Liberal Hall of Shame
The
Manumitter Daily “He’s [John Kerry] running against the worst President in the history of the United States! [audience applause] And that’s not hyperbole. That’s not hyperbole. The environment, the demonization of gays, the repression of black voters, the favoritism of Halliburton, this unending war....We can’t consume everybody’s life with this fear when we’ve been attacked twice in twenty years.” Actor/comedian Richard Belzer, who plays “Detective
John Munch” on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, on HBO’s Real
Time with Bill Maher, October 29.
"This is a big heist, this is a big heist. The right wing is in power,
the bankers are screwing everyone — the oil companies, Halliburton — this
is no f---ing mystery....It started with Reagan crushing the poor, crushing
the unions, rewarding people, putting them into heads of certain departments
of the government and then disassembling those departments because they
have contempt for the government."
"We’ve been redefined for seven years now as a war-mongering, far-right,
intolerant nation who’s raping our own atmosphere and demonizing the poor
and letting the banks rob us blind. I think if — any incremental move
away from that would be a godsend. And I think Obama will, at the very
least, put the brakes on this madness and in some ways heal it....I think
the rest of the world, if they see that America elects a man of color
I think they’ll breathe a big sigh of relief and not think that we’re
this war-mongering, rich white guy country."
