"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".

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)

Can somebody tell me

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.

Before discussing aide for the Philippines, Bush couldn't resist beginning the sober meeting with a quip about a Filipino member of his kitchen staff.

"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."

Brad Barrett's Iraq Paper
"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."
