		<description>I&#039;m at the point where I cant believe anything I read or hear from either party about the other or from any media source. Everything seems to resonate bias. I cant believe that says that any american could really be willing to put the troops in harms way for any agenda no matter how passionate the accusation. Does anyone else feel that both parties are picking each others words apart to make the other look unpatriotic?</description>

		<description>Never said it was the same thing.  In fact, if you look back, I made a point afterwards of saying it&#039;s NOT the same thing.  But it&#039;s at least a plausible notion, whereas FactCheck&#039;s article makes it pretty solidly clear that Lincoln would never have expressed a sentiment anything like the one expressed in Waller&#039;s &quot;quote.&quot;</description>

		<description>I hate to go there, but the Jefferson quote seems to fall into the &quot;fake but accurate&quot; category.  Here&#039;s an actual Jefferson quote:

&quot;The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.&quot;

Not exact, but along the same lines.  As for the Lincoln quote, the factcheck article does a good job of not just proving that the quote was false, but that Lincoln more than likely would never have endorsed any of the sentiment behind it in the first place.

http://www.factcheck.org/article415.html

Waller&#039;s article, which asserted Lincoln&#039;s position, was riddled with errors in the first place:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Even without the quote marks, Waller&#039;s article still suggests that Lincoln might have said it, or that the words sum up his policies. But we find little evidence that Lincoln endorsed anything so extreme as executing members of Congress for any reason, let alone for merely &quot;acting to damage military morale.&quot; We also discovered that Waller rests his case in part on a material misstatement of fact, and also on a serious historical error.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
