Dogs in the Manger
Warning: More Hate Speech from W. Churchill

By MICKEY Z

Alert O'Reilly...send word to both the limo liberals and the Soldier of
Fortune crowd...Pataki, Zahn, and Hannity take note...we have another
repugnant quote from W. Churchill:

    "I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the
manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not
admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been
done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do
not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a
stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that
way, has come in and taken their place."

Oops...my bad. That wasn't Ward Churchill who said that. It was Winston
Churchill. Sir Winston Churchill. The man U.S. News and World Report called
"The Last Hero." The legend who also said this: "I am strongly in favor of
using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes." The icon/terrorist who
asked British scientists to cook up "a new kind of weather" for the
citizens of Dresden.

Do you think the good folks at Hamilton College would get any death threats
if they invited Sir Winston to give a talk?
