"This is the enduring legacy of the Obama campaign. I'm not saying this to be inflammatory, I blame Barack Obama because he allowed his surrogates in the media and Hollywood and everyone else on the left to do this dirty talking for him [during the campaign]. … It was vile," – columnist S.E. Cupp, blaming Obama for Letterman's joke about Palin.

"Make no mistake. Muslims created this atmosphere where hatred of the Jews is okay and must be “tolerated” as a legitimate point of view. The shooting today is just yet another manifestation emanating from that viewpoint–another manifestation of the welcome mat that Muslims rolled out for fellow anti-Semites of all stripes to no longer be afraid to come out of the closet," – Debbie Schlussel, who says that Hot Air isn't really conservative.

Hewitt Award Nominee

"The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich. … With Mr. Obama's unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls "the Muslim world" (hereafter known as "the Speech"), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself," – Frank Gaffney, in the Washington Times.

"Let me just say — this is going to sound radical, I don’t mean for it to be radical — but to me, the greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias," – Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX).

Can anyone doubt why the GOP is in free-fall?

“It seems there is some legitimate confusion on just what languages Obama speaks, and as far as Arabic, the only real hint has came from Nick Kristof, who heard Obama recite the Muslim call to prayer in Arabic and with a “first-rate accent” back in 2007. With even the White House now smearing Obama as a Muslim, one wonders if the president hasn’t been concealing some greater fluency with the language of the Koran,” – Michael Goldfarb, Weekly Standard.

"Can we expect a comment from Obama that adoption of Sharia Law here will warm the cockles of every heart in the Muslim ummah? This tour of the Sunni Muslim heartland is getting pretty scary and revealing about Obama. Is he the equivalent of a Star Wars Sith lord out to overturn the American Republic with this appeasing rhetoric? Stay tuned!" – Jerry Gordon at Israpundit.

"Obama promised us the dream of post-partisanship—a cuckoo land where party affiliation and factional animosity were forgotten. Turn on cable news or open any newspaper, however, and you’ll quickly discover that the dream has yet to materialize. But there is a way to reach across the aisle without letting principles fall by the wayside. We speak, naturally, of the hate-fuck. We may despise everything these [conservative] women represent, but goddammit they’re hot. Let the healing begin," -Guy Cimbalo, Playboy.

"I caught the beginning of the O'Reilly Factor the other night, and I've just got to say that O'Reilly's idea of free speech is just wrong. He insisted that if someone says something bad or untrue about him — and I'm perfectly willing to concede that lots of bad and untrue things are said about him — then his rights have been violated. He even admitted that he couldn't win with that argument in court, but insisted over and over again that any unfounded criticism of him is a violation of his rights. And that's just nonsense," – Jonah Goldberg.
