I had never seen this...I found it interesting.

[MODU]

Yeah, I remember that. 

How about that quick clip of a younger Joe Biden at the beginning, huh?

Mike,

I believe if you had listened to what was actually said, rather than what you wanted to hear, you would have heard something along the lines of the protestor was against nuclear weapons testing.

Since when does anti-nuke testing=anti-war.

That was actually former California Governor Jerry Brown.

Sorry, fixed.

Next question...how do you know he's a liberal?

He could be a communist...or just mentally deranged...but neither equals liberal.

[Boris]

Wow, the Secret Service sucks. Were it his intent, that guy could have possibly killed Reagan.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

i remember that also and i think about it about once a year.  it was a well-deserved body-slam

To Mike Naso, anything to the left of Peroutka is a godless liberal.

Wow, you just admitted Straha made a good point! That has to be one sign of the apocalypse. Also shows that you at least briefly unignored him.

Regardless, Straha IS correct in this case.

I actually find it interesting, and I had never seen that clip before either.

I'm not surprised Reagan was startled; the thing shattered all over him.  Plus, the guy came and stood right next to him - just think how easy it could have been to have caused him serious harm.

[AkSaber]

Yeah, so did I. I think the nutcase learned something, that threatening the President is a good way to get bodyslammed by the Secret Service.

[12th Doctor]

I find it ironic that someone who is anti-nuke woudl attack the only president since the invention of the bomb who serious talked about nuclear reductions treaties, as opposed to the nuclear limitations treaties which did nothing but limit how many more times the two superpowers could increase their ability to destroy all life on Earth.


Of course, the liberals will never give Reagan a fair shake and he will always be nothing more than a warmongering actor.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Giving Reagan a fair shake based on his actions would entail hating him as much as Russians hate Yeltsin or Stalin.

Well, there was the whole "evil empire" thing... there's more than just nuclear weapons.

The Soviet Union was an evil Empire.  But Reagan was willing to talk to a Soviet leader who was really willing to listen.

People think things were so much better after Stalin... well, when you compare it to that....

It was still an utterly totalitarian state, people might not have been getting gunned down every day, but desenters were declared "insane" and sent to metal institutions.  Homeless people still taken away by black vans and never seen again.  Unions were still forbiden.

In... I bleive it was Romania, the government wouldn't turn on the natural gas lines until the temperature fell below 40 degrees F, or there abouts... guess what, it was 40 degrees every day, no matter how cold it was.
