"...Hofer ist schon tot, und zwar so was von tot!(...) Wen interessiert dieser Hofer schon, gähn!? Ein ideologischer Reaktionär im patriotischen Mäntelchen! Frömmler! Was hat er der Welt heute noch zu sagen? Was hat er ihr als Botschaft hinterlassen? Wäre er nicht erschossen, würde nicht mal ein Tiroler Hahn mehr nach ihm krähen! Mehr habe ich dazu nicht zu sagen!" (eine Sächsin)
