To be frank..........I am disgusted. Reagan was not the saint conservatives make him out to be.........he wasn't a monster but he was human like the rest of us.

I'm just catching up with the thread, but I had to comment. I can't claim this analogy as my own, but it points out the issue well:

What they were trying to do would be similar to having Bill Clinton say "Let those black folks starve. They are just a bunch of Africans." when referring to Rawanda.

Would that be fair? Would you have an issue with that?

There is a big difference between having dramatic license, and taking advantage of the situation to alter people's perceptions.
