The right-wing nutjob quote-o-matic

''This was a war of Obama's choosing. This is not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in.''

—Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, rewriting history while speaking at a Connecticut fundraiser about the war in Afghanistan, which President Bush launched following the 9/11 terrorist attacks (July 2, 2010)

Oh, this is great! It's the Right-Wing Nutjob Quote-O-Matic - Stupid Quotes Quotes by Right-Wing Nutjobs and Crazy Conservatives. Every time you reload the page - or click the button to "get another quote" - you get a random quote from a right-wing nutjob, like the one above. Or this one:

''If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that's in people's pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the war between the states -- the Great War of Yankee Aggression.''

—Rep. Paul Broun (R- Ga.), March 18, 2010

Alternately, you can narrow your search by selecting particular loonies, like the Sarah Palin Insane-O-Matic. From there, you can move on to Funny Sarah Palin Pictures, Best Sarah Palin Cartoons, or Best Sarah Palin Jokes.


''Sarah Palin was delivering a speech and she said 'refudiate.' It's not a word -- you have refute and repudiate, and she combined them. A lot of times that will happen and people will confuse combinations of words. I remember a couple years ago John McCain mistakenly combined the words Vice President and Palin.''David Letterman

It's not just Sarah Palin who has her own, individual Insane-O-Matic, either. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, and Michelle Bachmann are all honored with their own pages.

''Guess what? Faisal Shahzad is a registered Democrat. I wonder if his SUV had an Obama sticker on it.''

—Rush Limbaugh, lying about the failed Times Square car bomber, who is not registered to vote, May 4, 2010

Yeah, this is a real time-waster (as if I really needed another one!), but I need something to make me laugh these days. Maybe you do, too? Enjoy!

''The Nazi comments...they are awful. Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that...and then to have them call me Hitler's daughter. It hurts. It's ugliness beyond anything I've ever experienced.''

—Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, on critics comparing Arizona's ''show-me-your-papers'' law to Nazi Germany. Brewer's father, as it turns out, served stateside during World War II as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nevada, and died of lung disease in 1955 in California.
