"The white race cannot survive without dairy products."--Herbert Hoover
WTF? I found this on a blog. I've searched the net to see if Hoover really said it, but haven't been able to find anything.

These are all 
... Some are funny, some are scary...
You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them.
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 14, 1991
This is God's power and he sent this thing to warn us ... we needed a shock.
-- Pat Robertson, remarking on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, quoted by Robert E Norlander in a dispatch of September 14, 2001
I think "one man, one vote," just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, March 18, 1992, suggesting that South African white people's votes ought to count more than other votes because they are in the minority
A cult is any group that has a form of godliness, but does not recognize Jesus Christ as the unique son of God.... One test of a cult is that it often does not strictly teach that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who Himself is God manifested in the flesh.... Christian-oriented cults include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), the Worldwide Church of God, Christian Science, Unity, Unitarianism, The Way International, Rosicrucian Society of America, Bahai, Hare Krishna, Scientology, the Unification Church, and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
-- Pat Robertson, CBN pamphlet entitled "Cults," dated 1992
How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?
-- Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 227
Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history.
-- Pat Robertson, interview with Molly Ivins, 1993.

I like these!! Some are really quite hilaraious!!
Though I don't know if I'll be able to find the direct quote (I'll look for it when I get a chance), but, I do remember hearing Ronald Reagan say something to the effect of:
There is no poverty (or poor people) in America.
I thought that was pretty psychotic. And would definitely fit in with the title of this thread!

Pat Robertson is such an azz. Every single time I've tried to hold my nose and watch the 700 Club, I've made it about 10 or 15 minutes before I absolutely must find something less painful to do... like hanging by thumbscrews...

and her rival Barrack Obama, January 6, 2008
"One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same
mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African
Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We're still paying the price for the
pathetic manner in which this country handled that... I think, frankly, the
Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before."
– Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at a meeting of
the Political Animals Club in Little Rock, Arkansas, December, 2006
"Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers

And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women." --Ann Coulter

When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front-row seat.
I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood.
Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It's because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time.
Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you're just what they're looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
Property is theft. Nobody "owns" anything. When you die, it all stays here.
The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.

My parents used to leave it on in the morning times and yell at it(The 700 club on TV). I used to call them political/religious masochists... They always told me 'know thine enemy'... My response: But once we see he is a moron, I think it's time to tune out, for our own sanity...
Although I must admit I do get stuck on TBN if I'm flipping through channels and Jan Crouch is on... Kinda like watching a car crash... I can't look away...

I think a possible and likely answer to both questions is "To be like, but have one up on Tammy Faye".

Please tell us more about yourself.
This is fascinating. Truly.
Thank you. I'm glad you asked. I actually like being the bad guy on this discussion board. Ever stood behind an old woman in a check-out line that just stood there like an old buzzard--jerking around the girl at the cash register over a book of stamps or some cigarettes? Ever got the urge to punch that little bitch in the gutt? Yeah. I have.
I get that same kind of satisfaction when I take on certain topics on this discussion board--like punching an old bitch in the gutt. When I can take a bunch of self-righteous, vacuous, rigid, pretentious, pompous people and reduce them to making immature insults and resort to using devious, deceitful tactics to dismiss, minimalize, and ignore an opposing argument because they can't logically defend their argument I get that same satisfaction.
You can't punch and old woman in the stomach and be a good guy. You can't drop kick a snot-nozed kid in the nuts because he has gone wild and driven all of his teachers crazy and be a good guy.

During a White House news conference Thursday morning, President Bush said the country is not headed into a recession, noting that the government has acted "robustly." His view of the economy, however, is far more chipper than that of many economists, who fear the country is entering a recession (or may even already be in one. In fact, when asked by a reporter about what advice he'd given an average American, who is faced by the prospect of $4 gallon gas, the President responded: "That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. ... I know it's high now."

