Don Young (R-Douchebag --Alaska) advocates hanging Dems
who vote against the war in Iraq. And to do it he uses a phony quote that Abraham Lincoln never made:

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged"

YouTube of the Traitorous Congressman:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvOVJHsD1Ss

Don Young got the phony Lincoln quote from a Wahington Times (I know you're shocked) Op-Ed piece by well known traitor and NeoCon douchebag, Frank Gaffney, who got it from an obscure article in Insight magazine (another Moonie fraud rag of Obama/Madrass fame). The writer of that article says it was Insight's editor that created the quote not him, the phony quote was actually debunked last August only to resurface again now.

For full background read this DU thread on the Gaffney article:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x263123

And Glenn Greenwald's blog at Salon--Neoconservatives hate liberty as much as they love war:

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/02/14/neoconservatism/index.html


After being informed that the Lincoln quote is a phony, Young has graciously agreed to stop attributing the quote to Lincoln, but he continues to "totally agree with the message of the statement" but then Young's spokesman also says, Rep. Young was "not advocating the hanging of Democrats" (neverming that that is the message of the statement)

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2007/02/honest_it_wasnt_abe.html

Don Young is a fascist and should be arrested on charges of terrorism against the United States Congress. I'd recommend that we shove this up the hindquarters of every Republican and newsmedia outlet in the country. C-Span should get hundreds, if now thousands of calls about this, additionally they should be given grief anytime they read a MoonieTimes article on the air, it's credibility is utter crap now. Grind the bastards down.

1. There are two ways to tell if a neoconservative is lying
1. His lips are moving.

2. There is printed verbage beneath his by-line.

2. Don my friend you are SO in the minority. Your hate, evil and sociopathy just wont pass mustard
at least today while we are still somewhat humane and connected.

3. Well I hear Senator Allen has a noose in his office
Oh wait, we threw his ass along with most of the other GOP slime out. Too bad that they didn't take Don Young with them.

4. So, we should have hung...
those in the Continental Congress who tried to get Washington fired and refused to fund his army while he was at Valley Forge.

The rather large contingent against our involvement in WWI, including Bryan, Wilson's Secretary of State who resigned when we entered the war.

Republicans who bitched and moaned first about Lend-Lease and then about FDR's handling of WWII.

The huge Republican contingent who bitched and moaned about Truman and Korea.

Everyone who complained about Viet Nam.

This bullshit from these people gets tiring after a while.

5. Really?
Dems should make the minority party sit in the cloak room on stools, then see how sassy they are.

6. This is the next step in their plan
first call Dems traitors
then suggest lynching
then do it

That is what I fear might happen. I've watched Muslims being demonized and have seen scattered outbreaks of violence against Muslims and Muslim property. Once you give carte blanch to hate, it just keeps going. First the Muslims, next the Dems. That's what they'd like to have happen.

7. Lovenstein, anyone?
Hey, the repukes went into a media frenzy when someone used a fake "study" as basis for Bush's IQ ...

And now Young uses a fake quote as fact? Bill Press got into a lot of flak with the crayonic righties because he admitted that he was taken in, but still thought it was right ... Don Young says "Oh, the quote's not real? I still stand behind it!" and the righties line up for the vanilla ice cream that he says comes out of his butt ...

8. Obama tells the truth and apologizes
Young lies his ass off and challenges anyone who objects.

See any difference here? See any difference in the way the media report the two events?

9. This is why I worked SO HARD to get him ousted
last November. He is an embarrassment to the good people of Alaska who keep voting for him out of habit, not any real knowledge. He makes me very ill.

10. See my answer to your post in the Alaska forum, Blue -
He more than makes me ill. I think we should wrap him and Uncle Ted up in a tarp and strand them on Attu.
