necrominion Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I came across this site and its just weird how some of our public figures think. Funny how most of these people can freely spew this kind of hatred in our country yet they would easily take away the rights of millions of American citizens in a heartbeat if given enough power... http://www.reandev.com/taliban/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lav-chan Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The world is a terrible place alright. I like to take comfort in my theory that Ann Coulter is just a professional troll -- she doesn't say that stuff because she actually believes it, she says it because it gets her attention. ... That's my (hopeful) theory, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Farwell, Coulter, Buchanan and Robertson quotes come to mind) Some however seem downright out of character. The quotation from Bush Sr. for instance, I'm not saying he didn't say it, just that it wouldn't be something I would expect to hear him say.

George Bush Snr., in follow-up: I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on Atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-Flex Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 True, some quotes could be taken out of context, or twisted, but that can't be an excuse for everything. Outrageous is the word I'd use to describe some of those sentiments, mostly from some of those nutty evangalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotix Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Here a few more that didn't make their list. I thought about compiling a large list of them all not all that long ago for my site but it's not at the top of my list of priorities right now: Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." Pat Robertson: "When you get through, you say, 'If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer,' and you say, 'We've got to blow that thing up.' I mean, is it as bad as you say?" -on blowing up the U.S. Department of State with an atomic bomb. From the couple of accounts I've read, they claimed it was never said that in the book of the man he was interviewing. "Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up like Newt Gingrich wants to do." Jerry Falwell: "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" -he later apologized for blaming them for the September 11th attacks. Good thing too, because it wasn't like they were in charge of the nation's security. And we can't forget Dobson's gay obsession with Spongebob Squarepants video and Jerry Falwell's gay obsession with Tinky Winky, the Teletubby and their creators.

b mitchell Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The most recent one is probably from Brit Hume: "My first thought when I heard - just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, 'Hmmm, time to buy.'" - Fox News's Brit Hume, 7/7/05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox's John Gibson: By the way, just wanted to tell you people, we missed -- the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity today. If they had picked France, if they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares? Fox News contributing correspondent Simon Marks distinguished between Arabs and "regular" Londoners, in reporting on the scope of the attacks... Simon Marks: It [Edgeware Road] is an area that has a very large Arab population. Surrounding that station, a large number of Middle Eastern restaurants. So, it's a further indication, if in fact these attacks were carried out by Al Qaeda-affiliated cells, that these people are, if necessary, prepared to spill Arab blood in addition to the blood of regular -- of non-Arab people living in London. http://mediamatters.org/items/200507080005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