"That aint no sh1t I want to be a part of. I can recall when I was a teenager working way out in the burbs at a restaurant, washing dishes. It was another brother working in their too who talked a lot a smack. So I called him on it. He then called his boys and they were supposed to come up there with their heaters and slit. I could not get in contact with none of my boys...but a white dude in their who I hardly knew say he would help me fight the cats...because they were in the wrong. For me...color aint got sh1t to do with right and wrong and who is being treated fairly and unfairly. I am a Pan African because African people have been abused, exploited and oppressed in this world and it aint never stopped. I don't have to support every Negro because he is black.....I am always going to support the person being mistreated in any damn situation. To be honest, the way I see black folks having turned on the Clinton......we aint Sh1t!"

"The central question that emerges ... is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes "” the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro: but it is a fact that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists."--" [A]lmost certainly written by Mr. [William F.] Buckley," National Review editorial, 8/24/57

Germany doesn't want to go to war,
and the two most powerful men in America are named Bush and Dick."

After watching HBO's account of the 2000 elections (RECOUNT) I'm puzzled as to why the SCOTUS stepped in, stopped the recount, then stated that the deadline had passed and found that somehow DUBYA would be done irreparable harm by counting the votes
WTF?
on top of that, they made the ruling unusable as a precedent...(i don't know the legal term for this)

Because the "American people" thought that's what would be in the best interest of our country at that time.
That would include those that voted .. and those that didn't.

"How Stupid. Just look at the mess since Race mixing, taking prayer out of schools, and making abortions legal. As a white southerner who lived before the evil civil rights acts of 1964, I know how good it was. Blacks in my home town would cross over to the other sidewalk out of respect when my mom & dad and I would walk down the sidewalk. The blacks had their section of town and whites had theirs. Separating the Races worked. We would leave and go on vacation for weeks at a time and leave our doors unlocked, we didn't have to worry about robbery. Now with Black Crime always on the increase we have to lock doors in the daytime. When are Blacks going to realize they can control their own future, Stop having babies out of wedlock, Stop the Rap Crap that causes crime, If you behave as normal citizens we will treat you as such. Like the looting in New Orleans after Katrina, It would not even cross my mind to loot someones store. Power was out, flood waters was over everything, they were coming out of stores with baskets of Tennis Shoes and DVD Players. Blacks created the problem, Actually Abraham Lincoln Started it by the Emancipation Proclimation, the foul document that freed the slaves. Lincoln had no authority in the Confederacy. Took the labor force from the people. If we had won the war between the states things would be much better. The Glorious Confederacy, Long may she be remembered as a bright and glorious time, where life was good, bring her back, we need to secceed from the union again."

"One of our readers sent us a scan from an old paper of his. The topic was "Cause and Effect of the Iraq war" and I'm guessing the teacher wanted their students to write a puff piece about how awesome we're kicking ass in Iraq. But this teacher is from South Carolina. What do we expect."

Katie Couric interviews Sarah Palin about reforming the finance industry:
How dare Couric ask the question three times in an effort to elicit an actual answer? She has obviously become a tool of the Obama campaign and is hereby banned from further contact with the McCain campaign on the grounds of insufficient deference.
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2008/09/john_mcca...o_of_wall_stree.html
COURIC: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
PALIN: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie "” that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.
COURIC: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.
PALIN: He's also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about "” the need to reform government.
COURIC: [...Da hell you say !?!...] I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?
PALIN: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.
COURIC: [...Da hell you say !?!...]

Yeah, I knew that, but it seemed like something The Onion would print. And Katie was probably thinking "DHYS?" in her mind.
I read through some on the comments and this one stood out: "Some may find her efforts to answer without political evasion an endearing quality." For a minute I thought the writer had a point. What with the current climate of anti-intellectualism, her fans could spin it that way. But, at some point ignorance has to be recognized for what it is.
"A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it. "

A women's shelter on Wednesday cut headliner Sandra Bernhard from its annual benefit after she said Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be gang-raped if she ever visited New York.
Bernhard's made the remarks last month during her one-woman show in Washington before Palin visited New York to campaign. Bernhard said Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" during a diatribe in which she also criticized Palin for opposing abortion rights.

