U.S. Congressman calls for war critics to be hung

U.S. Congressman calls for war critics to be hung

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Don Young on Thursday added his voice to the speechifying about President Bush's Iraq policy and bolstered it with what he thought was the voice of President Abraham Lincoln.

The man who Young quoted, though, was not the nation's 16th president but a professor at a Washington, D.C., graduate school.

"I'd like to make a quote," Young began after being granted his five minutes on the House floor. "'Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.'"

The quote, Young said, came from Lincoln, "who had the same problem this president had with a very unpopular war, the same problem with people trying to redirect the commander-in-chief."

However, the words Young attributed to Lincoln were written by J. Michael Waller, a professor at the Institute of World Politics. They metamorphosed into the illegitimate Lincoln quote on Dec. 23, 2003, in a column that Waller wrote for Insight, a conservative weekly magazine published by the owners of the Washington Times.

Waller, contacted Thursday afternoon, said a copy editor at the Times put quotes around the words, making them appear to have come from Lincoln.

What if the "team" is wrong?

**** this ****. **** this senator. They don't live in my America. People in power like this, deserve to swing in the breeze themselves IMO.

While I agree with your premise about those that are elected to office and the choices we have, they are only doing what they think is right. So is the other side. The other side is just going about in the erong way and trying to undermind the efforts of our troops in harms way

There is a right way to do it, and a wrong way.

Simple solution for that. Take our troops out of harm's way. It's
not like they are accomplishing anything anymore in Iraq anyway.
They are just basically targets in a macabre game of Whack-A-Mole.
Now the insurgents have even figured out a way to shoot down
helicopters. So far 8 have been shot down in the last month. Not good.

Sorry brah - They don't want to do what's right. If they did, we wouldn't be in the jams we are.

You want to keep playing the left/right game - fine - your game. I've checked out along time ago.

keep waving your flags, especially the white part!

Grow up. I am not playing left or right. I am playing me. And while I don't always have the time to spell things out. When our leaders take steps like non-binding resolutions to make a political statement against our troops...I have a problem with that. Either cut the funding..or not.

Blah blah blah - more talk. You keep playing their game, and you don't even see it. It's a ****ing game to them man - when people like you take the stance of one side or the other - and don't pay attention to the actions of those in power and see they support each other - i charge people like you with Seditious actions, ****ing cowards in this country.

You want to know who the traitors are whom you support:

Not going to be quiet. That would be a crime.
**** that congressman and anyone who agrees with him. I think it is time to stop talking to these idiots. Grab them by their ankles and pound some sense into their brainwashed heads!

Garcia Bronco · 02-21-2007, 08:45 PM

like I said.....grow up. You are no different than the rest of us. So when you come down off your meds and would like to discuss this in a rational way.....let me know. I'll be delighted to discuss this with you.
