This was from NOVEMBER OF 2005. This is why I'm called the "captain." Additionally, I'd like to point out just what a traitorous slob Ted Kennedy is.
So JFK stands up to the communists during the Cuban Missile Crisis only to have his son (?) conspire with a communist for political gain.

What's sad is the poor people of Boston are not going to see through this farse and think that Chavez and communism are great things. Little do they realize that Venezuelans have seen their standards of living decrease since Hugo came into power and the same would be in store for them if communism were enacted here.
I'll also bet two things;
1. Liberals and democrats will patronize Citgo as Hugo pulls off more and more attention-getting stints like this.
2. Conservatives and Republicans are so placated in their suburbia cookie cutter world, they're too stupid to boycott Citgo.

I don't understand the American fascination with the Kennedys. It's some kind of bizarre liberal hero-worship based on a whole bunch of myths. But this just goes to show that left-liberals are willing to be perfectly treasonous when it suits their ideology, just like they were back in the old days of the USSR. It really disgusts me.
The cowardice of our leaders in the face of such individuals, unwilling to be just a little bit harsh of their "colleagues," is perverse. God forbid that somebody might be offended!
You know as well as I do that it's even worse in universities. Originally, I did not support any of David Horowitz's attempts to clean out the insane leftist professors, but after experiencing it first hand (at a relatively moderate university), I have to say that I do support him now.
Quote of the day:
“Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale or undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.” – Abraham Lincoln
Rambling comment, yes. Sorry about that. It's just that all these events are interlinked.
"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale & undermine the military are saboteurs & should be arrested, exiled, or hanged." - President Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln never said this. Ever. This quote is a fabrication of Dr. J. Michael Waller who first wrote it in 2003 shortly before the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth gave it life in 2004. How pathetic has the Republican Party become that it insults the reputation of America's finest Republican president for their political gain?

I have two original King & Baird pamphlets in my collection, the identical pamphlet Waller sites as his proof, "TRUTH FROM AN HONEST MAN". Lincoln never wrote anything like this ... here, or anywhere else.

And Handcuff is traveling the internet delivering the same canned message.
Not even original. The fact is, Lincoln LIVED the phrase which is why it's widely accepted and attributed to him. If I find where he actually said it, I'll make sure to broadcast it to the world.
Too many revisionist historians out there, and I'm sorry I don't accept Factcheck.org as the final say on everything.
It was created as a place for liberals who can't think for themselves to be fed socialist drivel.
It's real. Snopes had it. And if you're not "going to believe that" well then what can anybody do to convince you of anything.
wake up, sleepyhead.

I can't say enough good things about what Brooks Jackson did with my original TRUTH FROM AN HONEST MAN pamphlet I loaned him.
My great, great, grandfather, who I am named in honor of, made the supreme sacrific for our country in Lincoln's Union Army serving Stonewall Jackson his only defeat in the Civil War.
Diana Irey has "cut&run" from her use of this Lincoln quote. Write her "handler" at bill@irey.com and ask him.

UPDATE:
http://factcheck.org/article415.html
This is the origination of this Lincoln "quote":
http://www.arthuravenuebronx.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1472
that ran in INSIGHT magazine
http://www.insightmag.com/
... which is part of News World Communications (see bottom of page in link above) a wholly owned political mouthpiece of the Unification Church, the "Moonies".
http://www.mediaowners.com/company/newsworld.html
I wrote Diana Irey offering her documented proof of what Lincoln never said, CCing all her campaign staff on, first on July 14th, and again on August 4th.
http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:c2Ea_lZbzXgJ:community.cnhi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4871074/m/664107374+%22Rovian+Architecture+Unplugged:+The+Waller/Romerstein+Edition%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&ie=UTF-8
I wrote her, and her staff, repeatedly warning them of the consequences of their inaction. If you'd like verification, write her campaign manager of record (Bill Pascoe, former Press Secretary of the RNC, is calling the shots behind the scenes) at jason@irey.com and ask him about my repeated warnings.
If you choose to write, use this as the Subject Line "It's showtime.". He'll know exactly what that means.
When all these efforts failed, I contacted factcheck.org with this very same evidence. Brooks Jackson was able to see what Ms. Irey, and her entire campaign staff refused to.
He published this, last Friday:
http://factcheck.org/article415.html
(note the video clip in the top right corner)
I will leave you to your own moral compass for judgement regarding Bill Pascoe's "within hours" response here:

