Take a stroll down memory lane w/ MediaMatters most outrageous quotes 2005
You'll laugh, you'll cry you'll :spray: over your computer screen as you stroll down memory lane revisiting some of the most outrageous (dumbass in my book) statements made in 2005

Most outrageous statements of 2005

Here are the most outrageous statements Media Matters for America has documented this year. From attacks on women, Muslims, and African-Americans to a call for the assassination of a foreign leader to an open invitation for Al Qaeda to "blow up" San Francisco to a claim that gay marriage would lead to unions between "a man and his donkey," these statements acutely represent the extreme conservative speech we found in the news media in 2005. (We tried to limit the comments to a Top 10 list, but it was simply impossible.)
Former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett: "ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

Pat Robertson: "If thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

Bill O'Reilly to San Francisco: "f Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. ... You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
Bill O'Reilly, agreeing with caller that illegal immigrants are "biological weapon": "I think you could probably make an absolutely airtight case that more than 3,000 Americans have been either killed or injured, based upon the 11 million illegals who are here."

Rush Limbaugh: "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

<<<<<more>>>>>

Of course not making the list but probably because it just came out was this doozy from Annthrax's last column:

Coulter: "he government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo"
