Once again the Hillbots take a vacation from reality! (on Reagan and McGlurkin)
I am not suggesting that at a fundmamental level the Obama did not deserve criticism for allowing McGlurkin on a stay at an Obama event (even though he was not there....and basicallty distanced himself from McGlurkin's views)

Yet when we find out Clinton shared a stage with McGlurkin the outrage is virtually non existent.



I am not suggesting that Obama's comment about Reagan's trajectory was not at some fundamental level somewhat endorsing of Reagan's tenure (even though he never endorsed Reagan's policies or said that they were good as ome would have you believe).


Yet when we find out Clinton said that Reagan was 'a child of the Depression, so he understood it . When he had those big tax cuts and they went too far, he oversaw the largest tax increase. He could call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire and then negotiate arms-control agreements. He played the balance and the music beautifully. ". There is no outrage....there is no defense.


Hello Hypocrisy thy name is Hillbot.

Clinton's comment sounds like she's insulting Reagan. Calling him two-faced.

On the McClurkin thing --wasn't Bill's event. Was Andrew Young's --no?
