Quote of the Day (April 1, 2010)

*
Lisa Fabrizio:
"So, mean right-winger Tea Partiers are hurting the feelings of our sainted elected officials in Washington. There are rumors of intimidation, death threats and, horror of horrors, inappropriate language. So thin-skinned are these folks that Sarah Palin's simple exhortation, 'don't retreat, reload,' was referred to as 'violent words and imagery.' Even dead Republicans are the subject of posthumous excoriation, as in these noble words of Barry Goldwater: 'Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.' One wonders what they would make of Thomas Jefferson's observation that, 'The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.'"
