Liberals:

President Barack Obama, about Brazil’s President Dilma: "I have told her that the United States wants to be a major customer [of Brazilian oil], which can be a win-win for both our countries."

President Obama on his gun-control record: "My administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners, it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and wildlife refuges."

Reporter Tina Brown: “With the world exploding as it is, I must say that Obama has the worst inbox of any president in history.”  Miss Brown has apparently forgotten about the economic conditions which greeted President Reagan on day 1; WWII and the depression during the time of FDR, a dissolving union facing Lincoln, and W facing back to back recessions and 9/11 within the first 2 years of his presidency.

Harry Reid [defending federal funding for NPR]: “They had a great piece on public radio before the race started; it was really very, very good, about why the [sled dog] race takes place.”

Nancy Pelosi: "Democrats have long fought for fiscal responsibility as a top priority of this Congress.  We won’t go into the history right now, but it’s well known."

Nancy Pelosi: "I think this debate is on a higher ground of our values. It's not about money. It's about the morality of what we're doing."

Paul Krugman: "[T]he nation is not, in fact, broke. The federal government is having no trouble raising money, and the price of that money - the interest rate on federal borrowing - is very low by historical standards. So there's no need to scramble to slash spending now now now; we can and should be willing to spend now if it will produce savings in the long run."

Top security advisor John Brennan: "Closing Guantanamo Bay is important for our national security interests.  But there are many, many complex complex elements to Guantanamo Bay that truly are going to make it very difficult to move swiftly with the closing of that facility."

A disenchanted Louis Farrakhan: "And I warn my brother [Obama] don't you let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world. . . . You can't order him to step down and get out - who the hell do you think you are? - that you can talk to a man that built a country over 42 years and ask him to step down and get out - can anybody ask you?"

Joe Biden at a virtual townhall meeting to political activists and union members: "Let's get something straight.  The only people who have the capacity - organizational capacity and muscle - to keep, as they say, the barbarians from the gate, is organized labor. And make no mistake about it, the guys on the other team get it. They know if they cripple labor, the gate is open, man. The gate is wide open. And we know that too."

Joe Biden, shooting from the hip again: "When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn't home in time to make the dinner.  We've gotten by that.  But it's amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party - whose philosophy threw us into this God-awful hole we're in, gave us the tremendous deficit we've inherited - that they're  now using, now attempting to use, the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim - whether it's organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women. It's bizarre. It's bizarre."

Rob Andrews, the ranking member of the House Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee: “Drilling for oil off the coast is a problem, not a solution.”

Muammar Ghaddafi, in a letter to the President: "To our son, his excellency, Mr Barack Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son. Your picture will not be changed."

Bill Maher: “Governing this country with Republicans is like rooming with a meth addict.  Every black person scares you unless they look like Urkel, talk like Colin Powell and wear Bill Cosby sweaters”

The uncivil left:

Bill Maher: "Did you hear this - Sarah Palin finally heard what happened in Japan and she's demanding that we invade `Tsunami.  I mean she said, `These `Tsunamians' will not get away with this.' Oh speaking of dumb twats, did you..."

Tweet from Mikeclark2, another from the civil left: JamesOKeefeIII someone needs to f***g find you and assassinate you, like, seriously, you get off by f***g up the truth.  I should do it.

Walker protester shouts, "Hang then all!"

Helen Thomas: “Well, there's no understanding of the Palestinians at all. I mean, they're living there and these people want to come and take their homes and land and water and kill their children and kill them....I want people to understand why the Palestinians are upset. They are incarcerated and living in an open prison. I say to the Israelis, "Get out of people's homes!" It's unacceptable to have soldiers knocking on a door at three in the morning and saying, "This is my home." And forcing people out of homes they've lived in for centuries? What is this? How can anybody accept it?”

Michael Moore is unhappy about the no-fly zone being established over Libya, but his tweets on this subject seem to be directed more at Bush than at Obama: “Khadaffy must’ve threatened to kill somebody’s daddy”  “Khadaffy must’ve had WMD!”  “Khadaffy must’ve planned 9/11!” etc.
