The 40 Most Obnoxious Quotes For 2005

Yes, it is that time of the year again. The time of the year when we collect all the monumental moments of the past twelve months and condense them into one tinny-tiny little list.

From Right-Wing News, here are some of my favorites from their “40 Most Obnoxious Quotes for 2005” list:

6) "For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted [and] in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal. But let me ask you this: Would you render the same support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?"
-- University Professor Ward Churchill on supporting soldiers who frag their officers

11) "(The) idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."
-- Howard Dean

17) "I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
-- Louis Farrakhan speculates that New Orleans was deliberately flooded

26) "Well I would say that in the year 2000, the country failed abysmally in the presidential election process. There's no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president."
-- Jimmy Carter

33) "The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar."

35) "As a matter of fact, I was talking to my friend Laura, who sings on the record, and we're both getting to the point where we want to start families. We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead."
-- Moby
