Nah, let's examine Moyers:

Continuing, here's where Moyers' speech got interesting:
I should point out to them that one of our boys pulled it off some
two-thousand years ago. [laughter, cheers, clapping]
After the Pharisees, the Sagisees, and Caesar's surrogates thought
they'd shut him up for good. I won't be expecting that kind of miracle,
but I should put my detractors on notice. They might just compel me out
of the rocking chair and into the anchor chair.
[loud, prolonged cheer]
Who are they? I mean the people obsessed with control, using the
government to threaten and intimidate. I mean the people who are
hollowing out middle class security even as they enlist the sons and
daughters of the working class to make sure Ahmed Chalabi winds up
controlling Iraq's oil. I mean the people who turned faith-based
initiatives into Karl Rove's slush fund, who encouraged the pious to
look heavenward and pray so as not to see the long arm of privilege and
power picking their pockets.
[loud cheer]
I mean people who squelch free speech in an effort to obliterate dissent
and consolidate their orthodoxy into the official view of reality from
which any deviation becomes unpatriotic heresy. That's who I mean. And
if that's editorializing, so be it.
Moyers went on to argue that the current political climate resembles
"George Orwell's 1984," quoting from the book at length.

You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the
economic injury incurred from that event.
It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.
Peace and justice,"

"At my age, I don't need balls. I'm done with the procreation stuff."
