It's not the first time, but that cartoon from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease really doesn't make sense. Did Lincoln win the presidency using political donations from foreign citizens or something? Was he known for being especially opposed to the McCarthyism of the 1950s? Or was he just a huge fan of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1912? I seem to remember Lincoln actually being rather opinionated when it came to foreign influence in American affairs, and not exactly in favor. Plus it's a bit odd for an investors' paper to be so enthusiastic about a president who voiced approval of the view "that labor is prior to, and independent of, capital; that, in fact, capital is the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed -- that labor can exist without capital, but that capital could never have existed without labor. Hence they hold that labor is the superior -- greatly the superior -- of capital." - Jim Norris

This comic would have made (slightly) more sense if they replaced the statue of Lincoln with the Statue of Liberty. - Kevin Fox

Maybe when Emma Lazarus wrote of "the wretched refuse of your teeming shore" she was really talking about the Chamber of Commerce? - Jim Norris

There's zero proof to the Dems' claim of the CoC being foreign funded, I posted a link to that effect from FactCheck.org earlier this week. That said, it's not as if Republicans haven't brought some of that on themselves with their own vicious untruths about the admin - LANjackal

Paul: Don't be ridiculous. It's because he's really foreign. - Gabe

Actually, the fact that they receive foreign funds is a matter of public record - the debate is whether the funds are being used for political ads or not, & that's what we don't know. It's pretty clear that even if they put the foreign donations in a separate fund, that would free up other funds which could then be spend on ads, which is why Factcheck.org gave them a half-true. There's no proof that the money from the foreign companies was *earmarked* for campaign ads, but the CoC did certainly get foreign money & did certainly pay for the ads. - Mr. Gunn
