"Yes, I'm a socialist, but I hate bad socialism. And there is plenty of bad socialism out there, just as there is plenty of bad capitalism out there, [...]" -- Lawrence O'Donnell, referring to his dislike of agriculture subsidies, on the MNSBC television program The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, 2011-08-01 (video link)

Later in the same passage: "So my full truth is that I'm as much a capitalist as I am a socialist but since we live in the only mature country in the world where socialist is considered so dirty a word that noone dare admit to being one, I feel more compelled to stand up for the socialist side of me than the capitalist side of me." Followed by clips of Bill Maher on the same topic.
