Stupidest and/or Scariest Quote from the Right for the Day: On Demonizing Democrats or Don't Kill All the Liberals
"The left are the ones that proposed abolishing the CIA in the 1990's. They rendered it impotent under the Clinton years. They're the ones that, while Ronald Reagan was deploying missiles in Europe, pursuing SDI, building up our nation's defenses and calling the Soviet Union an "evil empire," Al Gore, Tom Daschle, and Dick Gephardt were voting for a nuclear freeze.

Based on that track record, I don't think they're the people to lead this country into the future, because they don't seem to have a fundamental understanding of good versus evil in the world and the need to destroy that would otherwise destroy innocent human life." — Sean Hannity. "700 Club," CBN, 8-21-02.

Stupidest and/or Scariest Quote from the Right for the Day: On The Inquisition
"Physical evidence conclusively establishes that the President and Ms. Lewinsky had a sexual relationship . . . Ms. Lewinsky turned over a navy blue dress that she had worn during a sexual encounter with the President on February 28, 1997. According to Ms. Lewinsky, she noticed stains on the garment the next time she took it from her closet. From their location, she surmised that the stains were the President's semen.

Initial tests revealed that the stains were in fact semen. Based on that result, the OIC [Office of the Independent Counsel] asked the President for a blood sample. After requesting and being given assurances that the OIC had an evidentiary basis for making the request, the President agreed. In the White House Map Room on August 3, 1998, the White House Physician drew a vial of blood from the President in the presence of an FBI agent and an OIC attorney.

By conducting the two standard DNA comparison tests, the FBI Laboratory concluded that the President was the source of the DNA obtained from the dress. According to the more sensitive RFLP test, the genetic markers on the semen, which match the President's DNA, are characteristic of one out of 7.87 trillion Caucasians."
— From The Starr Report, "Narrative" section I.B.1., "Physical Evidence," 9-9-98.
