According to Media Matters for America (http://mediamatters.org/items/200412230005). Personally, I think number nine is a little weak, but hey, post your own (complete with links, if you don't mind--Media Matters did it).

Rush Limbaugh on the Abu Ghraib photos: "I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of need to blow some steam off?"

Ann Coulter: "[Senator John] Kerry will improve the economy in the emergency services and body bag industry."

Tony Blankley called philanthropist George Soros "a Jew who figured out a way to survive the Holocaust."

Michael Savage: "When you hear 'human rights,' think gays. ... [T]hink only one thing: someone who wants to rape your son."

Oliver North: "Every terrorist out there is hoping John Kerry is the next president of the United States."

Pat Robertson on gays and lesbians: "[S]elf-absorbed hedonists ... that want to impose their particular sexuality on the rest of America."

Pat Buchanan: "[H]omosexuality is an affliction, like alcoholism."

Bill O'Reilly to Jewish caller: "[I]f you are really offended, you gotta go to Israel."

Bill Cunningham (Clear Channel radio host who appeared as a guest on The Sean Hannity Show): The election is over because "Elizabeth Edwards has now sung."

Jerry Falwell: "And we're going to invite PETA [to "wild game night"] as our special guest, P-E-T-A -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. We want you to come, we're going to give you a top seat there, so you can sit there and suffer. This is one of my special groups, another one's the ACLU, another is the NOW -- the National Order of Witches [sic]. We've got -- I've got a lot of special groups."
I mean, you could have put in Swaggart's gay bashing promise (I'd kill him and tell God he died) or Rummy's "you go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had" or pretty much anything said by the Swifties. So come up with your own.

And in the spirit of true bipartisanship (instead of the DeLay form), outrageous statements from all political persuasions are welcome in this thread.

Falwell: when asked what to do about muslims or something: "Blow them all away in the name of the Lord."

I've been saying this for a long time now... Jerry Falwell needs to get his head out of his ass.

"Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management." - Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know." -- Linda Ronstadt

"If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is President, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again." -- John Edwards, Oct 11, 2004

"The (Bush) administration works closely with a network of rapid response digital brownshirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for "undermining support for our troops." -- Al Gore

"First of all, it's not "Rock The Vote". It's "Make The Republicans Lose By Making Young People Listen To Only One Side Of The Political Spectrum, And Accomplishing That Goal By Using Celebrities Who Hate Republicans, Especially George W. Bush". Rock The Vote (and it's b@stard cousin "Choose Or Lose", which really means "Choose Kerry Or Lose") is all about one-sided arguments. Yeah, yeah, great, kids are getting involved in voting. But you shouldn't vote unless you make a reasoned, intelligent choice." -- Josh Cohen from D-42

"This guy in office is an uneducated, real lying schmuck . . . and we still couldn't beat him with a bore like Kerry." - Chevy Chase

We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo--if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote." - Cameron Diaz

"There's one other base here, the media. Let's talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win and I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox. They're going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there's going to be this glow about them, collective glow, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points." -- Newsweek Managing Editor Evan Thomas

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids. Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes." -- Teresa Heinz Kerry instructs volunteers packing donations for "hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean".

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." -- John Kerry

"(A)nyone who voluntarily goes to Afghanistan or Iraq (as a soldier) is fighting for an "an evil cause under an evil commander in chief." -- Ted Rall

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win." -- Michael Moore

"For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base. But we can't afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers.....In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the party doesn't need corporate cash to be competitive. Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back." -- MoveOn.org losers in an email to their members

"If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is President, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again." -- John Edwards, Oct 11, 2004

I wouldn't call this "outrageous". More dumbfounding.

My favorite quotes:

"I'm sick of talking about values, sick of pretending I have them or care more about them than I really do...When I want values, I go to Wal-Mart."---Michael Kinsley, in column titled "To Hell With Values" in the The Los Angelels Times

"I am now the chairman of a national campaign to pass a constitutional amendment to take the right to vote away from born-again Christians. [enthusiastic audience applause.] Just a little project of mine. My feeling is that born-again people are citizens of heaven, that is where their citizenship is [laughter] it's in heaven, it's not here among us in America."---Garrison Keillor, National Public Radio Host, Speech in Chicago after the Election, Quoted on WorldNetDaily.com

"[Osama Bin Laden]'s really a remarkable man, a great man in many ways... Tremendously formidable enemy...an admirable man. If he was on our side, he would be dining at the White House."---Michael Scheuer, Ex-CIA Agent once tasked with capturing Osama Bin Laden, on NBC's "Meet the Press"

And my personal Favorite from the Election:

"I actually voted for the 87 Billion before I voted against it"---John F. Kerry

The josh cowen quote was so very true....

According to Media Matters for America (http://mediamatters.org/items/200412230005). Personally, I think number nine is a little weak, but hey, post your own (complete with links, if you don't mind--Media Matters did it).

Yeah, and of course there were no outrageous left-wing comments worthy of the top 10. [/sarcasm]

What a crock
:rolleyes:

This is outrageous, but it is true.

Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back." -- MoveOn.org losers in an email to their members

This is true too. But both political sides cater to corporate donations. I'm beginning to think you didn't read all these quotes.

Left Wing Quotes! Only a few that I've found but I'm sure if I hunt around, I'm sure that I can find more.

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win." -- Michael Moore
Well, actually, that isn't a completely outrageous statement...I doubt they'll prevail in the end, but he did draw a viable analogy.

Yeah, and of course there were no outrageous left-wing comments worthy of the top 10. [/sarcasm]

What a crock
:rolleyes:
Why don't you go back and read my whole disclaimer before you roll your fucking eyes at me? Jesus Christ--do you manage to remember to breathe on your own?
