Lopsided Lincoln: Lincoln may have had facial defect

I don’t see Lincoln as being bad looking at all. Look at his eyes.

But I do go for rugged looking men.

I knew where you were going :p Just wanted get in a dig into the Mittfans about how stately and Presidential he“looks’

I'm not a fan of bullMitt. But looks matter today. You have to look like a President. This could be to our advantage when it comes to Hillary and Obama.

Todays “doctors” cannot correctly diagnose todays “patients”.

How do they think they can diagnose depression in Lincoln from this distance?

More medical community rubbish, IMO.

This is the same group—the CDC — which cannot find millions of dollars worth of their hard assests..... and who sponsored a “transgender beauty pageant.

What a wonderful and responsible usage of the taxpayer money.....

Why is Lincoln “great”? Because he was incapable of averting a war that killed 500,000 Americans? Because he ended self-government in a whole region of the United States?

Looks do matter to a point. Hey , I live in California and voted for a Republican Movie Star ( Arnold) and look what I got stuck with! His Kennedy Demonrat, Glamorous wife is running the state!

Any like Kennedy, he never lived long enough to show just how "great" he could have been :)

and, this is important, Why?

[tajgirvan]

Lincoln saved the Nation from disintegration and helped put a stop to slavery. The words, Mercy, dignity and honor for his oppenents come to mind.

You sound like a reporter.

Lincoln deliberately, and with great skill, painted Jeff Davis into Coffin Corner, where he could either fight or back down. Davis was too much the "Suthron Gentleman" to back off, with the Fire Eaters yapping at his heels.

It is interesting to think of what the War would have been like if the all but a few of the Regular Army Officer Corps had not been Democrat, and opposed to latching on to the Confederate Army until it surrendered or was wiped out.

I suspect Lincoln is great because, unlike 99% of our "leaders", then and now, he was not in politics for the money,

Why did this story come out? I read it, and for the life of me I can’t think of a reason. It’s got to be a smear of some sort, I can usually figure the libs out, but this is puzzling. What an odd thing to say about our greatest President/National Treasure. I see his face, and I perk up and wish we had a cloned army of him(s).

[JayAr36]

Cussing at me will get you nowhere.

[PAR35]

In Dixon’s The Clansman (the basis for the movie Birth of a Nation), Lincoln was listed as ‘A Friend of the South’.

[Patriotic1]

I thought the 1846 picture was not definitively confirmed to be him.

[AnAmericanMother]

Ears don't lie. Then there's the chin, and the cheekbones. Noses change, but the bone is the same.

I wouldn't bet the farm, but I'd bet a steak dinner any time.

[HIDEK6]

he was one of the best Presidents this Country has ever had.

Time for the Brylcreem guy (Jeez, not this s*** again).

[fieldmarshaldj]

Everytime I see that controversial 1846 photo, I think he resembles the one-time James Bond, George Lazenby.
