I don’t know what more he (Lincoln) could have done, nor what more he could have given up beyond his life. And I’m not even necessarily a big Lincoln fan.

What the heck? What’s with the sitting, standing comparison?

I really hate this nit-picky and stupid article. So she misspoke. So what? She’s an amazing Christian woman and anti-abortion campaigner. I’m sure she knows Lincoln didn’t sign the Declaration of Independence.

I don’t know how much I’d read into this. People make stupid comparisons in speeches and get carried away with metaphors and rhetorical tricks like the “sitting” vs. “standing” metaphor based on the respective statues. I’d simply take this as a warning to not be “too clever by half” in your public speaking.

I think she must be a cousin of Michelle Bachmann’s.

Martin Luther King....the man stood for many things, one of them was peace. Go to MLK street, road or boulevard in any city in this nation and try to find the peace.

Maybe for her, the Emancipation Proclamation is the Declaration of Independence...
To: Winstons Julia
Lincoln sat to sign the Emancipation Proclamation and King stood up for civil rights...or something like that.

Out of fairness, I have to at least say that a confusion between Declaration of Independence and say, the Emancipation Proclamation could be confused, at least in the spirit of the intents.
That said, I'm sure one of her more educated staff could point his out - if she had any 'educated' staff.

Some people just shouldn’t speak in public.

Btw, while I don't think this is what she was getting at, you can read that Civil War blacks used to think of the Emancipation Proclamation as their “Declaration of Independence.”

Well, Lincoln would have said, and did, that the EP was just an extension of the DOI.
Lincoln was largely responsible for bringing the DOI back into public consciousness as an aspirational document for the nation, as opposed to the nuts and bolts Constitution, which other than in the Bill of Rights has little to say about what the government should stand for.

I know that she’s right. He took a copy of the existing declaration and signed his name to it. I was there when he signed it.

Sometimes Glenn Beck over-thinks things to the point he loses some important brain cells. Ms. King is a dedicated Christian and anti-abortion crusader, I doubt she would do or say anything to belittle Lincoln. Beck obviously doesn’t know who she is.
