I'll donate $20 in the name of the poster who names my Raygun anniversary counter-bs site.

[EFerrari]

Next year is the 100th anniversary of the unfortunate day he was born and if you listen hard enough, you can hear the Heritage Foundation planning to drag out his corpse and fake legacy to spew all over us next year. The date itself is Feb 6.

Imo, the intertubes have to mount this counter-bs effort because Congress will likely go right along with whatever the Party of No tries to inflict on us. And they will use the fake memory of this real felon to bash the president. Let's do a little think tanking of our own. :evilgrin:

$20 isn't much but it's still $20 and what I have.

Whaddya got? :hi:

The real lowdown on Ronald Reagan's presidency

[Solly Mack]

17. www.telloneforthegipper.com

Tell *one* - a lie....as in: telling a big one

and then counter the lie with the facts

So the layout would be the lie they (GOP, etc..) they told/tell

with the facts listed immediately after

You could also generate a list that could be easily printed with myth/lie/facts

Also, Reagan fans would also go to the site thinking it a site to praise Reagan...

and even if it makes them angry, maybe a few will read and learn

If you like this (by some miracle) and were to use it (for whatever reasons), you could give the donation to someone else since I've already donated.

[EFerrari]

28. You're so great, Solly Mack.

Should it be a spoof site? That might be fun because it would draw the wingnuttery. :hi:

[Solly Mack]

36. Maybe a spoof page also included? Biting cartoons about Reagan especially.

but I was thinking a serious fact/myth page

I get the feeling we'll be hearing a lot about "win one for the gipper" next year...when the truth is, the GOP will being telling one/many (lies) for the gipper...that was my thinking anyway.

[EFerrari]

38. Absolutely. The whole site needs to debunk

And there needs to be one dense serious fact page. :hi:

[Solly Mack]

37. It kind of depends on who you audience is

if you want hits from reagan lovers
you might go with a site that sounds like a tribute site
ronaldreaganlegacy.com

otherwise I vote for factsarestupidthings.com
to quote the Raygun at the 1988 RNC convention.

[EFerrari]

41. Which do you think would be more effective?

I agree. Does the site go for giving people information or for reeling in true believers? I wonder if it can do both somehow.

[Extend a Hand]

95. Solly Mack's

telloneforthegipper.com might do both
but there are so many great ideas in this thread it would be hard to choose.

zombiereagan.com might get a younger crowd. My kid tells me zombies are popular now.

Idiot repubs attribute "facts are stubborn things" to reagan, but I bet that one is already taken.

[Libertas1776]

40. DitchedByDutch.com or

[Octafish]

125. Pruneface was a NAZI

"Pruneface" is what the late, great Detroit Mayor Coleman Young called him. From the old Dick Tracy comics, the handle matches the guy to a "T."

Pruneface

In keeping with what seems to be a recurring theme in comic history, Pruneface emerges as one of the deeply scarred (literally) villains. In a sea of relatively faceless goons, Dick Tracy's Pruneface emerged as one of the most memorable and thus warranted a significant amount of back story.

Since his debut in 1942 closely coincided with World War II, Pruneface was conveniently developed as a spy, saboteur and leader for the Nazi cause. An employee of the notorious mobster Big Boy, he soon proved himself to be a master henchman.

Alas, his reign at the top of the crime pyramid was to be (seemingly) shortlived, as readers were led to believe that he died just one year after his introduction into the series. After being captured by Dick Tracy, Pruneface appeared to have frozen to death in a blizzard.

[Solly Mack]

105. Reagan's "Gipper" isn't pronounced like a J , like in 'gip', which is a slur

but I can see how people unfamiliar with the movie where the nickname comes from might not know it's not an ethnic slur. So maybe it shouldn't be used.

I wasn't trying to offend the Roma/Romany/Irish Travelers.

Sorry!

Win one for the Gipper origins.

64. The Ronnie Raygun Retrospective

because the site will continue long after the next year.

reminds me of "animal collective" or "the jimi hendrix experience" or a museum of kitsch culture... and what was Reagan, if not a manifestation of kitsch culture?

[EFerrari]

68. Well, he was a union buster, an exporter of torture and a homophobe that ignored the AIDs epidemic.

Under all that kitsch, there are a lot of dead people. To get serious for a minute.

Which suggests the fake link: BanalityOfEvil.com

[RainDog]

74. He was the voice of the American spirit, as he broke up the unions and thus middle class

that's the kind of kitsch I'm talking about. political bullshit wrapped in an American flag with Bob Seeger singing "Like a Rock" while attacking auto workers.

All the while engaging in criminal actions like Iran-Contra, funneling money to terrorists, supporting right wing dictators...

All with a big smile on his face and an "Aw Shucks" demeanor.

...and just to note, when all those talibornagains were voting for Reagan predicting the end of the world because of liberals (hmmmmm), the ONLY leader whose name fit the "666" tripe was Ronald Wilson Reagan.

30 years later, we do see the economic apocalypse.

...while liberals get blamed and those who would benefit from universal medicare fight against it. That sort of kitsch.

75. Funny thread and useful endeavor.

from a Cal student while Reagan was Governor and a professional that resigned from the US Forest Service after 16 years when Reagan was POTUS.

Also my Dad, an FDR Democrat, thought highly and supported Reagan and this one one of our greatest philosophical divides ever.

If you need some hard facts as to policy and how the National Forest planning process under NEPA, NFMA, and other forward looking legislation, specific to the western timber sale program, were ignored and harmed by Reagan's favoritism to large corporations at great cost to the taxpayers and integrity of the US Forest Service, I will do some well-supported input to your site.

On public services did sadly frown.
Got clean away by conning the voters
And smiled to see the jobs go down.
