Reagan the anti-Semite

EAGAN THE ANTI-SEMITE: As the campaign by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) President Grover Norquist to rename Washington (D.C.) National Airport after President Ronald Reagan continues to gain momentum, liberals are starting to take notice-and complain with their usual grace. Here's Gloria Borger in the December 15 U.S.

News & World Report: "Norquist has another crusade: changing the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport ... Remind me, but didn't Reagan get elected by running against Washington? Wasn't he the one who fired the striking air traffic controllers? (The Ronald Wilson Reagan Control Tower?) And is there evidence that Reagan actually used or liked this airport? (Nope, says a former aide.) So what's next? The Richard M. Nixon Jewish Community Center?"
