Quote of the Day

Given the rhetoric spewing forth recently from Cheney, McCarthy-apologist and cheerleader Ann Coulter, hate-monger Hannity and others, who said the following?

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

Bush? Rove? Mehlman? Frist? All logical choices, but no, it was Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich-Marshall at the Nuremberg Trials.
