Since Fox wanted to change words in Michelle Obama's speech, I propose "Foxifying" some Republicans
As noted on here and in Media Matters, Megyn Kelly of Fox decided that if you changed a few words in Michelle Obama’s speech, it looked a lot different. See below:



Fox News' Megyn Kelly noted that during her DNC speech Michelle Obama said, "The world as it is just won't do," and then Kelly continued: "If you replace 'world' with 'country', you are back to the same debate, arguably, that you have been having about Michelle Obama's feelings about the country. Did she give her critics any fodder with that comment?"

So, in honor of that, I suggest we compile a list of quotes from John McCain, George Bush and other leading Republicans and change one small word to see if that would change the debate at all.

Here we go with a few starters:
John McCain, “We’re all Georgians fascists now.”

John McCain, “There’s one big difference between me and the others—I won’twill take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy.”

Dick Cheney, “We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators invaders.”

Mitt Romney, “I am in favor of stem-cell research bestiality.

Rudy Giuliani, “What we can borrow from Ronald Reagan Barack Obama... is that great sense of optimism. He led by building on the strengths of America, not running America down."

With quotes like these, I think the Republicans have a problem?

Any other quotes where we can change one thing and it points to a problem?

4. Here are a few more
I thought this would get a few more responses, but I guess it was not as funny as I thought:

John McCain: "The core political values of our free society are so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness that only a few malcontents Republicans, lunatics generally, ever dare to threaten them."

Mike Huckabee: “Inside every human being pre-teen there are treasures to unlock.”

John McCain again: “"Leonardo DiCaprio George Bush is "an androgynous wimp.""
