Conservative talk radio is a waste…of time

Louise Slaughter — Thu, 31 May 2007 15:25:51 +0000

â€œ[Conservative talk radio is] a waste of good broadcast time, and a waste of our airwaves.â€

Republican leaders are ‘maniacs’

Alec Baldwin — Wed, 09 May 2007 12:25:19 +0000

“Most Republicans who are registered Republicans are decent, honest good people who you have a difference of opinion with. The leadership of the Republican Party are a bunch of sociopathic maniacs who have their lips super-glued to the ass of the conservative right.”

So much for professionalism

Mary Mapes — Wed, 09 May 2007 12:10:03 +0000

“I don’t need to be lectured on ethics from a much-married, obese, drug addict [Rush Limbaugh].”

We tried to get all conservatives off the air

Bill Ruder — Mon, 07 May 2007 17:37:57 +0000

“We had a massive strategy to use the ‘fairness doctrine’ to challenge and harass the right-wing broadcasters and hoped the challenge would be so costly to them that they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue.”

Christian conservatives are vengeful.

Maureen Dowd — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 16:29:57 +0000

“[Christian conservatives are like] a vengeful mob — revved up by rectitude — running around with torches and hatchets after heathens and pagans and infidels.”

We need more Marxists.

Grover Furr — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:07:10 +0000

“What [American universities] need, and would much benefit from, is more Marxists, radicals, leftists — all terms conventionally applied to those who fight against exploitation, racism, sexism, and capitalism. We can never have too many of these, just as we can never have too few ‘conservatives’.”

Colleges won’t hire conservatives.

Gerry Erchak — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:12:49 +0000

“In the hiring process you’d probably be wise not to mention your political views. If you say, ‘Oh, hey, I really think Reagan was great,’ or, ‘I’m a Bush guy,’ I can’t say a person wouldn’t be hired, but it’s like your pants falling down. It’s just horrible. It’s like you cut a big fart. I just don’t think you’ll be called back.”

Conservatives are mean haters.

Bill Schneider — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 21:55:47 +0000

“[Jack Kemp] is a rare combination — a nice conservative. These days, conservatives are supposed to be mean. They’re supposed to be haters.”

Jesse Jackson — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:11:19 +0000

“If what was happening here [in the U.S.] was happening in South Africa, it’d be called racist apartheid. If it was happening in Germany, we’d call it Nazism. And in Italy, we’d call it fascism. Here we call it conservatism.”

Reaching the ‘global village’.

Hillary Clinton — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 15:37:29 +0000

“Extremists [those who insist on clinging to our Founding Fathers' vision of America] fail to provide a viable pathway from the cold war to the global village.”
