Karl Rove: [before conservative fund-raisers] “Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.”

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.): [quoted on the Senate Floor from an FBI agent’s report in describing detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp as being chained to the floor without food or water in extreme temperatures] “If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime that had no concern for human beings.”
Howard Dean: [on Meet the Press]
“MR. RUSSERT: Let me talk about some of the things you have said about the Republicans. Here’s Howard Dean in January: “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for…” Howard Dean in February: “This is a struggle between good and evil and we’re the good?” Do you really hate Republicans? Do you consider them evil?
DR. DEAN: I don’t–well, actually that was a little out of context. But I don’t hate Republicans as individuals. But I hate what the Republicans are doing to this country. I really do. I hate deficits, as you know. When I was governor, I really was very tough on fiscal responsibility. Deficits in the long run aren’t good for the country, and they do lower our standard of living. Every American family knows that you have to pay your bills. I hate the dishonesty, you know, the idea that you’d put a program through Congress without telling people what it costs, I think that’s wrong. Some of the things that the president said on our way into Iraq, they just weren’t true, and I don’t think that’s right. So…”
Congressman John Hostettler (R-Ind): [debating a Democratic amendment to the annual defense appropriations bill that would have required the Air Force Academy to develop a plan for preventing “coercive and abusive religious proselytizing”]: “The long war on Christianity in America continues today on the floor of the House of Representatives . . . continues unabated with aid and comfort to those who would eradicate any vestige of our Christian heritage being supplied by the usual suspects, the Democrats.”
