Saunders Crushes on Clinton

George Saunders — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:19:15 +0000

Being Muslim is Grand

Bob Kerrey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:02:10 +0000

“I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim…There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.”

Bush Worse Than Facist Dictators

Peter Mehlman — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:12:29 +0000

“You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought [they] were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc….Bush set a new precedent. He came into office with the attitude of ‘I’m so tired of the public good. What about my good? What about my rich friends’ good?’”

White males are the problem.

Robin Morgan — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 19:22:43 +0000

“White males are most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.”

Men should not exist.

Valerie Solanas — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 13:10:30 +0000

“It is now technically possible to reproduce without the aid of males . . . and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. The male is a biological accident. . . . The male has made the world a sh**pile.”

I long to murder a white male.

bell hooks — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 22:11:34 +0000
