Fake Lincoln quote enters congressional record (video)

As the House debates whether to nominally oppose the escalation of the war on Iraq and to support the troops, a "nonbinding" resolution, Alaska's sole congressman, Don Young, rose to oppose it, quoting (video right):

congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saab tours and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.

The Republican believed (giving him the benefit of the doubt) that he was quoting Abraham Lincoln.

He was not. He was actually quoting a mistake from Insight magazine -- a publication full of half-baked claims and rumors -- funded by Rev. Moon.

1. Time for another entry, then.

Time for another congresscritter to read an explicit correction of that false quote into the Congressional Record!

2. Exactly right!

This should become habit. The Congressional lies have been left alone for far too long. It's time to make corrections wherever necessary!

It is pretty cool that this is on record though! All lies should be a matter of record and subsequent correction!
