Honestly. You go to all the trouble to layout your timeline and evolving political awareness and trolls do their troll thing and ask BUT what about before that era?, and you point out that before that era there was somebody who did something but was undermined by opposing party members and stymied and therefore it was not enough but DURING the era you're talking about the replacement for the guy who was undermined when he tried to do something was a guy who actively worked in the wrong direction on the subject of apartheid and LAUGHED AT people like you and your friends and loved ones who were suffering as an epidemic hit them and after you go to all that trouble, more trouble than the troll deserves, it comes back with another reference to the guy BEFORE the era you are talking about. I guess that's trolling in a nutshell.
It's a false equivalency. Jimmy Carter didn't act callously toward the lives of people affected by HIV or apartheid, he did what he could about the latter. So did Reagan: he did what he could to strengthen apartheid and he laughed about AIDS.
End of story.

Posted: 12/7/13 at 7:35pmWondering when somebody is going to accuse Obama of "playing the race card" after praising Mandela is not "playing the race card". Just as wondering why suestorm isn't dead is not the same as wishing suestorm were dead. Oh, and sue? Go Leahy yourself.

Does she still get paid by BWW?
Just for comparison, when I created A JOKE profile for a punchline to a off-topic thread I was suspended for a month.

Posted: 12/10/13 at 2:15pmi never liked him and felt that some horrible music came out of the anti-apartheid movement. also, lethal weapon 2. plus, he was actually a plaid. so, that's that.

I remember Paul Simon got a titch defensive about breaking the cultural boycott of South Africa he said that nobody had ever asked The Ramones to play Sun City.
To be fair, it was just Joey on the song. Johnny would have gone in a heartbeat.

It's amazing that some conservative pundits insist that Reagan didn't support apartheid and some insist he supported Apartheid and was right to do so- and sometimes both, even in the same article!
"His Treasury Secretary James Baker said Sunday that Reagan likely regretted this veto. But having worked with the president on his veto message and address on South Africa, I never heard a word of regret.
Nor should there have been any." (That's Pat Buchanan- are you surprised?)
Reagan hated apartheid, he just wanted it to last longer
