Remembering the Stupid things Liberals have Said, as We Thank our Lucky Shamrocks We're Conservative

By Elizabeth Nelson

In honor of Saint Patrick's day, the day when most people drink green beer and suddenly become Irish to steal a kiss:

There was a young lady named Harris, whom nothing could ever embarrass, till the bath salts one day in the tub where she lay turned out to be plaster of Paris.  

If we're honest with ourselves and our friends we've all had a laugh at some of the stupid things liberals have done or said over the years, because we just can't make this stuff up.  Here are just some of my favorites:


"The number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S." — Joe Biden


" Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’ The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you." — Joe Biden


"My fear is that the whole island (of Guam) will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." — Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson

" I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome." — Drew Barrymore

"I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 — building 7, which collapsed in on itself — it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes — 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible." — Rosie O’Donnell


" If we want to keep our reproductive rights, we must be willing to tell our stories, to be willing and able to say, “I love my life, but I wish my mother had aborted me.” — Lynn Beisner, the Guardian

" Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them."  — Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

" Isn't it a little racist to call it Black Friday?" — Joy Behar

" A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to repeal health care reform. The bill, titled the “Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act,” was set to come up for a vote this week, but in the wake of Gabby’s shooting, it has been postponed at least until next week. Don’t get me wrong — I’m not suggesting that the name of that one piece of legislation somehow led to the horror of this weekend — but is it really necessary to put the word “killing” in the title of a major piece of legislation?" — Chellie Pingree, Congresswoman (D-ME)

"Herman Cain is probably well-liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party, conservative movement and tea party movement. People like Karl Rove like to keep the racism very covert and so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity so he can say, ‘Look: This is not a racist anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look: We have a black man.’ And look he’s polling well and he won a straw poll." — Janeane Garofalo

" Is there such a thing as a man-made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to (Democratic Senator Tim Johnson)? …I know what this [Republican] party is capable of." — Joy Behar on The View

"During my service in the United States Congress,  I took the initiative in creating the Internet." — Al Gore

" Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."— Nancy Pelosi

" Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go." — Barack Obama

"The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied."—  Jeremiah Wright

" I propose a limitation be put on how many squares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required." — Sheryl Crow

"Had a powerful meditation just now — caused an earthquake in Southern California. …Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake. Sorry about that." — Deepak Chopra thinks his meditation can cause earthquakes

"Y’all better vote for f——g Obama, OK? For better or for worse, we have a black Muslim in the White House. Now, …that’s some amazing s—-t. It means there is hope in this country." — Madonna

Like I said, we just can't make this stuff up, so me might as well laugh about it; laughing is good for the soul.  As we all get together, for our Saint Patrick's day festivities, may we all be responsible and safe in our endeavors and count our blessings not our sorrows.
