Sweltering with the heat of WIN. Congratulations, your turn,

"I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot."

Coulter.

Coulter.

Yeah. I like the Mitt Romney quote afterwards...something along the lines of, "I'm looking forward to speaking with Coulter. We need to hear the voice of the moderates", or something along those lines. Classic stuff.

"Niemand hat die absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten..."

"Niemand hat die absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten..."

Hitler.

If I am correct, here's mine:
...when i say "Es vir nine por rarche?", you say,"Ver nuzen ous usen aus hraten!" (phonetically spelled German)

"Niemand hat die absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten..."
German... uh... Walter Ulbrich? (sp)

Winner. Walter Ulbricht said it in 1961 shortly before the Berlin wall was built.

"No one has the intention of building a wall".

Cheaters like me use Google and Wikiquote.

I have a hard one:

Never before in the history of this country has there been witnessed such a contest as that through which we have passed. Never before in the history of American politics has a great issue been fought out as this issue has been by the voters themselves.

A bonus point to whoever can guess what the speaker is referring too.

Nikolai Kruschev, though I'm probably spelling his name incorrectly.

It's either him or Gorbachav. I occasionally mix them up.

Oh, no, that was a translation of Ulbricht's words.

But here's a good Soviet one:

"Stalin acted not through persuasion, explanation, and patient cooperation with people, but by imposing his concepts and demanding absolute submission to his opinion. Whoever opposed this concept or tried to prove his viewpoint, and the correctness of his position, was doomed to removal from the leading collective and to subsequent moral and physical annihilation"

Nikita Khrushchev's "Secret Speech"?

I'll give you a hard one!

THEY INSULT THE CHILDREN
WHO ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED ON THE PINE STREET PLAYGROUND
BECAUSE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN FIRED A GUN THERE.
THEY INSULT THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
SONS AND DAUGHTERS, OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE
ADDICTED TO THE DRUGS SOLD BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Bet you'll have to cheat to get that one..

I'll give you a hard one!

Floor s'mores and seven beers ago...

Me... when i'm drunk and trying to impersonate Abraham Lincoln.

Now, my turn(a really really hard one):


And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.


Try that one!
