Comment: Usually Democrats are a little more subtle about their socialist wishes. I guess as the country moves more and more into socialism, many on the left feel comfortable revealing their long-held intentions.

Comment: Are such inflamitory statements made to convey information, to demonize "the enemy", or to attract attention?

Paul Watson A Canadian animal rights and environmental activist, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. In 1969, he joined the Sierra Club to protest against nuclear testing. He became a member of Greenpeace, and later was a board member. When in 1977 he argued for a strategy of violence, he was ousted from the board and subsequently left the organization.

Comment: In Earthforce! An Earth Warrior’s Guide to Strategy, Watson expressed disdain for truthfulness in the pursuit of environmental protection goals. Said he, "The nature of the mass media today is such that the truth is irrelevant. What is true and what is right to the general public is what is defined as true and right by the mass media." Clearly telling the truth is a low priority for Mr. Watson. He published Earthforce!, in 1993, and in it, specifically endorsed the tactics of "monkeywrenching," including sabotage, covert activity, and direct action.

Quote "If, in fact, the GOP doesn't like any form of health care reform, what do we do with those 40 to 60 million uninsured? . . . When they show up in the emergency room, just shoot 'em! Kill them! . . . Do we have enough body bags? I don't know." [Also:] "So, Michele [Backmann], slit your wrist! Go ahead! I mean, you know, why not? I mean, if you want to — or, you know, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. I mean, start right at the collarbone."

Comment: For goodness sake, Montel, what have you been smoking? "It's a drug bust plot right out of Montel Williams' old daytime talk show. Except the ex-host has the starring role. The 54-year-old was caught red-handed with a pipe believed to be used for smoking pot at the General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee on Tuesday [January 4, 2011]. The pipe, which was in his carry-on bag, set off the metal detector as Williams passed through security. Sources [said] there was no residue in the pipe." Source of information.

Quote "[The election of Barack Obama is] one of the greatest experiences of, certainly my lifetime and it's been wonderful [. . .] I haven't seen this sense of unity since 9/11, really, really, and 9/11 was this tragic experience that brought us all together and now we're all brought together in the name of hope. Not since 9/11 have I experienced anything even kind of close to this."

Comment: Oprah thrills at how "we're all brought together in the name of hope." She seems completely oblivious to the fact that 47 percent of voting Americans voted for John McCain and have more sense than to buy into such meaningless platitudes as "hope" and "change".

Jeremiah Wright Pastor Emeritus of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Church membership is about 8,500. Barack Obama was a member for 20 years or so and apparently never found Wright's rantings objectionable.

Comment: While the U.S. has probably done more to combat racism than any other country in the world, whites continue to be beaten relentlessly -- by blacks and whites alike -- with the racism stick. Even electing a black president won't calm the waters. Whites, we're told, are fundamentally, biologically racist, and will forever be guilty of this sin.

Quote "So what [if banning DDT results in millions of deaths from malaria in Sri Lankan babies]? People are the cause of all the problems. We have too many of them We need to get rid of some of them, and this is as good a way as any."

As quoted in "Is the DDT Ban Intended to Control Global Population?," by Paul K Driessen, Environment and Climate News, April 2001. Source: "My Conversation with Christopher C. Horner," by Rush Limbaugh, The Limbaugh Letter, January 2010, page 8. See also "Political Quotes." See also Merrie's comment here. Posted here: February 22, 2010. Quotes Homepage. Website Homepage.

Comment: So, we are left with the thought that perhaps some of the more impassioned liberals agree with implementing policies designed to "get rid of some" people. Then the question arises: is it people in general, or just certain people, like those lliving in Third World countries? But we see the same attitude in Obama's health-care policies which provide for reduced care for the elderly.
