re: Reagan said, "Facts are stupid things" . . .

. . . and the far right made it their mantra.

Well, cudos to you for at least saying 'far' right, and not blanketing to all of the right.

anyway, I think it was a slip up, like when he said "gerald ford was a communist" instead of congressman, and in this case "stupid things" instead of "stuborn things" as john adams said.

Some of the right-wing Clinton-haters disregarded facts that contradicted their crap.

and of course I see no difference in that from the left wing Bush haters. . .

I doubt you can cite a lot of examples, other than Greg's occasional hyperbole, where he's ignored contradictory facts.

I'll point them out to you as I read them in the future if you want, (don't have time to o back and do that now). Of course what seems like a fact ot me does not seem like a fact to him, or maybe even to you. isn't it all subjective to your side? k

And you realize your phrase "everything you post" is hyperbolic crap, don't you?

Very well, perhaps I was too 'hyperbolic'. I can give you that, however technically I am still right given that what was posted below, while, the average value may be crap, there is some truth, some partial truth, and a lot of crap. Likewise with that statement you could conclude that I may agree that there might somtimes be some truth, some partial truth, to some things that greg posts (but a majority of crap just like the article I cited). But thats getting silly.

P.S. I wonder, do you insist Reagan meant "facts are stupid things" or it was a slip up and he meant to say stubborn?