During the October 3 broadcast of Minneapolis radio station KTLK's The Chris Baker Show, Baker and fellow KTLK host Langdon Perry discussed Gov. Sarah Palin's "hotness." After Baker asserted that Palin is "hot," Perry responded, "She's the hottest vice-presidential candidate ever, but I don't think she's -- but I don't think she's standalone hot." Baker also said that Palin "shoulda had a little cleavage going" during the October 2 vice-presidential debate to "[d]istract [Sen.] Joe Biden a little bit," and added: "[S]how your stuff, you know what I'm saying? Use all your assets." He then said: "By the way, I noticed a panty line on her. ... When they turned to walk to the podium, I saw a panty line."
Baker went on to say: "By the way, I would say some of the shallowest political analysis you'll find anywhere on the airwaves -- but more real world. Tell me that people weren't looking at her and going, 'Oh whoa.' " Perry then remarked that Palin's "wink was a -- that wink was as 'come hither' a wink as I've seen."
As Media Matters for America documented, Baker said on October 2 that "I'm not that excited about women voting" and declared on September 18 that "it's rare to find a woman worthy of serving in political office."

PERRY: I really, I actually ended up liking Sarah Palin more after last night than I had before, but I still don't get the Palin-mania. I mean, I thought she made some decent points, I thought she handled herself better than I expected, and I think she's likable in a lot of ways. She's got a nice smile, and she seems likable.
BAKER: Hot.
PERRY: See, I think she's hot for a vice-presidential candidate. She's the hottest vice-presidential candidate ever, but I don't think she's -- but I don't think she's standalone hot.
BAKER: Really?
PERRY: In other words, if you just saw her on the street, I don't know if you'd go, "Man, she's hot."
BAKER: Oh, I do.
PERRY: She's hot for a vice -- it's the Mark Bauer theory of relative hotness -- but I think she's hot for --
BAKER: Wait a minute, can you break down the Mark Bauer theory of -- well, let's do this. Let's take our first little break here.
[...]
BAKER: Did Sarah Palin change your mind? Now, we all remember, Sarah Palin will not be the president. But after watching that debate last night, I am certainly happier that, as the vice president, she's going to have John McCain's ear. I like that little wink to the crowd last night: "Oh, I'm going to try to turn him on that ANWR thing."
PERRY: That was a "come-hither" wink.
BAKER: Was it?
PERRY: Oh, yeah. That was one of those -- that was --
BAKER: And I -- and you know what else I got a kick out of was the shout-out to the elementary school kids.
PERRY: That was so -- I hated every second of --
BAKER: What do you mean you hated that?
PERRY: It was so cute. She's so precious sometimes. It's just a little over the top for me.
[...]
BAKER: And she's got glasses, and I've always had a thing for women with glasses. So, see, I'm honest.
PERRY: See, yeah. So, did you notice her high heels last night?
BAKER: Love those.
PERRY: 'Cause I think she was going all business upstairs and then she just went with the high heels for just a little "whoa, wow, hey" --
BAKER: She's always wearing some, ahem, pumps, if you catch my drift. And that's good. Why not?
PERRY: That's exactly what I called them this morning.
BAKER: Very -- you know what, but women do that.
PERRY: Yeah.
BAKER: I mean, come on. Why do women -- why do women have to turn it down? I think she shoulda had a ---
PERRY: I'm not saying she should have to.
BAKER: -- shoulda had a little cleavage going there.
PERRY: No, I just asked if you noticed --
BAKER: Distract Joe Biden a little bit.
PERRY: I didn't say she had to do anything. I just asked if you noticed.
BAKER: A little action. Show your stuff. You know what I'm saying? Use all your assets. Anyway, 65 -- by the way, I noticed a panty line on her.
PERRY: Did ya?
BAKER: Saw it, yeah, at the beginning of the debate when they turned --
PERRY: I truthfully did not look.
BAKER: -- when they turned to walk to the podium, I saw a panty line.
PERRY: OK.
JORDAN (producer): I have to ask, for all guys, what kind of panties?
PERRY: He didn't say he saw her panties.
JORDAN: No, but he saw the line, though. You can kind of tell from the line.
PERRY: You can?
JORDAN: You should be able to.
BAKER: Are you -- Jordan, it answers -- the statement itself answers the question.
JORDAN: OK.
BAKER: Panty line.
JORDAN: All right, never mind.
BAKER: 651-989-5855. Chris Baker radio show. By the way, I would say some of the shallowest political analysis you'll find anywhere on the airwaves -- but more real world. Tell me that people weren't looking at her and going, "Oh whoa."
PERRY: The wink was a -- that wink was as "come-hither" a wink as I've seen.
BAKER: You think?
PERRY: She did two winks. She did the wink early, which was, "Hey."
BAKER: But that's her.
PERRY: Well, I didn't say it wasn't her. I just said it was a "come-hither wink." I didn't say it wasn't her.

