Political Quotes

“We should not use the bankruptcy law to shield purveyors of violence. We should close this loophole. Six defendants in the Nuremberg files web site case filed bankruptcy to avoid their debts under the law. This web site depicted murder weapons with dripping blood and advocated the killing of pro-choice physicians and public figures. Indeed, as some of these people were killed, their names were crossed out on the web site. Why should somebody who is sued for this kind of violence, purveying this kind of violence, be allowed to go to bankruptcy court and say, ``See ya, I'm home free''? Dr. Barnett Slepian, who was murdered 2 years ago in Buffalo on October 23, 1998, was on this heinous Internet site. After he was murdered, his name was crossed out. If I can make a personal note, when Dr. Slepian was murdered in upstate New York because his name was on the Nuremberg files web site, within days they determined the chief suspect was a man from Vermont. In fact, there is now an arrest warrant out for him. I mention that also not just because I am from Vermont, but when I checked the Internet file, I found that along with this man's name, my name was there. I was listed as one of the people who should be shot and killed. I take that a little bit personally, especially when the FBI are now looking for a man from my State who is suspected of shooting and killing one of the people whose name was on that list with mine. Dr. Slepian's name has been crossed out.”
