[Peace-discuss] Phony quotationism strikes again

[Szoke, Ron]

I have a little history with this stuff.  A few years ago I was sent a supposedly horrifying "quotation" from Pelosi -- something that sounded favorable to socialism, as I recall, with no mention of the source.  I replied to the senders with a promise to send my personal check for $100 to the first person who could prove to me that she had actually said it -- of course with appropriate documentation of where & when it was said, to what audience, etc.  There was no response other than one pathetic note saying that she was awful anyway. 

I remember posting a few weeks ago a reference to a small book titled _They Never Said It_, a collection of supposed "quotations," mostly from liberal-lefty writers, that the compilers were unable to find anywhere in their published works: FDR, Marx, Lenin, etc.  Apparently these passages were expected to be horrifying in revealing the true, secret motives & agendas of those "quoted."  I don't have the book before me at the moment.
