"It reminds me of an event that took place in this country and around the world in the late 1930s. During that period of Nazism and fascism's growth – a real danger to this country and democratic countries around the world – there were people in this country and in the British parliament who said 'don't worry! Hitler's not real! It'll disappear!" – Senator Bernie Sanders, on climate change skeptics.

"This is what John Roberts did today. This is a Supreme Court-sanctioned murder of what little actual Democracy is left in this Democracy. It is government of the people by the corporations for the corporations. It is the Dark Ages. It is our Dred Scott. I would suggest a revolution but a revolution against the corporations? The corporations that make all the guns and the bullets," – Keith Olbermann.

"They'll be a population of demented very old people, like an invasion of terrible immigrants, stinking out the restaurants and cafes and shops. I can imagine a sort of civil war between the old and the young in 10 or 15 years' time. There should be a [euthanasia] booth on every ­corner where you could get a martini and a medal,"- Martin Amis, provocateur.

"In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees," – Keith Olbermann. Ugh.

"There is a story in the Bible about a man who pretended to be Jesus' friend and then when the chips were down, decided to turn Jesus in for 30 shekels of silver. Barack Obama may be becoming that man. I am sure Judas didn't see it as a betrayal at the time, he didn't think he was becoming unfaithful, he felt it was his right to earn some money. And besides, Jesus would somehow muddle through, and everything would eventually all wash over, and things would get back to normal," – Robb E. Lovell, a computer scientist, dancer/choreographer, and installation artist. And he obviously has no clue what's in the Gospels.

"People of Connecticut: What have u done 2 this country? We hold u responsible. Start recall of Lieberman 2day or we’ll boycott your state," – Michael Moore.

"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough,'" Harry Reid, on healthcare reform.

"Look what happened. Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan. How we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away. How we intentionally did not follow the Taliban and al Qaeda… the previous administration… knew very well that if they would capture al Qaeda there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq," – Democratic Congressman Maurice Hinchey.

"For the millions of women who voted for Obama on his promise to protect their reproductive rights, this past weekend's whipsaw on abortion funding is just the latest example of a president who frankly could care less about women beyond their votes. […] He had beers with Skip Gates, but ignored it when Rihanna was almost strangled to death," – Amy Siskind.
