Extra, extra! Sarah Palin is exactly what you thought she was!

I read Cynthia's post not as "Regan was evil" simply, "The fact that Regan got elected highlighted a mentality in the populace that makes despotism and horrific events possible."

Much like, had McCain been elected, while I wouldn't have thought McCain a horrible human being (I mostly consider him a dupe and fool at this point, but not evil), I would certainly have been pretty displeased with the state of the populace.

That said, it's perhaps a bit of hyperbole for Cynthia to state that her statement doesn't carry SOME indication of her opinion of Regan - however it does not equate to "Regan is evil."
