Liberals:

Finally, Democrats stopped with the crazy talk and the violent rhetoric. Just kidding.

Democrat Rep Jim Moran: "It [Republican victories in November] happened ... for the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States. Southern states, particularly the slaveholding states, didn't want to see a president who was opposed to slavery. In this case a lot of people in this country, it's my belief, don't want to be governed by an African-American, particularly one who is inclusive, who is liberal, who wants to spend money on everyone and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society. And that's a basic philosophical clash."

Belknap Democratic Chair Ed Mallard, speaking of Republicans: "They're going to hang themselves. And we're going to help them."

MSNBC Vice President Bill Wolff: "MSNBC does not have a political agenda. The idea that we're beholden to one side or the other is ridiculous."

Charles Schumer: "The fact that five senators are for privatizing Social Security shows we're not crying wolf here. This is a serious movement to undo the most successful government program of the 20th century."

Danny Glover: “Think about that violence now in relationship to what has happened in Tucson. You know, even though we know that this young man is just deranged in some way, there's the side that drove him to that act, with the kind of vitriol, the kind of nasty, just villainous violence that is happening. The violence that happened even during, you know, town hall meetings.during the healthcare crisis, the healthcare debate and everything, all this kind of violence. Then you take, again, that, the war, the wars-King talks about that, how that violence-that violence comes home. That violence comes home to haunt us.”

Nancy Pelosi: “President Obama was a job creator from day one.”

Pelosi, with regards to Obama being in the middle: “I think that’s where he’s always been.”

Van Jones: “Here's how you know if you live in a society where there's social justice: Would you be willing to take your life . . . write it on a card, throw it in a big pot with everybody else . . . reach in at random and pull out another life with total confidence that it would be a good life?”
