Reply #17: You might have me confused w/someone else...

...this is the first I have posted about him. I have seen some other stuff about him on DU and I can see how it might be annoying to hear someone complain about the same thing all the time.

Regarding your comments: I absolutely respect your point of view and see it only as an expression of your compassion.

I mainly posted this because of the blind eye being turned by the media. When I initially saw the article I posted, I was reminded of who this guy truly was and thought I should share this with others.

Regarding the dead, I think it is important to respect the feelings of the family, etc. I also think that being tasteless (an example would be Space Shuttle jokes...I have heard them believe it or not) is uncalled for.

But when the media is clearly displaying a limited, inaccurate and seemingly biased portrait of a man; It is DU and other alternative media sources that provide a forum for finding the truth about people, especially leaders, dead or alive.

Remember when Reagan died? It was only here, AAR and other places like it, where you could hear some balance.
