A caller asked Limbaugh about why Ronald Reagan is the hero of Conservatives.
Quote:
A liberal caller asked Limbaugh why Ronald Reagan is a hero to conservatives when he raised taxes, cut and ran from Lebanon, granted amnesty to illegal immigrants, and negotiated with terrorists. Limbaugh answered by claiming that the caller didn’t understand Reagan, “Why is a Reagan a hero to conservatives. Given what you said, and I am not trying to avoid the question, I don’t think you’d understand it.”
Limbaugh blamed Media Matters, and said that the caller’s understanding of Reagan is flawed, “Well, because you understand Reagan in a way that is flawed. Your call is actually kind of interesting because you represent the impossibility of bridging the gap. Somebody like you just has to be defeated.”

Name one good thing Reagan did? I mean for the American people,not corporations or illegal Aliens....it'll be a short list so it shouldn't take you long to compile.

He made white people feel good because he was always beating down blacks and gays.
There is no such thing as "typical" right wing deflection, because we don't typically deflect. Deflection is changing the subject. Telling someone their understanding is flawed isn't deflection. Just like my telling you now how flawed your understanding of the term deflection is, telling someone their understanding is flawed is a legitimate response. I'm not saying Limbaugh was right or that Limbaugh was wrong, but your response to what he said is incorrect.

If telling someone "you wouldn't understand it" is not a deflection, it is at the very least non-responsive.
