Just a week after Alaska Rep. Don Young used a fabricated President Lincoln quote during the Iraq escalation debate on the House floor, Cannonfire blog has found more newfound Lincoln quotes, (warning, a few are tasteless) including:
"They fired on Fort Sumter? Invade Canada!"
- Abraham Lincoln, 1861
"The Log Cabin Republicans give me a bad name."
-Abraham Lincoln
"The Confederates will greet us with magnolia blossoms and pralines."
-A. Lincoln
"Four score and...uh, er...........won't get fooled again."
-A. Lincoln, date uncertain
"The real reason I started the Civil War was that I had issues about my father."
- A. Lincoln
"Pull my finger."
- A. Lincoln, Second Inaugural
Meanwhile, David Swanson, co-founder of the AfterDowningStreet.org coalition, reminds us what Lincoln really did say, and when, in a Truthout article.

You are correct. Those quotes weren not from Honest Abe but from his best friend Jefferson Davis. You can quote me on that!
