- Yeshuas, on 03/03/2008, -0/+9Ron Paul right again!
- jsb199019, on 03/03/2008, -1/+8http://rawstory.com/rawreplay/?p=356 (this makes me sick)
Order Tim Russert and especially msnb forgive Ron Paul on their Abe Lincoln comments! Digg the hell out of this: Spread the message far an wide! Get back for our man! - PongGod, on 03/03/2008, -2/+9Seeing the tyrant Lincoln as #1 was enough for me to see how absurd this ranking is. Given that, having the idiot Bush on the list actually makes sense.
- NeoConned08, on 03/03/2008, -1/+8THe same thing is going to be said about Ron Paul being right when the economy comes crashing down around everyones head. I, for one, cannot WAIT for a full blown depression to occur so American's will get their head out their ass and understand that Warfare+Welfare = Isolationism & Bankruptcy.
- carter1955, on 03/03/2008, -0/+7Again as always Ron Paul was telling the truth, but it seems that the truth is not what the American people want to hear, they want to hear what can the government do for me
- ChimpFlix, on 03/03/2008, -3/+10I believe Ron blamed Lincoln for not buying the slaves off to avert the looming war, but Lincoln's note suggest he DID want to buy off slaves... yet he ultimately did not. Why didn't he? Was his hand forced by pro-war forces within the government? I am not a Lincoln historian... any illumination from the learned folks here?
- vincebodie, on 03/04/2008, -0/+6Once again, the truth comes out after the damage has been done to RP. What's next, the old media saying "This just in - the NAFTA superhighway IS a reality!"...? LOL
- jsb199019, on 03/03/2008, -2/+5When Ron Paul takes a shower, he doesn't get wet the water gets ron paul!
-----------------------------------------------------------> http://rawstory.com/rawreplay/?p=356 - jsb199019, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2Well you see if slave rights were his main priority Abe would have done what's mentioned in his letters. Just buy off the slaves! But he didn't, because slaves weren't his priority. Just like Ron Paul said when they all made fun of him. There is a lot more to the Iraq war than terrorism, as there was a lot more to the civil war than freeing the slaves. You may even argue that these were not even primary motives for either. But the sheep always want to stay in La La land and believe in magical stories that make them happy.
- RPliberty, on 03/03/2008, -4/+5I cannot digg this article (even though I want to) when Bush is listed as the 10th best President of all time. See picture gallery
- DeepFriedFetus, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1Unfortunately, that's nothing to be lol-ing about...and it'll probably sound more like this: "The proposed NAFTA highway will create millions of jobs and strengthen our international relationships!"
- ChimpFlix, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1And your spelling puts you in the sub-12 year old category, "Bingo"...
Also, where did you manage to pull out of my statement that I thought the Civil War was 'about slavery'? Lincoln put the military into action to maintain the Union. From the Southern point of view, yes, it was about slavery.
People such as yourself force Digg conversations from a path of intelligent discourse to one of head on collisions with drunken idiots. - jsb199019, on 03/04/2008, -0/+0http://digg.com/politics/MSNBC_Abraham_Lincoln_Let ...
- adonajko, on 03/03/2008, -2/+2I meant to positively thumb your comment. Sorry, I hit the wrong button.
- jsb199019, on 03/04/2008, -1/+0How ironic, the same story featured on the MSNBC site : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23434604/
No way they can deny it now! E-mail bomb!

Hows this all relevant to Ron Paul you ask? Watch either of these two videos to refresh you memory first:

Takes 5 minutes. VIVA LA REVOLUTION! - jsb199019, on 03/04/2008, -1/+0damn I clicked thumb down instead sorry!
- inactive, on 03/03/2008, -4/+2Actually, the note suggests it was CONSIDERED. Not that he wanted to. Are you really so stupid as to think that decisions like this aren't discussed so thoroughly that pretty much EVERY different possibly solution is considered and discussed at some point?
Asfor hte "fporced by pro-war forces in the government" hilarity..are you under the impression that the Civil War was about slavery? I guess that makes seinse, since most Ron Paulians are 12 years old and that is what they teach in 7th grade. - Hortnon, on 03/03/2008, -13/+3Well, he stumped you, so what's that say about you?
- reed311, on 03/03/2008, -15/+4Well, for one, the slave owners didn't have to accept the offer.
Also, the slave states weren't required to end slavery immediately and had 20 years to do so... under that proposal. The act of keeping other human beings as slaves is despicable and needed to be ended immediately. Ron Paul claimed that slaves should be governed under "property rights", which is absolutely mind-boggling how he could refer to other human beings as "property". Though, it doesn't come as much as of a surprise give the kind of crap he allowed to be published under his name for 20 years.
