Your Quote of the Day

Mr Huntley is a sentimental old nostalgic bozo if he thinks that. He must have seen too many Henry Fonda movies.

Somebody ought to inform Mr Brinkley that nothing is never happening.

This is from years ago. He is long dead.

It's scary that a guy like Huntley was that deluded.

TEA PARTY

1."There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design." – Michele Bachmann
2."You know what, evolution is a myth….Why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?" - Christine O’Donnell
3.''I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change. It's not proven by any stretch of the imagination...It's far more likely that it's just sunspot activity or just something in the geologic eons of time. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere 'gets sucked down by trees and helps the trees grow.''' - Ron Johnson
4.'They [Republicans] say, 'You're too conservative.' Was Thomas Jefferson too conservative? I'm tired of some people calling me wacky.” - Sharron Angle
5."American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains." - Christine O'Donnell
6.''Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.''- Sarah Palin
7.''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
8.''The greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias.'' - Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX)

10.''I'm not a witch...I'm you.'' – Christine O’Donnell

I'll agree with that.

Didn't think you were that much of a fool, Spendi.

I'm surprised there are people who disagree with the proposition. I assume they have a partisan interest. And when a partisan refers to opposition as fools every intelligent person knows who the fool is.

What threat to America is a terrorist attack? America has gone through a number of recessions and emerged stronger.

But a liberal media is a threat of a far greater magnitude. Of a whole other order.

Benjamin Franklin had said that the word "liberal" be struck out when Mr Madison had suggested it because it could be reinterpreted at any time and there was a "tendency to abuses. . . to grow of themselves when once begun".

I suspect you once helped to sell in the streets flattened out woodpulp in with ink inserts. There can be no other explanation for you thinking a gratuitous insult answers the case.

I guarantee there is no liberal bias on American TV news. I get sick watching the pap and have to turn it off every time I tune it in.

I think Fox News is as liberal as a knitting break in the Grauniad Feechewers rest room.

Your definition of liberal is confusing, spendi. No liberal I could name thinks of Fox as liberal.

That shows how unobservant your liberals are. Or how devious. It's a Murdoch satellite and we all know he has made a fortune pandering to the uninstructed plebians.

The "un-reflecting multitude" was Mr Madison's phrase.

I don't think he was talking about admiring your own reflection, spendi...

Spendi is using a 19th century definition of "liberal", quite different from what we mean by the word today. By that definition, the peole we call neo-Cons are the most liberal of "liberals."

He's certainly not grounded in 21ST Century use of the term.

Well-- a reasonable test is whether you think women's weightlifting and boxing are acceptable.

Or whether you think science has rendered sport into a vehicle for media people to run amok and the Olympic Games into a chemical farce. What's the 21st century definition of sport?

The economic use of liberal is anachronistic. Liberal is the lower middle class. The Chattering Class. The Paperwork Party. The **** Stirrers. The Nanny. The dinner-party set. The DIY Brigade. The Uroborus.

As I have suggested Spendi, your definition of 'liberal' in 21st century terms is...uh...unique.

That's the charitable response to make.

"...with malice toward none, with charity for all..."

Didn't some great American use those words?
