Ron Reagan: You are NO Ronald Reagan

Ron Reagan, you are no Ronald Reagan.

Ron when interviewing a guest at least know the facts – how embarassing:

Memo to Ron Reagan: If you are going to debate Christopher Hitchens on terrorism, it is best not to do it on air. Part of Hitchens’ rebuke to Reagan:

CH: Do you know nothing about the subject at all? Do you wonder how Mr. Zarqawi got there under the rule of Saddam Hussein? Have you ever heard of Abu Nidal?

RR: Well, I’m following the lead of the 9/11 Commission, which…

CH: Have you ever heard of Abu Nidal, the most wanted man in the world, who was sheltered in Baghdad? The man who pushed Leon Klinghoffer off the boat, was sheltered by Saddam Hussein. The man who blew up the World Trade Center in 1993 was sheltered by Saddam Hussein, and you have the nerve to say that terrorism is caused by resisting it? And by deposing governments that endorse it? … At this state, after what happened in London yesterday?…

RR: Zarqawi is not an envoy of Saddam Hussein, either.

CH: Excuse me. When I went to interview Abu Nidal, then the most wanted terrorist in the world, in Baghdad, he was operating out of an Iraqi government office. He was an arm of the Iraqi State, while being the most wanted man in the world. The same is true of the shelter and safe house offered by the Iraqi government, to the murderers of Leon Klinghoffer, and to Mr. Yassin, who mixed the chemicals for the World Trade Center bombing in 1993. How can you know so little about this, and be occupying a chair at the time that you do?

Hugh Hewitt calls you a TWIT, Ron.

Flap agrees.

Stop embarassing yourself and get a REAL job.

Baldilocks has this piece, Not Just Flesh and Blood (UPDATED)

Poor Ron. Blissfully, he probably doesn’t realize how embarrassing the schooling was that Christopher gave him. It’s a blessing that Ron’s father isn’t here to see it.

But Ron’s problem is emblematic of those who refuse to see the nature of our enemy. He thinks that we can do something other than cease to exist in order to get the terror masters to stop blowing us up. He also thinks that history started on January 20, 2001 (the day George W. Bush was first inaugurated).

Unfortunately, I suspect that a WMD strike by the terrorists will get the attention of the George Galloways and the Ron Reagans of this world, however. Of course, that will be bad for the Western world, but it will be far worse for the Islamic world. We have hundreds (thousands?) of those things and a nuked USA/UK will have nothing to lose.

That fact ought to wake a few people up, but I’m not optimistic about it.

UPDATE: Hitchens and Reagan, the video.
