From American Thinker:
PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe
Barack Obama has gone to Congress asking for more money to spend. The President, in a rambling and tedious exercise mixing blame with demands, made quite a few dubious statements in laying out the case for Congress to vote for the plan which as yet does not exist. Much like Obamacare, Congress must ultimately vote for the bill to know what is in it.
At one point Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.
Lincoln did not join the Republicans until 1856, over two years after the party was founded. The first Republican convention was held in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854.
Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.
Actually, they did more than yawn; government-funded PBS has altered the transcript of the President's speech, removing the offending comment.
The New York Times transcript has the following quote:
"We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party. But in the middle of a civil war, he was also a leader who looked to the future -- a Republican President who mobilized government to build the Transcontinental Railroad -- (applause) -- launch the National Academy of Sciences, set up the first land grant colleges. (Applause.) And leaders of both parties have followed the example he set."
But how does it appear in the PBS transcript?
"We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. But in the middle of a Civil War, he was also a leader who looked to the future - a Republican president who mobilized government to build the transcontinental railroad; launch the National Academy of Sciences; and set up the first land grant colleges. And leaders of both parties have followed the example he set."
So PBS has purposely altered a transcript containing a major gaffe by the President.
Orwell's 1984 has arrived.

Today I tried to comment about the Israeli embassy attack on Brietbart.com as follows:
"In Mohammedanism moe is; 'a most perfect example for conduct'. This is universally recognized by all Mohammedan sects period, no argument.
Moe is described in Mohammedan scripture (Koran and Hadiths)as engaging in the following: Murder, torture, rape, pedophilia, incest, terrorism, genocide, etc.
He is also described as a vile anti-Semite so they are just imitating his example."
I originally used the term sh*t, but eliminated it.
They wouldn't publish the comment.
That's very interesting. I am finding that all commentary on all the "islamic victim" stories that abound this week are being deleted or not allowed. I am also being kicked off blogs and newspapers for simply expressing my views. I am being very careful in not using profanity, but still my views are not welcome. You must view mohammudism as a benign ideology that is being victimized or you will be silenced? Very scary.
