I saved this Lincoln quote from somewhere. Perhaps a Freeper post. Then perhaps not. I simply saved it.
Lincoln quote:
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.” -Abraham Lincoln, 1858

“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it.” -Abraham Lincoln, 1862

They wouldn’t have done that on purpose, would they?

[keats5]

LOL. My liberal sister-in-law was mortified when she learned Lincoln was Republican.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the WaPo — which is the ‘prominent’ source there.

We’re they corrected?

[Secret Agent Man]

being a libtard media whore means never having to apologize for getting facts totally wrong, as long as it smears your enemies and advances the liberal agenda.

[Howindependent]

Are you serious? MSNBC admit to being wrong?

George Wallace would be a very conservative republic if he were alive today.

George Wallace would be a very conservative republican if he were alive today. No way he would have stayed in party that has turned into anti-God, queer loving baby killers.

[metafugitive]

George Wallace was a populist who had some great lines about Washington elitists.

He loved to call Gubmint types pointy head intellectuals.

He railed against Big Gubmint and taxes by saying that a taxpayer throws his tax dollar across the Potomac and Uncle Sam throws back a nickel.

Those who don’t study history are doomed to vote Democrat

Now all we need is indestructible bumper sticker material and paste them on Obama supporter's cars.

He also said there was not a “nickles worth of difference in the two parties”.
