"I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line you do not-- Also, dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature."

Quoth Clifford May at the National Review:

How curious that at the Academy Awards ceremony last weekend not a word was said about the terrorist movements dedicated to the destruction of the West.
I'm sure someone meant to, but they kept getting cut off by the orchestra.

Walter! What the fuck does this have to do with Vietnam?!

Well there's not a literal connection, dude.

Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but it at least it's an ethos.

Hmmm... If Hollywood was the only reason terrorists had to hate America, would there be suicide bombers taking out Universal studios?

This is more than they hate us fer our freedumb. But you can't tell the dead-ender rightists that.

I thought it was really touching when he explained how much more virtuous we are to the Iraquis than the French were to the Algerians.

You all reached for the tissues, too. Don't deny it.

Hey. At least I'm housebroken.

Whoa, this article is a motherlode of awesome quotes!

"Think what Sergei Eisenstein did for Soviet Communism, or what Leni Riefenstahl did for the Nazis. (Michael Moore is not in their league, though he may aspire to be.)"

"If that is the standard, one might as well also say that people are just as dead when killed on a battlefield or poisoned in a gas chamber, so what’s the difference and who are we to judge?"

What a moral midget.
