Liberals Say the Darndest Things!

Thanks for the article. Seems like only Republicans get bashed on the media, it's about time to show that both sides are anything but perfect. Anyone with half a brain or more would see that neither party exists as they originated to exist, now both parties are just two sides of the same coin. Our country is run and powered by lobby money and the international development banks. Both sides are tapping Social Security, both sides supported NAFTA and other great ideas to ship american jobs out of the country and unemploy the american worker, and both sides are eroding the constitution at every corner they can get a piece of. If you still believe there is a difference, you're caught up in the rhetoric and the lies they think you want to hear. Once in office the campaign meant nothing.

>>The quote from Attorney General Janet Reno has been proven completely and totally false.>> I see no place proving, or trying to prove it false. The source is the Associated Press, 1993. It's not like a big secret anyway, that is simply modern liberal philosophy and a statement most liberals agree with. But hey, if you don't like that one, maybe you'll like this one: "The only way to control handgun use in this country is to prohibit the guns." -President Bill Clinton while signing the Brady Bill 1993″

The quote from Attorney General Janet Reno has been proven completely and totally false. Also, no reputable source has ever quoted that, so you clearly accept (incorrect) facts from random websites, which makes ALL these quotes highly suspect.

How about equal time for the darnest things conservatives say. One everyday person just proclaimed: I am a conservative. I do not like change. Life is good as it is. Of course this person typed on a computer on the Internet at a website that did not exist two years ago. (You Tube)I do not know if Ben Franklin was considered liberal or conservative, but said: "The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either." and I do believe Republicans are anti-liberals and the majority voted to restrict freedom via the Patriot Act. A conservative quote, loosely "it would be easier if this were a dictatorship and I was the dictator" and "I know how hard it is to put food on your family".

Well, there are indeed some out of context, and some incomplete...and yes, some I agree with..for example, I do hope that humanism will emerge triumphant, that the needs of society will be considered, and that social thinking can trump overt nationalism...dare to dream, eh? And for the record, it doesn't say much for your effort when you have to cover decades to get quotes you consider bad..a person could round up enough bushims to make a case for impeachment in no time at all..

Okay, some of these quotes were pretty scary! Excellent article!

You gotta chuckle at chuckleheads like those. Thanks for compiling those, OH.

Oliver... excellent article. I actually gasped a couple of times, like Clinton's quote about criticizing the federal gov't. I guess he meant, while he was running it. Hah! I look forward to more of your good works. As far as Agaric's comment that both parties have such quotes, doubtful. If Bush even mispronounces a word it is all over the liberal media, as their "proof" that he is an idiot. If a Republican said anything close to any of this he or she would be railroaded out of office.

You probably could have written a nonpartisan article containing lip fuck-ups from both parties and entitled it "most politicians are retards."

Oliver, I love this piece of fine journalism. The other day I was looking into writing some work for an interested party and they informed me that they wanted print that was politically correct. I asked them what constituted politically correct and they told me that would be determined by popular diction. Damn now doesn't that sound like about the same thing as whichever lie is favored will rule theory? To bad that truth has become an arbitrary in todays politically correct oriented society. That's why I like GWB. He truly does not care if he is or not. That may explain his lack of fame & popularity. Anyway...Very Nice Write!
