Dumbest Right-Wing Quotes of 2010
Dumbest Right-Wing Quotes of 2010

"So that's what we want is a secure and sovereign nation and, you know, I don't know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don't know that. What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I'm evidence of that. I've been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly." —Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle, speaking to a group of Hispanic high school students

"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?" —Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, questioning whether the Constitution calls for separation of church and state during a debate before an audience of legal scholars and law students at Widener University Law School

"I didn't really had a good answer, as so often — is me." —Sarah Palin, on writing notes on her hand during her Tea Party convention speech

4. What was worse than that was the tea dopes that came out of the woodwork and said "She's right".
It was so funny and pathetic reading these trolls on Facebook.

No, she's NOT right. AT all.

5. They focus on the actual words rather than the meaning...
The words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the First Amendment. However, it was Jefferson who made the comment about "a wall of separation between church and state," though some so-called conservatives claim it was Hitler.

6. The quotes by Angle and O'Donnell are the primary reasons I contributed to
their opponents.
We have too many idiots in congress now, and will have way too many starting in January, but these two are standouts in the field of idiocy.

7. Where do they find these people?
"Do you know, where does this phrase 'separation of church and state' come from? It was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. ... The exact phrase 'separation of Church and State' came out of Adolph Hitler's mouth, that's where it comes from. So the next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State ask them why they're Nazis." --Glen Urquhart, the Tea Party-backed Republican nominee for the Delaware House seat held by Rep. Mike Castle

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better." --South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer (R), arguing that government food assistance to lower-income residents, including food stamps or free school lunches, encourages a culture of dependence