In conclusion, it warrants mentioning how this "Moonie" Lincoln quote came into common use, without any questions to its authenticity.
Use Google to do a search for this quote. Go back 10-15 pages and you'll find the older dates of its use. You'll discover it was the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth who brought this fiction to life within weeks of Dr. Waller's article.
You will find Larry Bailey of bootmurtha.com has dusted off this Moonie quote and is using it for his "Revival Tent Pass the Collection Plate" scheme, all over the net, including this gem written the chairman of Bailey's PAC, in which it is used twice, for emphasis:
http://www.thereaganwing.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PagEd&file=index&page_id=538
It's no accident that Diana Irey was boons-waggled into using it.
Bill Pascoe and Kelli Phiel are the folks Robert Novak refers to as her "handlers" in this article:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15820&o=ENPR003
"Irey, who looks quite young, is a bit green, but her handlers see her as great raw material."
I'll give a dollar to anyone who can decipher the grammar, syntax, period occurring in the middle of the sentence, and random capitalization that occurs in the last sentence of this article.
If you are unfamiliar with who Pascoe and Phiel are, let me introduce you.
Pascoe is the gent who hung tough with Jack Ryan, even after Dennis Hastert rightfully withdrew all GOP support for him in 2004, when Ryan was exposed for insisting his wife go to sex clubs with him and have sex in public.
""Jack Ryan is in the race to stay," said Bill Pascoe, Ryan's spokesman."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0406250361jun25,1,933334.story
Pascoe also the one who called Alan Keyes and convinced him to move from Maryland to Illinois, to replace Ryan. I'll let you Google that, and for Kelli Phiel's history working with Pascoe in the 2004 election.
I wish I could tell you I hadn't warned Diana Irey repeatedly about her "handlers" past, but that would not be true.
Buzz Patterson used this "Moonie" quote at a chapter heading in his book, Reckless Disregard. If you own a copy, check page 65. He was not the only retired military man to adopt this Republican operative's invention. Ollie North did too:
http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0974579335&id=dQipO2AmNrUC&pg=PA113&lpg=PA113&dq=oliver+north+lincoln+%22congressmen+who+willfully%22&ie=ISO-8859-1&sig=fBfOMtFSxlavNGKBMbFtreMEwfo
Least you wonder about my interest in all this ...
My family settled in what is now the 12th District of Pennsylvania in 1820, and have lived there ever since.
My great, great grandfather, after whom I am named in honor of, served in Lincoln’s Union Army. He made the supreme sacrifice for our country on March 23, 1862, serving Stonewall Jackson he only defeat in the Civil war.
Lincoln was, to borrow a title, “A Uniter”
When some goofball Republican operative abuses the reputation of our greatest Republican president, in a Moonie publication no less, for the expressed purpose of political gain for today’s Republican Party … it troubles me.
I suspect it will trouble you, too.

For late breaking cat-herding news regarding these noodlehead Republicans:
http://community.cnhi.com/eve/forums?a=userposts&sortType=1&u=679108164
Big Teddy K is JFK's brother, not his son. And you hit the nail on the head when you compared the two. Polar opposites. If JFK were alive today, he would have switched parties.
And yes, I have been boycotting CITGO for a while, now.
We all need to work together to make Chavez suffer the consequences of
his speech. No one should be able to walk onto American soil and
insult our Commander in Chief.
Please visit my website to read more about the Citgo boycott and
another organization who is coordinating efforts as well. Click here for more details.
I heard that the other oil companies buy their gas from Arab countries which use them to fund terrorism. The companies buy them indirectly from Iran, Saudi Arabia, and even Libya through third party distributors. 3% of US oil comes from Colombia, the most bloody violator of human rights in Latin America. Saudi Arabia, which has the biggest oil reserves in the world, gives its profits to the "royal family," which includes Bin Laden. What is the $50 million fund for the new martyrs I saw on Free Republic?

Is this worse than a Venezuelan president who conflicts with the Bush administration over globalization?
The corporations who move to Venezuela don't like it now that the government is regulating them to make them pay decent wages. And if Latin American countries paid people decent wages, Mexicans would not be pouring across the border, and jobs would not be pouring out of America. As I understand it, Chavez's main disagreement with the Bush administration is over globalization and sweatshops.
www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=4601
As you know, Venezuela's president is not the first to criticize Bush. Do readers extend their boycotts to French products? (perhaps) And there are some countries who would not joke that Bush is the devil- they believe it! And that is where the other oil companies are getting their oil from!
Buy oil from Citgo, whose president criticizes Bush, or from the Middle East and fund terrorism? The choice is yours.
