I know - that they are proposing to place the Gipper on the dime is just an outrage. But, people just have no taste when promoting an agenda.
Interesrtingly, a similar thing recently happened here in Atlanta. Our airport (the second largest in the country) was named "Hartsfield" after a local prominent white aviation figure. Then, Maynard Jackson, a very well liked and prominent African Amercian mayor of Atlanta, died. Just about the entire group of African American political movers and shakers determined the airport should be renamed the Maynard Jackson airport and the hell with ole Hartsfield. The fight got so ugly here that you were branded a racist if you dared question why Mr. Hartsfield's name should be removed. The promoters of the name change even had candlelight vigils against the obvious racism that they felt was going on. In the end, it became the "Hartsfield-Jackson" airport - a suitable compromise in my book. Yet, there are still cries of racist when in my book the African American politicos wrongly used the false threat of racism to achieve their goals - which I find disgusting.
So, I think the conservative right wing will similarly scream liberal bias when the sides go to war on the dime. Sad - but very true
