 * German Tour Guide: Besides its beautiful, historic architecture, Munich was the home of many great writers, such as Thomas Mann. You will find more on Germany's contribution to art in the pamphlets we've provided.Brian: Yeah, about your pamphlet... I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap.Tour Guide: Everyone was on vacation! On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15...Brian: Wait, wait. What are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and...Tour Guide: (screaming frantically) We were invited! Punch was served! Check with Poland!Brian: You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany.Tour Guide: No, no, he left to manage a Dairy Queen.Brian: A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous.Tour Guide: I WILL HEAR NO MORE INSINUATIONS ABOUT THE GERMAN PEOPLE!! NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!! (yelling in German language like Hitler)- SIE WERDEN SICH HINSETZEN, SIE WERDEN RUHIG SEIN, (raises his hand in Nazi salute) SIE WERDEN NICHT BELEIDIGEN DEUTSCHLAND!!! (translation: You will sit down, you will be quiet, you will not insult Germany.)Brian: (hesitantly) Uh, is that a beer hall?Tour Guide: (cheerfully) Oh, yes! Munich is renowned for its historic beer halls...

 * Stewart; Stephen, what do you care about what Geraldo and O'Reilly say about us? What, what are you...? Colbert: What are you implying John? That O'Reilly and Geraldo are narcissists enthralled to their own overblown egos, projecting their own petty insecurities on to the world around them, inventing false enemies for the sole purpose of bolstering their sense of self-importance; itty-bitty Nixons minus the relevance or a hint of vision? How dare you!

 * Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding."

 * ...And today in sports, a black man somewhere ran with a ball and jumped with a ball and threw a ball and people got really excited as if they hadn't seen it a million times before.
 * The Boondocks, 3/12/2005
 * You know we are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk[ed] about AIDS when it was just being whispered and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular...This academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when Blacks were still sitting in the backs of theatres. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy. I'm proud to be in this community, I'm proud to be out of touch."
 * George Clooney, 78th Annual Academy Awards

Women Issues

 * The political arena is dangerous and cutthroat. It requires an offensive, aggressive posture, which, when assumed by males, comes off as a strong resolve of character. But when women adopt a similar posture, when they participate in politics with the same vigor as males do, I have too often seen the reaction to be one of disdain. The bottom line is that an aggressive male politician is viewed as a leader, while an aggressive female politician is viewed a bitch. I've been called the same for holding strong political views, as if the uterus inside me somehow requires silence or at the very least muted acquiescence to the world around me.

 * [Winfrey] will not, she said, support music that marginalizes women. You think maybe she could have been referring to that rap video where a credit card is swiped through a woman's backside? Or to any of the hundreds of other videos where women are treated as props and accouterments? Or to the ones where they are addressed in terms normally reserved for prostitutes and canines?"

LGBT isues

 * Social frats are just a group of gay guys who have to prove to the world they are not gay by beating up or insulting other gay guys while having sex with every woman they meet in order to prove how heterosexual they are. I mean whenever a frat guy comes to a party, he immediately asks "Where are the bitches?" maybe because they are afraid what they would do if there were only guys in a room. And frat guys are more likely than an average guy to have anal sex maybe its because they are ga...nah!

 * 'As long as you do not see heterosexuals behaving in this manner, gays will not be considered equal, no matter how many pansies you pin on.'Huh? Ever heard of Spring break? Mardi Gras? Strip clubs?You don't need to look too hard to see straights "behaving badly."But one time every year when the gays act crazy or naughty or weird or whatever, you get all bent out of shape.

Politics

 * And just because liberals oppose racism, want to limit poverty, support regulated capitalism, it doesn't mean that we can always overcome the powers that stand opposed to those things.Read history, Rush. Liberals are ALWAYS right in the end, and the populace always ends up embarrassed that it didn't embrace those liberal ideals earlier.

 * There is no single, simple key to peace - no grand magic forumula to be adopted by or two powers. Genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts.
 * John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963
 * I have said this consistently; the country is run by extremists because moderates have shit to do.
 * Jon Stewart

Dissent

 * To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
 * Theodore Roosevelt
 * Pete, my producer, is a Mets fan. He loves the Mets. But he may not like the manager, he may not like the team, he may not like a player, he may not like a decision, a trade, or whatever it is but that doesn't mean he has lost his allegiance to his team. If you don't like what the President is doing, you are un-American wheras if you don't like Willie Randolph, you are not an un-Met.
 * Michael "Lionel" LeBron

Bill O'Reilly

 * It started on the Internet where you have a bunch of people there who assassinate people; say vile things about people; threaten people every single day. Then, it morphed into radio. And you know who these people are. I don't have to -- I don't have to name them for you. You know who they are. Where everyday, they just spew hatred, vitriol, defamation on the radio. And now, it's in cable television. It's in cable television.You got a couple of people on cable news programs that do this every night of the week, and the big companies that employ them are the companies that should be held accountable
 * Bill O'Reilly talking about Al Franken but ironically everything he says applies to himself too.

Religion

 * "I've begun worshipping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate."
 * George Carlin


 * Atheism is not a religion. I have never seen atheists standing on street corners, waving pamphlets and screaming at passersby. I haven't seen the Temples of Denial scattered throughout the suburbs. I don't have atheists knocking on my door and asking for a moment of my time. Atheists have never walked up to me in airports, shoving leaflets in my hand and demanding payment for their propaganda. Atheists do not have tv shows where they cry for donations to help spread the word of atheism.

Environmental

 * It's not that you are questioning man's involvement [in global warming], but catagorically[sic] denying it. As I've said before, my shitting on the livingroom floor may not be the cause of the fly infestation, but my wife has asked me to curtail the activity, none-the-less. So what if pollution is not contributing to warming? Does that make pollution a good thing?
