He doesn't sound bitter, just unrepentant. I don't think he's smart enough to admit that his allies on the Left were responsible for most of the bloodshed during the 20th century. Heck, Reagan saved countless lives by opposing the spread of totalitarianism in Central American, as elsewhere. Old Lefties for the most part just can't admit their complicity in that murderous insanity, hence their cognitive dissonance. Michael Kelly wrote a good piece about that in his Washington Post column: Message 7134428 Remember, the Sandanistas never were popular, except among the ignorant and fellow travelers. And they were soundly rejected when elections were forced on them.

And what evidence do you have for that particular characterization, David? There's plenty enough bile here for everyone, near as I can tell. Civil Neocon congratulated me for winning on impeachment, why should I be bitter anyway? I find it amusing for a dyed-in-the-wool Clinton hater like you to be lecturing on bile. I also find it amusing to redirect the omnipresent Clinton hatred here in my direction from time to time. Though, for political purposes, I prefer the "all Clinton hatred, all the time" channel keep its focus. Only 20 months to the next election, keep working on that "you're stupid, and we're not!" campaign theme. Finally, "values." Many Republicans, cross about public support for Clinton, seem to think American values need protection from . . . Americans. As an electoral appeal, that needs work. Keep working on it, David. Granted, Clinton's silken charm makes one long for honest rancor. But Republicans who think people support him only because they have been irrationally charmed resemble Democrats who ascribed Reagan's popularity to his smile. A party in denial is in danger. George Will. Ronald Reagan's debate coach in '80. Want to call him a Marxist? Maybe denial is good, just like greed, eh, David?
