Here we go... another endless FR debate. Round up the usual subjects.
"South Carolina is too small to be a Republic, and too large to be an insane asylum." -- James Petigru, 1860
Proving once again that in addition to all of their other character deficiencies, lefties have no sense of humor.
I admired Graham during the impeachment proceedings against Boy Clinton, however, since being elected to the Senate he seems intent on currying favor with the elites by calling for tax increases and seemingly siding with Sen. Specter on judicial nominations. Graham, at this rate, will be a single-term Senator.
I'm not a Southerner, but I can't see anything that could be considered even remotely offensive about his comment. This is a controversy?
who gives a $hit, the civil war has been over for nearly 140 frikin years!!!
Move on!!!!
"Senator Lindsey Graham...referr[ed] to his state’s difficulty in 'getting over' President Abraham Lincoln, with apparent reference to Lincoln’s role in the civil war and the freeing of American slaves."
I'm going to guess here that the Senator isn't mad that Lincoln freed the slaves, but that he completely devastated the South in doing it. Don't forget that Sherman's basic war strategy was to burn down any building standing south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Get over it
Get over it

Get over it, get over it
And them Georgian's still got their panties in a bunch!
Lindsay Graham MAY want to be a little careful---I don't know how his fellow Republican senators feel about him, but I know that a lot of FReepers---me especially,---have not been real happy with him lately---
He has been waaaaaaaaay too squishy and Rino-y, so I won't be as quick to excuse him as I might say a John Cornyn remark---
I, too, would like to read the total speech before making up my mind on this---
Great googly moogly! The DNC can bite the cheese. He was joking, and the joke had nothing to do with race. In case these people don't remember anything about history, there was a war. South Carolina was on one side and Abraham Lincoln was on the other. That's what he was joking about.
The sustenance supplied to the armies of the south was in large part agricultural products. Destroy that produce and you shorten the war by depriving those armies of the means of existence. Shortening the war saved lives.
I think a lot of southerners have some Irish blood in them.

Even worse, Scotch Blood and Welch blood also
"who gives a $hit, the civil war has been over for nearly 140 frikin years!!!
Move on!!!!"
Having been born in NC and lived 18 years in SC, now residing in GA, I couldn't agree more!
Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, fan, huh?....lol
Wouldnt surprise me, Vicksburg's Conferderate commander surrendered to the city's Union besiegers on July 4th.
