2008 – Idiot Liberal Quotes of the Year

1.  Idiot Dictator Quote of the year:

Naomi Cambell interviews Hugo Chavez

Elsewhere, Chavez found time to defend Venezuela’s human rights record and vaunt his country’s oil reserves, but also gave his views on less weighty matters like fashion, pop music and the British royal family.

Cuba’s Fidel Castro was the world’s most stylish leader, he said (“His uniform is impeccable. His boots are polished. His beard is elegant”), he was aware of the newly-reformed Spice Girls and admired Britain’s Prince Charles.

He also refused to rule out following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s example and posing for topless photographs. “Why not? Touch my muscles,” he reportedly told the supermodel.

2.  Hillary Doozy of the Year

ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton, in an interview with ABC News’ Cynthia McFadden for ABC News’ Nightline, was asked about President Clinton’s controversial comments about race and Senator Obama  in the past weeks. Clinton apologized for her husband.

“I think whatever he said which was certainly never intended to cause any kind of offense to anyone,” Clinton said, “if it did give offenses then I take responsibility and I’m sorry about that.”

“Can you control him?” asked McFadden.

“Oh of course,” Clinton replied.

3.  The “Reach Out to the Other Side” Quote of 2008

I Hate Republicans:

I hate the Republican Party and everything it stands for, including, but not limited to, its interest in denying women reproductive health rights, denying children the right to legally recognized two parent homes if their parents are gay, and their not-so-subtle “be afraid of anyone who isn’t pasty white” message.

But I’ve learned to HATE with a passion that I never knew prior to the November 2000 Election, and I will *never* forget it.

Republicans are Evil, and I hate them.

4.  The “I Just Hate People Except for My Six Children” Quote of 2008 – With an Added Bonus Globaloney Warming Kicker

TED TURNER: Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hottest in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state — like Somalia or Sudan — and living conditions will be intolerable. The droughts will be so bad there’ll be no more corn grown. Not doing it is suicide. Just like dropping bombs on each other, nuclear weapons is suicide. We’ve got to stop doing the suicidal two things, which are hanging on to our nuclear weapons and after that we’ve got to stabilize the population. When I was born-

CHARLIE ROSE: So what’s wrong with the population?

TURNER: We’re too many people. That’s why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff. If there were less people, they’d be using less stuff.

5.  “All My Liberal Friends Say I’m Completely Unbiased” Award

ABC Media Hack shills now for Obama

“I do like McCain and the people around him, and I consider him still to be a friend. But I have fundamental differences with John McCain on the issues and always have. I don’t have any problem criticizing John McCain….It was no secret to the reporters around me that I have Democratic-leaning views. But they said I was always fair.”
— Former ABC and CBS reporter Linda Douglass, now a spokeswoman for Barack Obama, as quoted by the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz in a June 16 profile.

6.  Media Twit of the Year

CBS News journalist Richard Butler said he believes he was kidnapped in Iraq by policemen with sympathies toward the Hezbollah but isn’t entirely sure who held him captive for two months or why.

Butler, a British journalist kidnapped with his interpreter on Feb. 10, was rescued by Iraqi troops on April 14 when he was found with a sack over his head in a house in Basra.

Butler said he felt it was better to be kidnapped in Iraq then taken into custody by Americans in Afghanistan.

“I was pleased I wasn’t being mortarboarded in Guantanamo or being held for six and a half years like an Al-Jazeera cameraman, for instance,” he said.

Bill – Off to Kashmir

Does anybody really think that ex-President Pantsdown will be satisfied with chasing cooter in Kashmir?

[BO] …but, for us to devote serious diplomatic resources to get a special envoy in there, to figure out a plausible approach, and essentially make the argument to the Indians, you guys are on the brink of being an economic superpower, why do you want to keep on messing with this? To make the argument to the Pakistanis, look at India and what they are doing, why do you want to keep n being bogged down with this particularly at a time where the biggest threat now is coming from the Afghan boarder? I think there is a moment where potentially we could get their attention. It won’t be easy, but it’s important.

