from Salon's Daou Report:
“The only real drag on the economy is the picture the press paints."
Brothers Judd
“We’ve got homegrown enemies in our midst, enemies who call themselves Americans. (Remember when traitors were executed?)” La Shawn Barber, referring to a Fox News story about two American citizens facing terrorism charges. (Uh, La Shawn, they haven’t even been tried yet.)
"One thing that really came to me as I was reading [David McCullough’s 1776] is how lucky we were not to have the same type of anti-American / anti-military media back then that we have today or there would have been no way in hell the Americans could have ever prevailed over the British." Hedgehog Report
“We go to war reluctantly, because we understand the high cost of war." George W. Bush, Memorial Day Radio Address
Not all the "And they call us barking moonbats" material comes from Salon. Some of it comes from Wonkette, like this gem:
"[Nixon's enemies caused t]he assumption of power in Cambodia by the bloodiest government of all time, the Khmer Rouge, who killed a third of their own people, often by making children beat their own parents to death. No one doubts RN would never have let this happen.
"So, this is the great boast of the enemies of Richard Nixon, including Mark Felt: they made the conditions necessary for the Cambodian genocide. If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is such a thing as justice in this life of the next, Mark Felt has bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth. And Bob Woodward is right behind him, with Ben Bradlee bringing up the rear. Out of their smug arrogance and contempt, they hatched the worst nightmare imaginable: genocide. I hope they are happy now -- because their future looks pretty bleak to me."
Ben Stein, American Spectator
Those born late might want to consult books like William Shawcross' Sideshow, which documents how Nixon's expansion of the war into Cambodia created the conditions that Stein wants to kill the messenger for.
