Kristol: Obama Is ‘The Opposite Of Lincoln,’ Would Have Been Pro-Slavery

Yesterday, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) announced his candidacy for president in Springfield, IL, where Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous “House Divided” address. In his speech, Obama reiterated his call to redeploy U.S. forces out of Iraq by March 2008.

This morning on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol attacked Obama’s Iraq policy, saying he wants to appease terrorists like pro-slavery politician Stephen Douglas tried to appease slave-owners. Kristol said, “Obama’s speech is a ‘can’t we get along’ speech — sort of the opposite of Lincoln. He would have been with Stephen Douglas in 1858.”

Stephen Douglas supported the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857, and took the pro-slavery position that each territory should decide whether or not to allow slave-owning. (Think Progress)

Do you agree with neocon icon, William Kristol, that if Barack Obama, an educated, black Northerner, had been alive before the Civil War, that he would have been pro-slavery?

Yes, I'm sure Obama would have been pro-slavery
No, that doesn't seem likely
I'm a necon. Of course he would have, de-de-de!!!!

Barack sure put John Howard in his place when he asked how many Australian troops he was willing to commit.

It's just empty rhetoric spewed by those who have nothing intelligent to say.

So you're in favor of slavery, then, as long as the local government approves it?

Kristol is a raving asshole.

New Girl:

The whole "states rights" controversy was over the "right" of Southern states to maintain slavery. In that context, there is no separating the two.

And no, I don't support big government control. I would, however, expect the federal government to abolish slavery.

Thank you, mojo, for saying that for me.

Slavery in the South was abolished by the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. The States' Rights movement preserved slavery.
