Are the editors of Politico Magazine even aware of what they have previously published? One has to ask that question since a mere six weeks ago, that periodical published an article by Jack Shafer mocking the the notion of Beto O'Rourke idolatry in the media called "Stop the Press Before It Profiles Beto O’Rourke Again." So what did Politico Magazine do on December 1? It hyped O'Rourke as another Lincoln. I kid you not.
Before we dive into Beto as Abe idolatry, let us look at some excerpts from when Politico mocked such silly puffery provided by NewsBusters' Executive Editor, Tim Graham:

Go read his own web site...pure Socialist. Bigger gov’t, more regulation, more subsidies, higher taxes. Why would anyone who still has a neuron working vote for this guy?
stalinists lie. always
If you don’t worship Beto you are a racist.
Abe Lincoln was one of the most intelligent people our nation has ever produced. Beto wishes he could spell the world intelligent.
Politico and Newsweak are leftist shills
Because there are too many morons in this nation who’ve been conditioned to love Marxism.
Their memory doesn’t matter. They are appealing to the ignorant and expect it to work. And in most cases, it will work. Most Americans are ignorant of our history and as long as something sounds appealing, that’ what matters to them.
First he’s Kennedyesque, and now he’s Lincolnesque. Both were assassinated. Just saying.
No, Lincoln was a winner, Beto lost.
Uhhhh, Don’t go there. Lincoln lost more elections than he won. What Lincoln never was, was a fake. Irish Frank is a fake Hispanic.
When I think of the people in News Media and TV this is the people in School no one liked and mad fun of. Same thing different day
Beto rememmbers what it was like in 1860, surely.
Because they identify with a drunk driver who flees the scene after he hits somebody’s car - and gets away with it. And they picked the perfect state for that candidate.
Press Any Texas voter who pushed for the guy.
They get mad. They throw fits. But not one of them can look you in the eye and deny it either.
Texas is ever more strict about driving impaired and Irish Bob is the candidate picked to try to bring back the slap on the wrist.
No, they got the memo, and are now complying.
Dudes got an overview the size of Jerry Lewis’ chinaman teeth
“He could be another Lincoln”.
If he only had a brain.
This illustrates the sophistication the Left wing has gone to game of lying. These kids have gone from “the dog ate all the chocolate cookies” to “Beto is another Lincoln.”` They all need to be spanked with the hairbrush and sent to bed without their suppers.
