While I was at the hotel to-day an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. [Great laughter.] While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]---that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Charleston, Illinois, on Saturday, September 18, 1858
[cr] With regard to posting quotations from Hitler on FR, or smearing posters with nazi innuendo, would you like to put the question directly to Jim Robinson?
An accurate quote of Hitler or anyone else is acceptable. What is unacceptable is espousing or praising the doctrine therein, such as was done by the most recently banned brigade member. He was not smeared, he was quoting and espousing neo-nazi doctrine. The other thread where he was posting the same neo-nazi doctrine was also pulled in its entirety and none of us was on that thread at all. That clearly narrows down the reason the two threads were pulled.
We know your position. Anyone else?
Exactly. Keeping a record of what evil persons do and say is the strongest means of preventing their evil from emerging again.
Methinks our friend capitan is not so much offended by the fact Hitler was quoted as he claims but rather by the fact that Hitler's espoused views on the subject are so identical to his own that the two could be quoted interchangably without notice much as could be done with Wlat and Marx. He knows his buddy #3 was exposed as a flaming bigot and now he's afraid that his own leftism is showing through.
