Conservatives’ Thoughtful Response to Greg Palast – Plus Noam Chomsky
“I wanted to make a correction to your story about Mr. Reagan. You see, that Nicaraguan woman did not die of TB, nor because of Ronalds hollywood grin. She died because I fucked her in the eyeball, like your mother. Although both acts were consensual, I felt the need to share this with you Greg, because, well, I felt the need for you DISBURSE… now. right now. have a good day fucker. and don’t talk shit about people who’ve done more while sitting on the can than you’ve done since you helped me fuck your mother in her eyeball.”

Cool! I finally found a trailer park on the internet.
Your nothing but a low life piece of shit! You will burn in hell!

You’re an asshole. That’s my free speech.

Glad that someone has the honesty to say it. The coverage here is depraved. Just got a letter from a friend in Norway, quoting the press there. Even worse: the greatest president in history, etc.
One should never underestimate the servility and cowardice of intellectuals.

Subject: Your Ronald Reagan Comments…
Greg,
You are
probably snorting a line of coke off of a hooker’s ass
right now anyway.
Frankly, your daddy should have rolled over and shot
you onto the wall. Please continue to stink up the
joint, because truth still needs enemies, and the
world needs journalistic ditch-diggers too.

He He He! What bottom feeders like you don’t even realize is that Reagan will never be dead because his ideas will live on. In fact they are alive and well through George Bush right now. However, your Marxist philosphy is DEAD!

“I am comforted by the thought that as long as people like you, Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Michael Moore, and Ed Asner are the shining icons of Republican opposition, this country and the Republican party are indeed on solid footing and headed in the right direction.
May God bless you, lift you from ignorance, grant you wisdom, and have mercy upon your soul,’
R. Bolson

You are a sorry, slimey piece of sh*t. You insult Ms. Reagan for being skinny? What are you, a fat ass?

Great site. The humour was fantastic. Nothing is quite as amusing as a goofy little liberal fuck such as yourself.

HI Greg.!! YOU SILLY GOOSE! YOU ARE SUCH A KIDDER! I REMEMBER WHEN I DID SOME NAUGHTY THINGS WITH A MEMBER OF THE TEACHERS UNION AND THOUGHT I HAD AIDS. GOOD THING I DIDN’T BECAUSE RONALD REAGAN DIDN’T CARE ONE BIT ABOUT BUMPER FETISHES
KEEP UP THE JOKES!!

Terrific piece, Greg. Rick (an American in Japan) passed the reference to me, I had a look at it and passed it on to my email list of a couple of hundred.
Rick and I had a comment to add:
Geoff’s comment:
Palast didn’t go back far enough. He’s forgetting the the slimey role Reagan played as a so-called champion of actors, in delivering actors and other showbiz people to the slavering jaws of McCarthyism.
Rick’s comment:
Although Palast doesn’t mention it, the Raygun administration also gave us the “unified budget,” which made it possible to loot the Social Security fund, thank you. But hey, what do rich people like the Gipper need with Social Security, anyway? Let them eat cake!

I believe in freedom of speech but your remarks are sickening. What you need is a good old fashioned ass-whipping.

Too bad the teargas and the truncheons missed their mark Greg. After reading this looney left-wing propaganda I wish I could teach you some manners with a truncheon.
Nicaragua’s ugly civil war undoubtedly had vicitms on both sides. But Reagan had the common sense to recognize that communism was part of a broader threat – a threat that lefties like you spent decades apologizing for…
Interestingly, it is the moguls of Hollywood that now hate Reagan the most – and the farmers and everyday workers that remember him with such admiration.
That must kill you, leftist lackwit that you are!

Loved it. Ding dong the bitch is dead. I remember what Reagan did in this country. 25,000 dead of AIDs before he even said the word in public. I remember the Act Up die-ins. Glad Nancy had to see him suffer for years, too. Not because it gives me pleasure, but because it has renewed my faith in God and the universe. Thanks for helping me get through the day without puking over all the “Reagasms” going on.
Love ya,
Kerry

Greg,
in a time of reagan-iscance, this article was a breath of fresh air. i know you will receive plenty of negative comments, for dancing on the grave of the deceased, but i think it is worthwhile to know the truth.
thanks

Thanks for speaking the truth! As we used to say, “Right on, brother!”

Thank you for speaking the truth.
I was going nuts with all the falsehood I’ve been hearing,
nonstop, in the media.

Write on Greg, Write on!

*Thank you — oh thank you! I have wanted to PUKE for the last two days. His legacy will be his inaction during AIDS emergence. I’m glad the asshole lived as long as he did I can’t think of a better punishment for him or Nancy.

Thanks for that obit, spoken from my heart. At least someone dares to
speak of the emperors nonexisting clothes.

It’s about time someone said it!
You Go Greg!!!!!

What a pathetic little pile of shit you are. remove me immed. and pray we never come face to face you sick demented little prick.

Dear Mr. Palast….I once again feel completely elated by your words of
truth, which is a no no in todays world. thank you so much, i was so
sick of these lying tributes to this person. you are truly what i
believe a journalist is all about. thank you so much for real>.

Bravo for having the guts to continue to tell the truth. Americans
have such short memories. Reagan was one of the worst presidents ever
and yet the right wing imbeciles mention him in the same breath as FDR
and Lincoln. Keep up the great work. America may wake up some day to
the truth and I hope that happens sometime soon.
Sincerely yours,
Neil C

Yes, and don’t forget the mentally ill and the clinics that were going to
help them once the asylums closed—-the jails are doing the job now. You
are great and we appreciate your hard work.

Thank you for setting the record straight! Collective amnesia is to society
what Alzheimers was to Reagan: the long good-bye. Frankly, I’d rather
remember.
Keep up the great work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH…THIS *FREAKSHOW* IN WASHINGTON IS ALREADY REWRITING HISTORY AND LINKING THE SUPPOSED TRIUMPHS OF THE REAGAN ERA TO SHRUB. WM. KRISTOL ON Cspan WAS SAYING THAT RONALD REAGAN WAS ALSO LOATHED INTERNATIONALLY AND WAS PROVEN BY HISTORY TO BE RIGHT AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH…THEY WILL USE THIS DEATH AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS WELL-LIKED TO LEGITIMIZE THEIR ROTTEN POLICIES AND WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR VOICE AT THIS TIME, AND AT ALL TIMES, TO RATIONALLY AND CLEARLY TELL THE OTHER SIDE.
I HOPE THAT PART OF THE LEGACY OF THIS GENERATION WILL BE A SHOWING IN THE HISTORY BOOKS OF THE HEROISM THAT YOU AND A FEW OTHERS HAVE EXHIBITED IN TRYING TO GET THE COMATOSE TO SEE THE FACTS.

BRAVO.
I was a student then too, and I remember the tear gas…with the exits blocked by the National Guard. (How did
so many people forget that??)
And I remember the cheese giveaway where he said he wished the people would get botulism from it.
How about the “We start bombing in five minutes” joke where he didn’t realize his mike was on….The “Great Communicator”. What a joke.
I never thought I’d hate a president more than I hated Nixon and then came Reagan.
But I think that Bush Jr. has usurped his place of hatred in my heart. He’s every bit as mean and dumb.