[Q] Sounds like a job for Bill Clinton.

[BO] Might not be bad. I actually talked to Bill, I talked to President Clinton about this when we had lunch in Harlem.

Which leads me to these questions:

1.  Bill still has that office down in Harlem?  Just how many days a year do you think he spends there?  and what is it costing the taxpayers of the United States to maintain it and staff it and pay for the sexual harassment suits?

2.  Just how far is Hillary willing to ship her priapretic excuse of a husband in order to grovel to the Obamamessiah?  India and Afganistan don’t seem to be out of bounds.

3.  Does anybody really think Obama is going to hang the millstone of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State around his neck?  I think he’s just playing with them.

Top 10 Reasons We Will Miss Hillary

From Frank J at IMAO:

TOP TEN THINGS WE’LL MISS ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON

10. That special way our soul aches every time we see her.

9. The way her laugh rid the neighborhood of stray cats.

8. How her smile melts steel.

7. When she said she’d obliterate a country, you knew she meant it.

6. How, despite all the trouble he’s caused, she’s spared the life of her husband because she still loves him.

5. The way she referred to babies as “fresh souls” as if she were talking about produce.

4. How in her debates with Obama, you could see in her eyes that she was truly plotting to kill him.

3. When she went to YearlyKos, the Kos Kids would scatter and hide under furniture like cockroaches.

2. How she’d fight for universal healthcare despite the fact that you knew in her heart she wouldn’t care if we all died.

And the number one thing we’ll miss about Hillary Clinton…

It was nice to know there was at least one Democrat out there with balls.

Tax Me More – Version 1040

Bravo to Congressman Campbell:

California Republican John Campbell yesterday introduced in the House his “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Act,” which would amend the tax code to allow individuals to make voluntary donations to the federal government above their normal tax liability. The bill would place a new line on IRS tax forms to make this easy.

Mr. Campbell says he has heard the “cries” of those wealthy Americans – Mrs. Clinton, Warren Buffett, Barbra Streisand – who reject the lower tax rates passed in 2001 and 2003 and complain that they and their fellow rich don’t pay enough. “It’s a great injustice that citizens wishing to fulfill their dream of paying more taxes cannot simply check a box on their 1040 form to make a donation,” he says. His bill would give liberals a chance to salve their consciences without having to raise taxes on millions of Americans who already feel overtaxed as it is.

My simple predictions:

1.  The Democrats will never let this bill see any light of day.  it will be holed up in some House subcommittee undergoing “review” till this Congress is history.  It would be a most dangerous thing for Democrats to actually give people the freedom to make their own choices – especially about how much of their hard earned money goes to the government.  Allowing people to choose this essential hold over their lives would absolutely destroy the whole premise of what the Democrats stand for.  They are about controlling people – not giving them choice.

2.  Why is Warren Buffett giving most of his money to Bill Gates’s charity instead of just handing it over to the government?  He wants rich people to pay more in taxes – why is he not giving the earnings of his lifetime to some twits who would spend in all in less than a month?

3.  As a thought experiment – just how much money would actually come in if this box were on the 1040 form making it extremely simple to allow good progressives to put their money where their considerable mouths are?  The Treasury got about $2.9 million in contributions last year.  The US governnment is scheduled to spend $3 trillion dollars in FY2008.  My calculations show that as spending $5,707,762 a minute.  Yes, every minute of every day of every week of every month of the whole year.  So that lousy three million in contributions would only fund the government for 30 seconds odd.    Do you think they would get enough in “contributions” to fund 2 minutes?  I certainly don’t think they would.  Maybe, just maybe they might get enough for 1 minute.

4.  And don’t forget – you are not paying enough in taxes.  The Obamamessiah says so.  The Hildebeast says so.  The Great and Wonderous Algore certainly says so.   But would they give half their estates directly to the governement?
