Who is the most misunderstood politician of recent years?

[Bo]

Ariel Sharon or Benjamin Netanyahu

[Bo]

Ronald Reagan, the most massively overrated President of all time.

If you're going to use that logic, you could just as easily say JFK or Clinton.

If anything I think Clinton is underrated, and I don't think I woud consider JFK recent...

Why do you think Clinton is underrated? He didn't really do much, and luck played a large role in causing most of the good things that occured under his Presidency. Also, he gave the country a GOP Congress due to his failure on healthcare reform.

I agree with Kalwejt about Saddam, even though I think Netanyahu and Sharon are even more misunderstood.

How so?

Because a lot of people have negative opinions of them even though all they did as Israeli PM (in Netanyahu's case, in his second term) was protecting the Israeli people by killing terrorists and crushing terrorist infastructure, which many previous Israeli leaders failed to do and thus thousands of Israelis unnecessaarily lost their lives due to terrorism which their govt. was unwilling to stop or prevent.

I'd probably argue that Pim Fortuyn would fit that bill perfectly. Every article I see that mentions him treats him like essentially the Danish Dutch Pat Buchanan, when nothing could possibly be further from the truth.

If Pim Fortuyn was even remotely like Pat Buchanan, I never would have liked him.

He's the Dutch Harvey Milk, except at a more national level than City Supervisor.

Was Fortuyn gay?
