The local Moonie paper ("Moonie" as in the cult, the cult owns the paper) that the Republicans are all in bed with here in DC the other day printed a false quote that they attributed to Abraham Lincoln. The quote was used to bash Democrats who oppose the Bush/McCain escalation policy in Iraq.



Putting aside the irony of a lie being used, again, as the basis for sending our soldiers to die in Iraq, now that it's been proven that the quote is a fake, Republican members of Congress are still using it in their public speeches, and the cult's newspaper won't print a correction.



I'd like to say that I expect more of GOP congressmen than I expect from a cult, but that isn't really true. More from Editor & Publisher.
