THE ORIGINAL "CLAP LOUDER"???

If not the original, at least a precursor of modern day BushBots, Louis de Saint-Just:

We must not only punish traitors, but all people who are not enthusiastic. There are only two kinds of citizens: the good and the bad. The Republic owes to the good its protection. To the bad it owes only death.
