Miss, was the site of a fair grounds, with the convention taking place during the period of county fair. The civil rights workers’ murders did not enter into Reagan’s campaign team’s calculations.

I’m sorry, DF, but he and his people knew exactly what they were doing. And I disagree with Obi on him too - he may have been good at pretending but there was deep and dark malice in his heart and it showed all over the place. His Central & South American policy was murderously evil and his denial of AIDS was calculated to not offend his supporters in right wing evangelical circles. If it caused a bunch of queers to die, so what? He only gave a fuck when one of his friends died.

Only his ignorance and the fact that Gorbachev was smart enough to use religion (pretending to be a good secret orthodox christian. Yeah, right.) as the way to lead him by the nose prevented him from causing the WWIII I expected him to start.
