SuperGrover Runs Afoul of Godwin's Law
Quote:
Grover Norquist sez
NORQUIST: No, the morality that says it's OK to do something to do a group because they're a small percentage of the population is the morality that says that the Holocaust is OK because they didn't target everybody, just a small percentage. 'What are you worried about? It's not you. It's not you. It's them.'

Cf. Rush Limbaugh about blacks ("They're 12% of the population -- who cares what they think?").
Not sure I have that quote exactly right, and the research involved to do so would be distasteful.
