  • "It may be a blessing in disguise. ... Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. Haitians were originally under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other."

    Pat Robertson, on the earthquake in Haiti that destroyed the capital and killed tens of thousands of people, Jan. 13, 2010

  • "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

    Rumsfeld on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

    Well shit, don, that narrows it down.

  • Is it even fair to post Pat Roberts and Glenn Beck?

    I mean, at least the didn't accidentally say 57 instead of 47

  • yeah. I can't wait to post about Obamao referring to his "Muslim faith"

    Oops. You know who I meant

  • "I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully"

    -W.

  • "They misunderestimated me"

  • Cutting back on foreign aid is one thing. Being reimbursed by nations that we have liberated is another, We should look to Iraq, and Libya, to reimburse us for part of what we have done to liberate these nations.

    Michele Bachmann.

    Can you imagine? Going to Iraq and charging them money for what we did there.

  • Didn't she quit recently?

    Oh Nvm. She just isn't running again.

    Oh hope its to set up for a presidential bid. Her and Palin

    Exactly what is wrong with what we did there? Got rid of a dictator. Got rid of the sanctions. Modernized their army and killed a lot of bad guys.

  • Right. Killed a lot of people. It's convenient for you to think of them as all "bad guys" but that's not quite the truth is it? Killed a lot of regular guys too. Destroyed the infrastructure. Left them in terror of religious fanaticism and chaos. Hey you fuckers owe us big time for this.

  • We know there was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that was an evil and it was scourge and a blot and a stain upon our history. But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.

    Michele Bachmann.

    Except that they didn't. It was like 100 years later.even the youngest founder was dead.

    Big miscalculation on US intelligence behalf not recognizing that once Sadaam was out of the picture in Iraq the sectarian violence escalation

    was going to be off the charts. Shia, Sunni, Kurds took advantage of power vacuum to settle some long simmering scores. Could be the tunnel

    vision created by the singular priority of capturing OBL clouded the big picture and as you say left Iraq in a giant shitstorm.

    Liberation came with wall to wall chaos rather than the proliferation of equal rights.

  • I'm surprised some of our conservative fellows haven't come here to defend some of these quotes. Some, like bush, are simple but hilarious mistakes. Most are wild eyed craziness and I know some of the guys here don't disagree with them.

    give me a couple that concern you mostly. Non mistakes actually.

    I'll give you one defense in particular: Rand Paul saying that we need to pay more for health care. Yes we do. We are insulated from the actual costs by a bloated system of insurance Medicare and Medicaid, we have no idea what services we are consuming nor what they actually cost.

    which other quotes bother you the most?

    WSS

  • Says you, Steve. I pay 288 every two weeks for health insurance. I'll have Rand Paul's bloody head up on a pike guarding the bridge before I pay a cent more.

  • How about Glen Beck's assertion that Barry is a white-hating racist. Some people here have quasi made that claim before. Anyone want to tackle it now?

  • I'm not talking about health insurance I'm talking about paying for actual health services which we don't do. There have been about a million studies talking about the inconsistencies about what you pay for insurance and what actual services are delivered. And I pay $750 a month.and I get no prescription Dental or vision.

  • Well since you're self employed you're paying it all. And you've got a jake-ass busted plan.
