What would you put in a museum of GOP fascism?
Edited on Thu May-27-04 02:56 PM by LoZoccolo
I've been pondering this lately...the GOP and it's minions are saying a lot of things which might look almost as bad as red-scare McCarthyist weirdo propaganda, or racist anti-segregationist propaganda from the fifties looks now.

Like the response to Al Gore's speech:
http://www.gop.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=4242

Or this bizzare attempt to try to smear MoveOn.org with a serious of tenuous associations:
http://www.gop.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=4240

So I ask you - what would you put in a museum of GOP fascism to be remembered even ten years from now?

One thing before we begin - please keep it real; I don't want this to be a thread of venting hyperbole or a simple two-minutes hate. I'd like to keep the signal-to-noise ratio good so I can actually do something with this thread and maybe be able to make a web page or email full of stuff by powerful people in politics. So please try to limit yourself to real quotes by prominent officials and pundits and what-not, cited if possible.

2. Bush's quote about being a dictator would be easier
When Bush was asked, early in his presidency, why much of his promised legislation hadn't passed, he said " well, it has to go through Congress. It would be a lot easier if I was the dictator."

I probably didn't get it exact but that was a doosy for me.
