QUOTES OF THE WEEK

“Whoever leaked those documents committed really the only crime that occurred during much of this John Doe investigation. The simple release of the documents had prejudicial value, which is why the judge had said don’t allow it to happen.”
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said all leaks from the secret John Doe investigation should be looked at by a special prosecutor.Vos discussed the leak of more than 1,000 documents from the Doe probe to the British newspaper, The Guardian, which published them last week. The records from the probe had been ordered sealed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court Vos was a guest last Sunday on “UpFront with Mike Gousha”

“It seems like rioting is almost expected now when there is a cop shooting.  A cop shooting, period.  Don’t care about the details.  It seems like it’s now axiomatic that there’s going to be rioting or massive public protests or threats of rioting or threats of unrest every time the cops have to draw their weapons. We have regressed and we are in the process of regressing, specifically in the area of race relations, but in general throughout our culture.  Our culture is being roiled.  Our society is being torn asunder.  It is happening with happiness on the part of those doing the asundering.  They are gleeful and feel like they have an objective to accomplish here by further division, creating angst.”
Rush Limbaugh

“Why on earth would you not want to make sure that only citizens are registered and voting? That to me shows that the Obama administration and the left generally, which is behind this, wants to be able to steal elections if necessary. To me, that’s a crisis.”
Tom Fitton, author of “Clean House: Exposing Our Government’s Secrets and Lies”

“John and Robert Kennedy devoted their greatest commitments and energies to the prevention of war and the preservation of peace. To them that was not an abstract formula but the necessary foundation of human life. But today’s Democrats have become the Party of War: a home for arms merchants, mercenaries, academic war planners, lobbyists for every foreign intervention, promoters of color revolutions, failed generals, exploiters of the natural resources of corrupt governments. We have American military bases in 80 countries, and there are now American military personnel on the ground in about 130 countries, a remarkable achievement since there are only 192 recognized countries. Generals and admirals announce our national policies. Theater commanders are our principal ambassadors. Our first answer to trouble or opposition of any kind seems always to be a military movement or action.”
Adam Walinsky worked in the Department of Justice during the Kennedy administration and later served as legislative assistant and speechwriter to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy

“Having said all this, ‘Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?’ you might ask?”

“With her summer lead having vanished, Clinton is now dealing with the fallout from two issues that have the potential to torment her until Election Day: the state of her health and a resurgence of radical Islamist attacks against US citizens on American soil. There may be nothing she can do about the former. The video of her nearly fainting outside the 9/11 memorial in New York is seared into the collective consciousness of the nation. As for the eruption of violence, Clinton is saddled with the unhappy task of defending President Obama’s ineffective war against the Islamic State while also trying to convince the public she’s tough on terror.”
Eric Fehrnstrom, a Republican political analyst and media strategist, and was a senior adviser to Governor Mitt Romney

“With only a year in national politics, he does not have to show a mastery of foreign and domestic policy details. Rather, he has to do what John F. Kennedy did in 1960, and what Ronald Reagan did in 1980. He has to meet and exceed expectations, which are not terribly high. He has to convince a plurality of voters, who seem prepared to vote for him, that he’s not a terrible risk, and that he will be a president of whom they can be proud. He has to show the country a Trump that contradicts the caricature created by those who dominate our politics, culture and press.”
Pat Buchanan on how Donald Trump wins Monday night’s debate

“We have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community. I will consider it a personal insult and an insult to my legacy if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good send-off? Go vote. If you care about our legacy, realize everything we stand for is at stake. All the progress we’ve made is at stake in this election.”
President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation gala

“The president’s hyper emotional plea for Democrats, especially nonwhite Democrats, to vote this November is just another sign that the party is in a state of panic. Clinton has years of experience in public life, serving as a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and being First Lady. This should be a landslide win for her, instead the polls have shown that the race is virtually a dead heat, with some noting that her lock on the Electoral College has been broken. People don’t like, trust, or are fond of old, sick Hillary.”
Matt Vespa, the Associate Editor at Townhall.com

“They (the media) are 100 percent in the tank for Hillary Clinton.”
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell

“My friends — one of my friends, Leon Wieseltier, calls it a national emergency. My friends won’t even read any — if I do interviews with Trump. They won’t read them. And basically, they would like to censor any stories about Trump and also censor any negative stories about Hillary. They think she should have a total free pass.”
NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd

“For all Hillary’s hundreds of millions of corporate dollars and legions of Clinton Foundation strategists, she could never quite shake Trump, who at 70 seemed more like a frenzied 55.”
Victor Davis Hanson, classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University

“No one is trying to gas the transgender community. No one is trying to throw them in ovens. No one blamed them for the economic woes of a nation. That is other-izing. For Jill Soloway to think she has an understanding of history is beyond contempt, and to think she knows anything about decency is laughable.”
Morning radio host Tony Katz, who happens to be Jewish, criticized Jill Soloway who compared Donald Trump to Hitler at last Sunday’s Emmy Awards. Soloway said, “Jews were other-ized in Nazi Germany to gain political power for Hitler, and right now Donald Trump is doing the same thing.”

“If I had a bowl of skittles and told you three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”
Donald Trump, Jr. tweeted a photo of a bowl of skittles with the above caption
