Better a self styled linguist than a pedanterast!

"pedanterast" Very good. I'm gonna steal that. Soon.

Yeah, a self-styled linguist who can't verb his nouns from his predicament adjectives [sic].

As I told you, fool, don't wander into even more territory with which you are unfamiliar. Haven't you humiliated yourself enough?

yep, they never bother to question what the Brit (DailyCaller) or the Aussie (Murdoch) or the Arab (Prince Alwaleed bin Talal) spoon feed them. Sad.

How come the OP capitalized "Gettysburg" but not "ken burns"?

Are they tranny letters?

There are five known copies of the Gettysburg Address. As I listened to Obama reading the Address, it became obvious he was reading John G. Nicolay's copy.

Nicolay was Lincoln's personal secretary.

This is most likely the copy that was actually read at Gettysburg, you idiot fucks. The second half of it, which is the part in dispute in this topic, was written on the grounds of Gettysburg.

not according to the AP reporting that day

many papers carried the speech

Historians do believe that Lincoln honed the address in later drafts after he delivered it, but there is little disagreement about whether Lincoln uttered the words “under God” when he spoke at Gettysburg.

“Every stenographic report, good, bad and indifferent, says ‘that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom,’” wrote historian William E. Barton. “There was no common source from which all the reporters could have obtained those words but from Lincoln’s own lips at the time of delivery.”

The White House did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.

Then the next obvious question is what atheist prick asked him to read the version that omitted 'God' (note the capital G) from the speech? And, the next question is why would a super intelligent knowledgeable man who has been compared to God agree to such a diss on his creator.

Then again, I guess this is just another one of those things that nobody told him.

How is this a "diss on his creator"? Explain.

When you're done with that, explain how not having the phrase "nation under God" -- when that nation is founded on religious freedom and therefore is specifically not under God -- disses a creator that wasn't there to start with.

He means the original author who left out the word "god" was dissing -

Or maybe he means Lincoln was dissing on god?

rw's are quietly slinking away to tell their lie someplace else.

fact is the AP reported that he said "under god"

and the only version signed by Lincoln contains the words "under god"

sure there are 5 versions

there maybe a 100 versions until one finds the right words

in writing a speech

i would say the one signed by him

would be the final product

What we have here is hysteria over the WORDS "under god". As if the world will blow up without them being mentioned. No.....we don't have godnuts trying to make us a theocracy....nope...not at all.

Yeah- reading a script. Typical.

It says something when a filmmaker puts together a special feature on the history of a country founded on the principle of religious freedom and some people, all they can do is complain that religion is missing.

It says something. Not sure what.

So now its a "final product".

rw's have no sense of US history. No love for went before except for how they can use it against their fellow Americans.

Yep. The GObP/pub/potties are selling us out to foreign countries and rw's know it and are just fine with it.

They support that effort in every way they can.

The rw's lie about it but they DO know the truth.

Whether you like it or not, this is how historians have regarded the Bliss copy. It's not my opinion or jb's.

It is the accepted opinion amongst historians.

Bliss Copy

Ever since Lincoln wrote it in 1864, this version has been the most often reproduced, notably on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

It is named after Colonel Alexander Bliss, stepson of historian George Bancroft. Bancroft asked President Lincoln for a copy to use as a fundraiser for soldiers (see "Bancroft Copy" below).

However, because Lincoln wrote on both sides of the paper, the speech could not be reprinted, so Lincoln made another copy at Bliss's request.

It is the last known copy written by Lincoln and the only one signed and dated by him. Today it is on display at the Lincoln Room of the White House.
