Chris Matthews: Not Since Abraham Lincoln Has Someone 'Caused' Strife Like Sarah Palin
newsbusters.org ^ | June 2, 2011 | Scott Whitlock

According to Chris Matthews, Sarah Palin is the most divisive figure since Abraham Lincoln "caused" the Civil War. In an odd historical analogy, the Hardball host marveled at Palin's bus tour: "Leading off tonight, civil war on the right. Not since the election of Abraham Lincoln has a Republican caused such a war."

The anchor frothed, "Sarah Palin went right to New Hampshire, serving as a human grenade, blowing up his announcement by saying Romney's health care is a total violation of Tea Party beliefs."

Hey, Matthews outed himself. He said Lincoln started the Civil War.

Personally I think that Michelle B is the better choice but Sarah really knows how to push the liberal’s buttons. It does almost seem like the two; Sarah and Zerobama, are destined to meet at the polling booth.

What is really ticking me off is the way so many talk radio jocks are saying that the Republican field doesn’t stand a chance against zero. The election isn’t about personalities it is about policies and the timeless principals that made our country great.

Matthews served in the United States Peace Corps in Swaziland from 1968 to 1970 as a trade development adviser.

Hmmm, is that like a community organizer?!

Of course LINCOLN WAS NOT. The situation had been festering for the previous 3/4 of a century ~ the issue was that Europeans had imposed slavery on America, and now it was time to literally throw off the shackles.

Alas, your typical Europhiles in those days weren't exactly like the Eurotrash ski lodge folks but they were Europhiles to the degree they'd rather hold people in slavery so they could keep the price of cotton they sold to Europeans low.

If they'd been pro-American there'd been much less of a problem. Too bad so many had to die.

How utterly foolish of Chris Matthews to add himself to the list of Confederates.

Somehow, I don’t think that putting Ms. Palin on the same level as President Lincoln is the sort of comparison that Ms. Palin would seriously object to other than, perhaps, to say that she really hasn’t quite earned such a high and distinguished honor yet.

Whoa, what jocks?

Rush has been right in saying that 0bama is extremely beatable.

What's "0" going to run on?

High unemployment?

High gas prices?

High food prices?

High utility costs?

Record home foreclosures?, etc, etc!

The 0bamabots are a lost cause, but if the so-called "independents" remember in November of 2012, 0bama is toast. and we're all racists..:=)

I have to admit that Bachmann and Palin are quite a lovely pair...very photogenic...I'm sure that's driving the fuguglies and the feminazis totally nutz>

We've never seen a presidential primary race with a credible good-looking articulate woman up against a bunch of men. That dynamic should work to either Palin's or Bachmann's advantage, as the guys would treat the lone lady with extra deference. But the presence of both of them in the contest together would split up their natural support and work to the disadvantage of both.

Both Palin and Bachman have a lot to offer the race, but won’t they cancel each other out politically?

Au contraire, bon ami! I think that that if both of them wound up on the ticket, the women would rally behind them, even if they liked one more than the other, and likewise with the guys. They both seem to be on the same page on everything, the only difference being that one is still in office and the other is not.

I can't imagine that the libtards and feminazis would be able to trash both at the same time. Howz' 'bout Bachman/Palin . . . Actually, I prefer Bolton/(and either Bachman/Palin)
