recently  heard this from some anti-HP people, and could not find any 
quote like that.  I don't believe she said anything of the kind, but 
I would like to prove that!

Someone is probably quoting the satire article on HP from the 
satirical newspaper, The Onion, as if it were reality. There's a long 
discussion at beliefnet.com on how some groups have mistaken The 
Onion for fact.
