Ron Reagan Quotes
Limbaugh hasn't had a natural erection since the Nixon Administration; think he's compensating for something? Now, I wouldn't pick on him for any of this stuff, not his blubbiness, not his man-boobs, not his inability to have a natural erection -- none of that stuff -- to me, off limits until! until! -- Mr. Limbaugh, you turn that sort of gun on somebody else -- once you start doing that, you're fair game, fat boy. Absolutely, you jiggly pile of mess. You're just fair game, and you're going to get it, too. You'd better watch what you say, Limbaugh, because it can come back the other way.
Limbaugh, a very successful political talk radio host, had a nasty habit of insulting people on the left, attacking their sexuality, their appearance, and other things that had nothing to do with politics. However, he himself seemed to be immune from attack until Reagan, on the air, gave him some of his own medicine.

The text was actually written by John Kenneth Galbraith who was writing speeches for Stevenson.
In a 1980 South Carolina congressional campaign Democratic candidate Tom Turnipseed accused Atwater of masterminding anonymous phone calls to voters revealing the fact that, as a teenager, Turnipseed had received electroshock therapy. Atwater told the press:
Bunch was the undersecretary-general of the United Nations who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his mediation efforts in the Middle East. Archie Roosevelt and his extreme right wing associates thought that anyone who worked in the UN was a communist and had no respect for the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee. In the spirit of Archie Roosevelt’s father, the Theodore Roosevelt made the award to Buche and ignored Archie’s slanderous attack. Surprising to most people who know of President Theodore Roosevelt’s general liberal views, his 4th son was an ultraconservative who founded and joined racist, anti-Semitic, right wing organizations, and to the distress of many in the family and without lent his name to many of the most extreme right wing causes and organizations.
His older brother was running for Consul—the highest elected office of the Roman Empire. The Handbook, was his advice to his brother as to how to conduct his campaign.
David Souter was an outstanding Supreme Court Justice—a lifelong Republican appointed by a Republican President. He did not vote the way Erickson thought he should. There was never any hint of any kind of sexual problem with Souter, and why Erickson chose to slander him with these descriptors is not known. One unproven theory is that some Souter votes and opinions upheld the First Amendment freedoms of pornographers and therefore by supporting these practices being promulgated, Erickson thought that he believed they were worthy themselves. Fortunately, Souter was so well thought off that only a few right wing extremists took these lies for what they were. What is important about this quotation is that Erickson did not lose any standing within the Conservative wing of the Republican party as a result of these rash slanders that were in themselves in terrible taste and crudely expressed. The Daily Telegraph of London put Erickson on its "List of Most Influential US Conservatives", giving him a rank of 69th most influential in 2007 and 65th in 2010. This crude lie was made in 2009. The Republican Party traditionally would never tolerate this kind of rhetoric but after the Southern Strategy, the party grew more and more extremist in its views and more and more vicious and unethical in its political methods.
Chavez frequently insulted officials and leaders of other countries. See linked quotes for examples.
This quotation illustrates a peculiar situation with regard to President Barack Obama. Among some subgroups of the United States, there are people who hate President Obama. And some of them, throughout his Presidency, has described Obama in these obviously false phrases. They manage to hold these false belief’s despite the fact that the refuting evidence is very easy to find. Obama was a very devout Protestant. And his political world view was not communism or Marxism, but middle of the road. He was not even in the left wing of his Democratic Party. However what De Varona and others with these seemingly absurd views discount the data because it is part of a communist conspiracy to plant false information so they can put their man in the White House.
There is a great irony to this quotation. Here we have a communist propaganda agent using the extreme excesses of an American Anti-Communist fanatic to the Communist advantage by associating them with McCarthyism. It supports the view of many political scientists and historians that McCarthyism was in the long run more beneficial to the Communists than not.
On the possibility of Jesse Jackson running for mayor of Washington DC with little administrative experience:
This quotation is hardly believable, even for an ultra extreme, evangelical, Christian, fundamentalist. His paranoia and homophobia went so far as to claim that somehow the only gay Congressman, Jared Polis, was going to bankrupt Christians who did not endorse his homosexuality. How he might do this Klingenschmitt never explained. But then to associate Polis with the Muslim Fundamentalist Terrorist organization ISIS—which executes homosexuals—and claim that Polis would behead Christians in America was over the top. The quotation illustrates the freedom of speech allowed in American political campaigning where the most absurd, libelous, falsehoods are allowed, as well as the fact that an obvious unbalanced person can freely run for office.
Comey was objecting to the firing of several Assistant Attorneys General whom he thought were victims of parisanship.
