Obama flubbed his history. Via Ed Morrissey, Obama inaccurately called Abraham Lincoln the founder of the Republican Party:
Not true! Doesn’t Obama know history?
So now the media will erupt for weeks on end about what an “idiot” and “fool” and “know-nothing” Obama is, just like it erupted over Sarah Palin’s (accurate) comments about Paul Revere?
It’s even worse, because Palin’s (accurate) comments were made in an on-the-fly interview whereas Obama’s were in a prepared speech.
And all the enlightened conservative pundits who bashed Palin endlessly over Revere now will denounce Obama’s historical ignorance, right?
I know, I’m talking to myself again.
Update: Sarah Palin may be the one liberals have been waiting for
Update 9-10-11: NPR PBS has edited out the Lincoln error from its transcript of the speech (h/t Instapundit).