A local [Virginia] newspaper columnist, in a spoof of Obama's platform [The (Clarified) platform of Barack Hussein Obama], wrote in one recent piece that the Democrat would hire the rapper Ludacris to paint the White House black (a reference to a pro-Obama song by Ludacris), and divert more foreign aid to Africa so "the Obama family there can skim enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream." He joked that Obama would replace the 50 stars on the U.S. flag "with a star and crescent logo," an Islamic symbol, and that his policy on drugs would be to "raise taxes to pay for Obama's inner-city political base."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minneapolis radio station said Friday it would air public service announcements on HIV/AIDS after a pair of talk hosts accused former NBA star Magic Johnson of faking AIDS.
KTLK's Chris Baker and Langdon Perry made the remarks during Baker's conservative talk show on Wednesday. After Johnson condemned the statements, the station said on Friday it regretted "some off-hand remarks" by the pair.
According to a partial transcript and audio clip posted on a media watchdog site, mediamatters.org, the remarks came after a caller asserted that health care isn't a basic right. Perry responded by asking about treatable diseases that a person can live with for a long time "if you just get some basic drugs."
Baker responded, "Like Magic Johnson?"
Perry replied, "Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS."
Baker said, "You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?"
Perry replied, "I'm convinced that Magic faked AIDS."
"Me too," Baker said.
Johnson issued a statement Thursday saying he was "outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue."

All that happens is that these guys, who were not known outside of their local niche, are all of a sudden nationally known. Next thing you know, they are gonna move up to a larger market and probably be national. Make fun of them?? The jokes on you.

On the October 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bob Grant said: "[W]hat is that flag that Obama's been standing in front of that looks like an American flag, but instead of having the field of 50 stars representing the 50 states, there's a circle?" He then said: "Is the circle the 'O' for Obama? Is that what it is?" Grant later said: "[D]id you notice Obama is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars? He has the 'O' flag. And that's what that 'O' is. That's what that 'O' is. Just like he did with the plane he was using. He had the flag painted over, and the 'O' for Obama. Now, these are symptom -- these things are symptomatic of a person who would like to be a potentate -- a dictator." '
Grant did not further elaborate on what he meant by the " 'O' flag." However, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin stated on October 13 that she had "received several e-mails today from readers complaining about Barack Obama's backdrop in Toledo today. Apparently, some talk show hosts have also gone ballistic over what they think is an 'Obama flag.' " But, as Malkin noted, the flag appearing behind Obama during his October 13 speech was actually the Ohio state flag.

On the October 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bob Grant said: "[W]hat is that flag that Obama's been standing in front of that looks like an American flag, but instead of having the field of 50 stars representing the 50 states, there's a circle?" He then said: "Is the circle the 'O' for Obama? Is that what it is?" Grant later said: "[D]id you notice Obama is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars? He has the 'O' flag. And that's what that 'O' is. That's what that 'O' is. Just like he did with the plane he was using. He had the flag painted over, and the 'O' for Obama. Now, these are symptom -- these things are symptomatic of a person who would like to be a potentate -- a dictator." '
Grant did not further elaborate on what he meant by the " 'O' flag." However, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin stated on October 13 that she had "received several e-mails today from readers complaining about Barack Obama's backdrop in Toledo today.

