Fair enough, one quote deserves another...
"Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." - William Jennings Bryan
Bryan was not arguing against gold or sound money. He was arguing in favor of a bi-metal currency backed by both gold and silver. I know of few (if any) sound money advocates who would have an objection to that.
