• It's pretty standard fare in political discourse. You misconstrue what somebody said. You isolate a statement, you lend your interpretation to it and then feign moral outrage. And Democrats have been doing it for years.

• It's fine to talk about politics with people you agree with. But it is rude to argue about politics with people you disagree with. Political discourse becomes isolated, and isolated discourse becomes more extreme.

• As a source of innovation, an engine of our economy, and a forum for our political discourse, the Internet can only work if it's a truly level playing field. Small businesses should have the same ability to reach customers as powerful corporations. A blogger should have the same ability to find an audience as a media conglomerate.

• Si uno escucha el discurso político actual en Estados Unidos, pensaría que todos nuestros problemas han sido causados por los mexicanos, los chinos o los musulmanes. La realidad es que nosotros hemos causado nuestros propios problemas. Todo lo que ha sucedido ha sido causado por aislarnos o culpar a los demás.

• I think the reason you see so many people dropping out of politics is because there's an anti-poetic strain in modern political discourse.

• ¿Sigue siendo el discurso político un mero griterío de opiniones sobre cuestiones subjetivas y candentes, basadas en una comprensión deficiente y una ignorancia a ultranza sobre las que nunca se podrá llegar a acuerdos?

• If we ban whatever offends any group in our diverse society, we will soon have no art, no culture, no humor, no satire. Satire is by its nature offensive. So is much art and political discourse. The value of these expressions far outweighs their risk.

• Two truths are all too often overshadowed in today's political discourse: Public service is a most honorable pursuit, and so is bipartisanship.

• Hemos entrado en una era orwelliana en la que el derecho sustituye a la responsabilidad, la coacción se describe como compasión, la redistribución obligatoria se llama reparto, las cuotas raciales sustituyen a la diversidad y el suicidio se prescribe como "muerte digna". El discurso político se ha corrompido por completo. La razón es que si le dices directamente a la gente que quieres subirles los impuestos, transferirles su riqueza, contarlos por el color de su piel o dejar que los médicos los maten, la mayoría se opondrá. Los estatistas lo saben y por eso se ven obligados a ofuscarse.

• I've watched politics for years. Republicans rarely get credit for the good things that happen in the economy during their watch. Democrats always get more credit than they deserve. They are just better at political discourse that we are.

• And let no one suppose that I claim that just living can be taught for, in a word, I hold that there does not exist an art of the kind which can implant sobriety and justice into depraved natures.  Nevertheless, I do think that the study of political discourse can help more than any other thing to stimulate and form such qualities of character

• Like most terms of political discourse, socialism has more or less, lost its meaning. Socialism used to mean something. If you go back far enough it meant basically control of production by producers, elimination of wage labor, democratization of all spheres of life; production, commerce, education, media, workers control of factories, community control of communities, and so on. That was socialism once. But it hasn't meant that for a hundred years. Socialism meant something different.

• When I was younger, I used to be very impatient with anyone who wasn't doing overtly political work. I've since come to feel that some writers have an appetite or a need for the political, for political discourse, for historical political subjects.

• Cuando miro a los republicanos, siento la tentación de tacharlos de Partido de la Traición. En serio, si una banda de traidores inventara una serie de posturas deliberadamente diseñadas para debilitar a Estados Unidos, les costaría mucho superar el dogma actual del Partido Republicano: obstaculizar la educación, matar de hambre al gobierno reduciendo drásticamente los impuestos a los ricos, amputar los intentos de reactivar la economía fijándose en la deuda, invitar a las corporaciones a dominar el discurso político, balcanizar a la población demonizando a las minorías y a los inmigrantes y dejar que las religiones favoritas dicten la política social.

• Much of the left's hate speech bears greater similarity to a psychological disorder than to standard political discourse. The hatred is blinding, producing logical contradictions that would be impossible to sustain were it not for the central element faith plays in the left's new religion. The basic tenet of their faith is this: Maybe they were wrong about their facts and policies, but they are good and conservatives are evil. You almost want to give it to them. It's all they have left.

• Creo que la prensa, en general, es lo que llamamos "liberal". Pero, por supuesto, lo que llamamos "liberal" significa bien a la derecha. "Liberal" significa los "guardianes de las puertas". Así que el New York Times es "liberal" según, lo que se llama, los estándares del discurso político, el New York Times es liberal, la CBS es liberal. No estoy en desacuerdo. Creo que son moderadamente críticos en los márgenes. No están totalmente subordinados al poder, pero son muy estrictos en cuanto a hasta dónde se puede llegar. Y de hecho, su liberalismo cumple una función importantísima de apoyo al poder.

• The dominance of [an ideology] is shown by the fact that the dominated classes live their conditions of political existence through the forms of dominant political discourse: this means that often they live even their revolt against domination of the system within the frame of reference of the dominant legitimacy.

• Politics isn't something that really interested me; I, of course, care about what's going on in the world, but so much of political discourse now is not necessarily about doing what's right.

• Virtually all political discourse in the days of my youth was devoted to the ferreting out of hypocrisy... Because they were hypocrites, the Victorians were despised in the late twentieth century. Many of the persons who held such opinions were, of course, guilty of the most nefarious conduct themselves, and yet saw no paradox in holding such views because they were not hypocrites themselves-they took no moral stances and lived by none.

• Se desarrolló un nuevo lenguaje de neutralidad racial para apelar a los viejos sentimientos racistas, un lenguaje acompañado de un movimiento político que consiguió poner a la gran mayoría de espaldas en su sitio. Los defensores de la jerarquía racial descubrieron que podían instalar un nuevo sistema de castas raciales sin violar la ley ni los nuevos límites del discurso político aceptable, exigiendo "ley y orden" en lugar de "segregación para siempre".

• Why is one view permissible and the other criminally barred - other than because the force of law is being used to control political discourse and one form of terrorism (violence in the Muslim world) is done by, rather than to, the west?
