"I disapprove of what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it"

Hahaha this reminds of a Romanian politician who had returned to Romania after the revolution and wanted to become president. He was recognizable by his style of wearing a bowtie amongst a sea of ties. He used to utter this same quote to the people but it fell on deaf ears because people wanted products not rights. He never won and is all but forgotten even in the country he wanted to steer in the right direction.
