Do you have cites for any of these? Perhaps with context?

The Obama quote was a verbal slip-up.

But nothing cements an ignorant person in their poorly thought out ideals like dehumanizing people they think they don't connect with.

Of course I blame the religious right for making this worse, they are so paranoid that students will find out that the earth is more than 6000 years old that they have gutted the little bit of critical thinking that was taught in schools.

The right wing can’t compete on the actual ideals so they have to resort to childish personal attacks to deflect from their poorly thought out dogma.

Also thinks that saying stupid things is a liberal trait and not, you know, _all of humanity_.

He obviously meant 47 out of the lower 48. If it’s your goal to point out every simple mistake like that, I would rethink the time it’s going to involve.

Looks like the OP ripped off [this site.](http://conservativeread.com/in-her-own-words-stupid-things-nancy-pelosi-actually-said-and-other-liberal-quotes/)

Looks like we have another plagiarizer ( or the same one).

Sheryl Crow did say that. But she then explained for the humor-impaired that she was making a joke.
