Okay, let’s play Who Said It? The game is to post an unattributed quote and challenge the CR to identify the speaker. I’ll start it off. Who said,
“I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?”
Betcha Charlie Hall knows who said it.

September 8, 2011 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm #808533ronrsrMemberhappiest, that was Bill Clinton. Not such a stupid guy, after all.
September 8, 2011 5:20 pm at 5:20 pm #808534happiestMemberya, and ummm- to make a remark like that he has to be stupid. He was definitely not one of our better presidents and he is a democrat so in my eyes he is a bit stupid. I have some other pretty bad ones from him but they are not all “clean” enough for this site.

September 8, 2011 5:47 pm at 5:47 pm #808541ronrsrMemberWhat Israeli statesman first said, “The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. “
Big hint: he also said, “If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions. “
September 8, 2011 5:55 pm at 5:55 pm #808542ursula momishMemberActually, Abraham Lincoln said “You can fool all of the people…” (phrased a bit more wordily, though).

September 8, 2011 6:23 pm at 6:23 pm #808556ronrsrMemberwhat famous Jewish athlete said:
“In the end it all comes down to talent. You can talk all you want about intangibles, I just don’t know what that means. Talent makes winners, not intangibles. Can nice guys win? Sure, nice guys can win – if they’re nice guys with a lot of talent. Nice guys with a little talent finish fourth and nice guys with no talent finish last.”
and
“I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.”
Big Hint: Yogi Berra said of him, after trying to hit against him in the 1963 World Series, “I can see how he won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five.”
