Gov. Quinn: Conservatives are "a bunch of haters"

Do you remember "Peace and love?" Are you old enough to remember the 1960s? Besides Jan Schakowsky's intimidation comments made last night at Chicago's Heartland Cafe, which by the way is owned by two former Students for a Democratic Society radicals, Governor Pat Quinn made some radical comments of his own.

Quinn said, "We cannot allow the right wing, all of those people on cable TV who don't wish the president any good at all. They’re a bunch of haters…"

Feel the peace and love...

Drinking the SDS tea, governor?

Where was the strong rhetoric from Quinn in 2002 and 2006? Oh...wait...he was Rod Blagojevich's running mate in those years.

Pat Brady, the chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, released the following statement:

I can understand Pat Quinn’s frustration that he has failed at his job as governor, but to start blaming conservatives who question the President or who care deeply about how to solve Illinois' $13 billion deficit is the height of arrogance. They’re not haters, governor. They’re citizens, they’re people, and they’re voters.
