re "That was mean, huh?" Not particularly. Not for a man who treated the poor, sick, and disenfranchised like they were the enemy.

I'm still pissed at him about things he said and did as Governor of Calif.
Referring to student protestors, he once said, "If they want a bloodbath, let's give it to them,"
On another occassion, he said, "You've seen one redwood tree, you've seem them all." (This is the Governor of California talking?!?!?!)

The republicans and the media have sanctified Ronnie because they got a LOT richer due to the "corporate-friendly" policies of his administration, the same policies which made the S&L debacle possible.

The winners write history, so he's called "The Great Communicator" in textbooks already. He'll always be "The Father of the Homeless" as far as I'm concerned.
