while i don't really think this statement is anything to be worried about or apologized for, it is just another example of a politcian saying things that get the politically simple riled up but don't necessarily reflect anything in reality.

similarly, i've read a lot of blanket statements and ridiculous indictments on this thread... but there is nothing that could possibly back most of them up. don't get bent out of shape if someone calls you a nazi or communist if you're willing to call the leader of the free world an embezzler, crook, or anything else that you can't backup.

just because you heard some guy on tv say something extreme, or just because you want to believe it doesn't make it so.
