Political Quotes

“The amendment that I had hoped to offer was an amendment that would have brought balance to this debate in which all of us have a sense of outrage and revulsion at remarks that were made at Kean College, but many of us also have a sense of outrage and revulsion at remarks made by a Member of the other body recently in which black people were referred to as darkies, Hispanics were referred to as wetbacks, and Africans were referred to as cannibals. I think that, in order that we have some balance before us, not to even mention the issue of free speech which is legitimate, that is why I wanted to offer this amendment, and I regret that the gentleman would not accept it.”
