"You know, I've been around the ruling class all my life, and I've been quite aware of their total contempt for the people of the country. And the Republican machine became so good at transmitting its own feelings about the world to the enemy, to the liberals, once anyone, any of the right wing hear what I just said, he'll say, "Oh, the liberals have always hated America. We know that. They despise family values, because they're only interested in gang bangs and drugs and so forth." This is the way they deal. And whenever they have a real coward for president, like Bush himself, and you have a hero like Kerry, "Oh, he's a coward. Didn't you know that? We've got five guys who were in Vietnam with him." What they do is whatever is their transgression, whatever are their faults, they lie and apply it to the other person. That confuses everything."
