"In a surprising moment of candor, the Weekly Standard's Matt Labash told an interviewer:
The conservative media likes to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We've created this cottage industry in which it pays to be unobjective. It pays to be subjective as much as possible. It's a great way to have your cake and eat it, too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It's a great little racket. I'm glad we found it, actually."
On Black Republicans:
"Reeves went on to describe some of his experiences as a black Republican. 'As a Bush delegate at the 2000 convention in Philadelphia, I proudly wore my delegate's badge and Republican National Committee lapel pin as I worked the convention. Regardless of the fact that I was obviously a delegate prominently displaying my credentials, no less than six times did white delegates dismissively tell me to fetch them a taxi or carry their luggage.'"
On the "Death Tax" (taxes on inherited income):
"It is arguably more moral to tax an incredibly rich person who is dead than a middle- or working-class person who is still alive. The living person might use the money for medical care, food, travel, or other things that dead rich people don't have to think about."
On Evangelical Christians:
"Evangelical Christians fervently support the survival of Israel in order to fulfill the prophecy of the Second Coming, which, of course, will lead to the fiery death of all Jews."
