In their own words, the Republican ‘angry white men’:

On Obama: “We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds… because his father was black.” Rush Limbaugh
On the Presidency: “Can we pray for the re-election of George Bush?” Sean Hannity
On religion: “It doesn’t say anywhere in the constitution this idea of the separation of church and state.” Sean Hannity
On climate change: “If you believe the mainstream media hype, you’d think that every time you drive your SUV, the Earth’s temperature rises six degrees.” Glenn Beck
On waterboarding: “I am for enhanced interrogation. I don’t believe waterboarding is torture… I’ll do it. I’ll do it for charity.” Sean Hannity
On the UN: “I just wish [Hurricane] Katrina had only hit the United Nations building, nothing else, just had flooded them out, and I wouldn’t have rescued them.” Bill O’Reilly
On weapons of mass destruction: “If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it’s clean, he has nothing, I will apologise to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again, all right?” Bill O’Reilly
On race: “I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship.” Bill O’Reilly
On Islam: “I have a number of things that I am gonna demand and one of them is that no more Muslim immigrants come into this country. No more mosques be permitted to be built in this country…and yes we need racial profiling immediately…” Michael Savage
On immigration: “You don’t have the right to protest. You’re allowed no demonstrations, no foreign flag waving, no political organising… you’re a foreigner, shut your mouth or get out.” Rush Limbaugh
On politics: “Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative.” Glenn Beck
On homosexuality: “The gay and lesbian mafia wants our children. If it can win their souls and their minds, it knows their bodies will follow. Of course, it wants to homosexualise the whole country, not just the children” Michael Savage
On feminism: “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.” Rush Limbaugh
