Offensive Quote Match-Up!
Join former United States Senate Pages Dylan and Ethan Ris as they bring you the dish on not just the presidential race but all the exciting triumphs and disgraces inside, outside, and below the Beltway!
Know Your Racist History! In the wake of our controversial non-eulogy of Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), the Pages would like to offer up a quiz on disgustingly offensive statements made by American politicians of the past 100 years.
Match each bigoted quote with its author, and then click on the bottom of the page to reveal the answers. The winner gets a write-in vote on the ballot to replace anti-immigrant Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who is retiring to become a Minuteman!

| 2. "You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." | B. President Woodrow Wilson |
| 3. "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I’m going to use that word." | C. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) |
| 4. "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy." | D. President Harry S. Truman |
| 5. "We didn't do too well with the animal vote, did we? Isn't it the animals who live in these projects? They're not our people." | E. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) |

SWEET!! I got it right!! Oh man, this is the BEST quiz. Ever.
Even in the form of omission, hateration exists. This quiz drips with outright discrimination against the good Rev. Jesse Jacksonation. It needs elucidation and pontification. Resuscitation and amendation. Off, off, air commentation leaked by the questionable retardation of the Foxination. Causing tear drops of blondination on the Viewation. More than mere castration. I call for a march towards the secret seventh answer on this multiple guess examination. Amen.
see? who says these guys only go after republicans? 2/3 of these guys were dems... although some were democrats before the south went republican. But it doesn't matter, does it? racism is racism, and party lines don't matter.
Move your Big Gulp and quit cheating Biden. Umm... did Jesse fuck up again today? I think they're shooting Birth Of A Nation II -- The Afterbirth.
This was like a brilliant updated pop quiz on great book I read years ago: A People's History of The United States by, Howard Zinn.
