This site has some interesting and downright funny qoutes.

http://www.targetofopportunity.com/quotes.htm
There are quite a few, for the most part they check out when I looked against other sources.


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

-- Hillary Clinton, June 2004

"For government to give, it must first take away."
-- Rush Limbaugh


"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."
-- Janet Reno


"A sword is never a killer, it's a tool in the killer's hands."
-- Lucius Annaeus Seneca "the Younger" (ca. 4 BC-65 AD)

"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
-- Sarah Brady of Handgun Control, Inc.
(Note: http://www.hkweaponsystems.com/cgi-bin/quote.pl?_disputed )

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny and all like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
-- Mariah Carey

ROFL at the Mariah Carey quote. That's so fucking awful, yet completely hilarious.

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

One of the best quotes ever.

Is this about guns again? Man, the op REALLY SUCKS. Half of the quotes are superfluous for the goal and not at all "funny", half are either taken out of context or slander (that "socialism" one is supposed to be - I doubt the person supposed to have said it ever did; and, yes, I would see nothing wrong with it if it were true).

Nah, this one wasn't ment to be on guns.

Tell you what, sence some of the qoutes I posted turned out false I will send this over to moderation to be deleted. My mistake for posting a few without checking on them first. (Turned out the Carey and Rush ones were inacurate)

The Clinton one is accurate, but way the hell out of context.

Well, it's over in moderation. I appologize once again for the inaccuracies in this thread.

Don't sweat it--you could have just edited them out instead of getting the mods involved.

By and large, many snippets and quotes are way the hell out of context. The helpful thing, I've found, is to merely fabricate your own spin and context in which to fit them in.
