If you have not the will to go in there, I will summarize:
Her yearbook quote was, "I am not a champion of lost causes, but of causes not yet won."-Norman Thomas.

The folk over at FR have this to say on the subject:
All part of the King Obama takeover of America. Socialists, he!!, just another racist and will be another player in the communists run America.

It sounds......activist. Very activist.
******
To be fair, there were a few voices of slightly more reason that can be summarized by this:
A mild quote, but still -- if you have to choose anyone at all, why choose to quote a socialist?
Of course, Obama's yearbook entry quoted William Ayers, so ...
********

So, my question to you: does having an opposition composed of idiots get boring sometimes? I mean it is the same thing with them everyday: lies, hypocrisy, lies, thinly veiled racism, circular logic, abuse of the English language, lies, story about Reagan, hypocrisy, out of context reference to the Founders, lies... it's just gotten stale, you know?

1. At least they get creative in their insanity.
I really wouldn't have predicted this one - that's a bit much, even for them.

6. It sounds like it could be true.
And really, that's all that matters to a Freeper.

4. and my guess is that Fat Tony's year book picture quote was one of the following:
"The business of America is business"--Calvin Coolidge, 1925

or

"Give me extra bread sticks--and don't be stingy, baby"

9. When I grow up I want to command a socialist takeover of the world's most powerful country?
Wasn't that the title of the essay
