To me, for what it is worth, it was no more nor less offensive than anything others have posted to attack pretend and made up so-called liberals.<br /><br />The only thing offensive to me about it is it does absolutely nothing to further any debate or any understanding of opposing points of view.<br /><br />Now I know it was supposed to be funny, but it is very difficult, and treads dangerous ground, to achieve humor when it is at the expense of any specific group of people, whomever that group happens to be.<br /><br />And I do agree with Snapper, for the most part. I thought RR was a fabulous public speaker, quick witted, and an extraordinarily elegant man. All wonderful qualities that we should expect in a president.<br /><br />He came in in very difficult times economically, and made some difficult choices, from some very difficult alternatives. <br /><br />I certainly did not like all of his policies, but I always thought he tried his best to keep the arguments about philosophy and policy, and did his best to not personalize the debate.<br /><br />It seemed to me that it was possible with RR to be a decent, patriotic American, and still disagree with him. That seems to be missing in this day and age, and it is, IMHO, a great loss.
