I'd like to add one thought here for the sake of honesty - please only include quotes that have a legitimate reference, and include a website or YouTube video to support yourself. We don't want to encourage hearsay.

Here are some more recent quotes.


House Representative John Murtha on the alleged Haditha killings, MSNBC interview with Chris Matthews May 2006:

"they went into houses and killed women and children."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo-lyc4tcsM

The soldiers involved were eventually cleared of all charges. Murtha never apologized.



Harry Reid, press conference Oct 24 2007:

"one of the reasons we have the fires burning in southern California is global warming."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Iy3gTjNrKM


Barack Obama on Marijuana, Chris Matthews November 2006:

"When I was a kid, I inhaled frequently. That was the point."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBzQI_7ez8



Nancy Pelosi on Clarence Thomas's biography, The View October 2007:

"I think the book is a revisionist book, but I haven't read it yet."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCBQYXdJUCA



Chuck Rangel on DNC Pork Barrel Spending, Meet the Press April 2007:

Tim Russert: In that bill was 20 billion dollars of so-called pork....why would the Democrats put that kind of money in a serious bill?

Chuck Rangel: Because they needed the votes.

Here's a few:

---- November 2005 Rep. Jack Murtha (D) "There was no firefight. There was no IED (improvised explosive device) that killed those innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them. And they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. That is what the report is going to tell."
---- May 2004 Rep. John Murtha, (D) the problems in Iraq are due to a "lack of planning" by
Pentagon chiefs and "the direction has got be changed or it is unwinnable."
----August 2007, Barack Obama (D) "We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."
---- April 19,2007 Harry Reid (D)
"I believe ... that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is
shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week,"  
---- Dec. 6, 2005 John Kerry (D)
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."
---- April 22, 1971, John Kerry
"I would like to say for the record, and also for the men behind me who are also wearing
the uniforms and their medals, that my sitting here is really symbolic. I am not here as
John Kerry. I am here as one member of the group of veterans in this country, and were it
possible for all of them to sit at this table they would be here and have the same kind of
testimony.
Winter soldier Investigation
I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in
Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly
decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated
incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at
all levels of command.
It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit, the emotions in the
room, the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam, but they did.
They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.
They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, tape
wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs,
blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of
Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the
country side of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and
very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.
We call this investigation the "Winter Soldier Investigation." The term "Winter Soldier" is
a play on words of Thomas Paine in 1776 when he spoke of the Sunshine Patriot and summertime
soldiers who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough.
We who have come here to Washington have come here because we feel we have to be winter
soldiers now. We could come back to this country; we could be quiet; we could hold our
silence; we could not tell what went on in Vietnam, but we feel because of what threatens
this country, the fact that the crimes threaten it, no reds, and not redcoats but the crimes
which we are committing that threaten it, that we have to speak out.
Feelings of Men Coming Back from Vietnam
I would like to talk to you a little bit about what the result is of the feelings these men
carry with them after coming back from Vietnam. The country doesn't know it yet, but it has
created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and
to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in
history; men who have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one
has yet grasped.
As a veteran and one who feels this anger, I would like to talk about it. We are angry
because we feel we have been used in the worst fashion by the administration of this
country.
In 1970 at West Point, Vice President Agnew said "some glamorize the criminal misfits of
society while our best men die in Asian rice paddies to preserve the freedom which most of
those misfits abuse" and this was used as a rallying point for our effort in Vietnam.
But for us, as boys in Asia, whom the country was supposed to support, his statement is a
terrible distortion from which we can only draw a very deep sense of revulsion. Hence the
anger of some of the men who are here in Washington today. It is a distortion because we in
no way consider ourselves the best men of this country, because those he calls misfits were
standing up for us in a way that nobody else in this country dated to, because so many who
have died would have returned to this country to join the misfits in their efforts to ask
for an immediate withdrawal from South Vietnam, because so many of those best men have
returned as quadriplegics and amputees, and they lie forgotten in Veterans' Administration
hospitals in this country which fly the flag which so many have chosen as their own personal
symbol. And we can not consider ourselves America's best men when we are ashamed of and
hated what we were called on to do in Southeast Asia.
In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam, nothing which
could happen that realistically threatens the United States of America. And to attempt to
justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos by linking such loss to
the preservation of freedom, which those misfits supposedly abuse, is to use the height of
criminal hypocrisy, and it is that kind of hypocrisy which we feel has torn this country
apart."

I will be looking for some of the more seditious comments made by those on the left. I need to demonstrate that the Democrats are not worthy of winning the White House. They have put their politics and personal agendas, along with their careers ahead of the good of the country and the security of its citizens. And in the process, putting the lives of our soldiers in harms way.

I have a short list of my own I will make available in due time.

Oh my, how could I have forgotten:

June 14, 2005 - Sen. Dick Durbin (d) "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

Oh and how did Durbin respond to the outrage sparked by his asinine remark?

Durbin said that Conservative activists "are extremely well organized, and, inevitably, they drag the mainstream media behind them."

Yes, Dick Durbin feels that the mainstream media is Conservative, and led by the nose by Conservative activists.

I wonder if this might not be true through the looking glass on the Bizarro-World on which Durbin lives.
So, aside from being a total a-hole, Durbin has apparently lost all contact with reality - like most Leftists.

Don't be mean to the terrorists... or support AG Nominee Mukaskey


"I remain very concerned that Judge Mukasey finds himself unable to state unequivocally that waterboarding is illegal and below the standards and values of the United States," Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in a statement.

"I am disappointed by Judge Mukasey’s response," added Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., a presidential candidate. "He was asked a direct question on the specifics of waterboarding and he refused to unequivocally state that this practice is torture. For this reason, I shall oppose his nomination to be the United States Attorney General. Waterboarding is by any standard, torture."

Other Democratic presidential candidates who are U.S. senators — Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd — have all said they would oppose Mukasey.

And squishy GPOers?

Asked about how important it is for Mukasey to equate waterboarding with torture, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said: "Absolutely it's critical. He plays a pivotal role. ... I don't see why he couldn't answer the question more straight forwardly." She added that waterboarding is torture.

Maybe all Congressmen should be waterboarded. After all, our own military members carrying sensitive data are subjected to it. This is logic that's being tortured!

Guess Who?

"We're going to change the way Washington works. And I've laid out very specific plans about how to do that. I'm going to take $10 billion away from a lot of these industries"

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few..... And to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."

"(We) ....can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

"We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to giveup a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."

"I certainly think the free-market has failed."

"I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in (the) entire economy that they are being watched."

Pick me! Pick me! Hillary Clinton (aka Hitlery) said all those things!


Julian Bond, Chairman of the NAAC, Feb 2001:

"Bush selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics."

http://www.nationalreview.com/daily/nr022601.shtml


Democratic Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, radio interview, 1983:

"Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in."

Ding. Ding. Ding.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner.

Hillarity Clinton is the correct answer.



Also.  HOLY CRAP!

That Hoagland quote is bone-chilling.  I'd never heard that one before.  Unbelievable!