I'm just now reading this...
So am I ... Being a born and bred Buckeye, I knew immediately what the flag represents. Too bad so many idiots will shut their brains down at Obama=Dictator ... that man just said it.

Memo To Palin: Fruit Fly Research Has Led To Advances In Understanding Autism»
This morning, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) gave her first policy speech urging the federal government to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), "a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation." In the speech, Palin cited the need to do more for children with disabilities such as autism:
Palin claimed that the amount that Congress spends on earmarks "is more than the shortfall to fully fund IDEA." She then ridiculed some of the projects "” such as "fruit fly research" "” saying they have little or no value:

This morning, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) gave her first policy speech urging the federal government to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), "a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation." In the speech, Palin cited the need to do more for children with disabilities such as autism:
For many parents of children with disabilities, the most valuable thing of all is information. Early identification of a cognitive or other disorder, especially autism, can make a life-changing difference.
Palin claimed that the amount that Congress spends on earmarks "is more than the shortfall to fully fund IDEA." She then ridiculed some of the projects "” such as "fruit fly research" "” saying they have little or no value:
- Where does a lot of that earmark money end up anyway? [...] You've heard about some of these pet projects they really don't make a whole lot of sense and sometimes these dollars go to projects that have little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not.
[S]cientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have shown that a protein called neurexin is required for..nerve cell connections to form and function correctly.
The discovery, made in Drosophila fruit flies may lead to advances in understanding autism spectrum disorders, as recently, human neurexins have been identified as a genetic risk factor for autism.

Palin did not specify what fruit fly research earmark she was referring to (presumably a grant for olive fruit fly research), but she is apparently unaware that scientific research with fruit flies has led to valuable discoveries that have boosted autism research, as a study at the University of North Carolina demonstrated last year:The study of fruit flies has also been used for other autism research and "revolutionize[d]" the study of birth defects.

i saw the so called "policy speech" and i remembered thinking that i heard somewhere fruit flies are good for research because they multiply so quickly and the genetic variation can be controlled (i have no clue where i heard this), no sooner than i had let my mind wander, then the newscaster introduced someone who talked about the connection between fruitflies and autism
i was ROTFLMBAO
it's so not encouraging that she is effing up EVERYDAY and allowances continue to be made for her...
This is what scares me most about Palin [and her ilk]. They take hold of the sound bite fed to them be folks with an anti-us [as defined by anti-Black, anti-middleclass, anti-working folk] agenda; but lack the intellectual chops to understand the implication of their policy stance.
These mofo's have lost their damned minds.
(CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO.) - Taking the stage as one of the pre-program speakers at a Sarah Palin rally here in Rush Limbaugh's hometown, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Missouri, fired up the crowd by warning them about Barack Obama's judicial philosophy.
"Just this past week, we saw what Barack Obama said about judges," Bond said. "He said, ˜I'm tired of these judges who want to follow what the Founding Fathers said and the Constitution. I want judges who have a heart, have an empathy for the teenage mom, the minority, the gay, the disabled. We want them to show empathy. We want them to show compassion.'"
Bond then seized on Obama's comments to Joe The Plumber, saying the Democrat wants to redistribute wealth.
"He thinks this country should be a government"”not a government of laws, but a government of compassion and empathy, not of laws," Bond said.

When asked about his perspective on social issues"”gay marriage, abortion"”Prince tapped his Bible and said, "God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ˜Enough.' "
I read that article and was like
My first thought was (because he was originally referring to Saddam and Gomorrah) ... Well, hell .. if He had come back just a few years ago ... wouldn't He had seen Prince doing the exact same thing??
That man used to jump on anything that didn't move out of his way fast enough!!
