1. Are these direct quotes? If so- please include quotation marks and footnotes.

If not- this video is as biased and ineffectual as any that come from the right.

4. agreed

These are "interpretations" and will not be effective for anything outside preaching to the choir

[GOTV]

5. I could not find some of these quotes ...

... and I agree that since it could appear that the video is attributing these statements to the person pictured it will do more damage to us by giving conservatives something to point at as an example of why we cannot be trusted to present the truth.

6. The scary thing is that you even have to ask.

I did not research the quotes, but you can tell that some of them are clearly (or not so clearly) interpretations and not direct quotes. What is amazing to me is that they are all so extremely divisive, bias, negative and downright disgusting, yet at the same time some of them are actual quotes. It is really difficult to separate the quotes from the interpretations. In a different time, you might say to yourself, "Nobody would actually say that!!", but in today's climate, any of them could actually come out of somebody's mouth.


My suggestion to this collection would be to make a game out of it. You could actually show one of the quotes/intepretations and make the user guess if somebody actually said it or not.

8. No. It is not difficult at all to separate quotes from interpretations. The quotes are available.

Use them! The whole point of this video it to hold these Republicans up as hypocrites That is only possible by tying them to their exact words and not an explanation of what they meant to say. Christ, the GOP does that to us all the time.

the only way to beat them at this game is not to play it because it is beneath us to do so.

2. OP Title = an oxymoron.

Yeah, yeah, "Oxymoran".

3. I think it sums up their attitude quite nicely.

They are the worst humanity has to offer.

9. can't disagree there.

7. can't disagree with the hypocrisy shown.

i thought this little film summarized republican ideals quite well.

btw, in october 2006, the gummint mandated that all vehicles were to be equipped with black boxes starting with 2010 models. how's that for government staying out of our bidness! republicans want total control.
