[Yarikoff]

There are other untrue comments in the quotes given here, but the two above are the only ones that are unarguably false. nonsense, and they would still be true even if a republican said them. Yes, they are nonsense, and you are correct that it wouldn't matter who said them. But the underlined passages were unarguably false. There are others that were also false, but looking at things from a hard-core partisan standpoint (like yours?), the resulting arguments to the contrary wouldn't be worth it.
