The Right-Wing Nutjob Quote-O-Matic again!
Found an old post on this from March 2010, but I couldn't reply... so I'm posting this link again because, darnit, the quotes are just too darn illuminating:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/bl-right-wing-quotes.htm

I'm thinking about compiling a bunch and sending a bulk email to all my conservative family members...

Here are some samples:


"I could give a flying crap about the political process ... We're an entertainment company."
—FOX News Channel's Glen Beck, Forbes interview; April, 2010


"This was a war of Obama's choosing. This is not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in."
—Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, rewriting history while speaking at a Connecticut fundraiser about the war in Afghanistan, which President Bush launched following the 9/11 terrorist attacks (July 2, 2010)


"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?"
—Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010


"Guess what? Faisal Shahzad is a registered Democrat. I wonder if his SUV had an Obama sticker on it."
—Rush Limbaugh, lying about the failed Times Square car bomber, who is not registered to vote, May 4, 2010


"It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: 'Sit down and shut up,' but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out."
—Sarah Palin, quitting her job as governor, July 3, 2009


"When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh shut up' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining."
—Glenn Beck, Sept. 9, 2005

1. everyone has more than one face
It is interesting that for anyone in the public sphere, it becomes possible to point out their inconsistencies. I don't know that those in positions of power are that much more inconsistent than anyone else, but the effects become so much larger. It really should be that people are required to meet a higher standard to stay in positions of influence.

3. Not so much inconsistencies as sheer stupidity or mendacity

4. I have one face ...
and one ass with two sides ...

These quotes are plainly contradictory, either to reality or GOP philosophy ...
