Yesterday, I posted The 40 Most Obnoxious Quotes For 2008[1]. However, there were some fairly obnoxious quotations that didn’t quite make the grade and it seems a shame to just let the runners-up go down the memory hole. So, without further ado, here are those that didn’t quite make the cut for the 40 most obnoxious quotes for 2008,

“[W]hen I was in college, I studied sociology. And what we learned is that racism is an institutional thing. It’s not like, it’s something that goes from the top down.

The majority is racist to the oppressed minority.” — Joy Behar[3]

“You have to put, like a Hitler type [on the cover]. Like, you put Donald Rumsfeld there, or something.” — Joy Behar[4]

“I want to cut his nuts off.” — Jesse Jackson Sr.[9] on Barack Obama

“You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest…” — Barack Obama[13]

“I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” — Barack Obama[14]

I just don’t want anti-Semite racist in the white house.’ Like Nixon or Ronald Reagan or Dick Cheney, who moved to Wyoming so he would never have to see a black guy or a Jew ever and still run for Vice-President of the United States?
