League Of The South Official: Booth Didn’t Kill Lincoln Soon Enough

Posted by | June 27, 2015 17:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Radio Interviews


Pat Hines, head of South Carolina’s League of the South chapter, told me on radio he wants his state to be its own country, run and populated by white people. And he said John Wilkes Booth didn’t act quickly enough to kill Abraham Lincoln. He went way beyond earlier comments that removal of the Confederate flag is “cultural genocide.”

COLMES: Now the League Of The South in April had an event celebrating the assassination of President Lincoln.

HINES: That’s right.

COLMES: You support that?

HINES: Yes I do.

COLMES: Why?

HINES: He was the most murderous, treasonous President that ever existed.

COLMES: So you honor the actions of John Wilkes Booth?

HINES: John Wilkes Booth was a Confederate agent, who sadly, he didn’t fulfill his mission for almost 2 1/2 years. But he was assigned to kill Lincoln. And it’s too bad that he took as long as he did to do it.

COLMES: You’re upset that it took John Wilkes Booth as long as it did to kill Abraham Lincoln?

HINES: Yes.

COLMES: Why would you favor the assassination of an American President?

HINES: Well he was an United States President. Well, he was Commander-in-Chief, which makes him a legitimate target immediately.

COLMES: Is any Commander-in-Chief a legitimate target?

HINES: Well they are.

    HINES: Well they are.

    Secret Service, are you paying attention?

    • Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2015 at 17:27

      No, they’re out having drinks again.

      • Roctuna June 27th, 2015 at 18:09

        Or chasing hookers. Or both.

        • Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2015 at 18:16

          It’s like they aren’t even trying since Obama took office.

          • burqa June 27th, 2015 at 21:13

            Yeah, I think they should just go ahead and make Mickey Mouse ears part of the Secret Service’s uniformed division’s uniform.

    I wonder if he considers himself a patriot?

    • allison1050 June 27th, 2015 at 20:09

      Ya know he does and also considers himself a “good christian”.

  3. Chris June 27th, 2015 at 18:20

    Hopefully the Secret Service people can drop whatever illegal activity they are engaged in at the moment and pay this fruit loop a visit.

    Lincoln should have just let the damn South secede, they would be a 3rd world country begging for our help and the rest of us would all be better off.

    • KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker June 27th, 2015 at 20:19

      They’re mostly welfare states today as they take many more Federal dollars than they contribute…..and have for decades.

    • burqa June 27th, 2015 at 21:11

      Had he done so, slavery would have remained legal in the U.S., too.

    • The Original Just Me June 27th, 2015 at 21:47

      If the South would have seceded, where would Walt have put Disney World ?

    • Roctuna June 28th, 2015 at 09:06

      I’ve often thought that if the south had seceded, through war or other means, that within a generation the confederacy would have disintegrated into so many separate countries. Each dominated by different religious factions, trade rules and militias. It would be like having multiple Bosnia/Serbias at our southern border.

  5. burqa June 27th, 2015 at 21:17

    Not only is the man a dunce, he has the history wrong, which is to be expected, because, after all, he’s a dunce.

  6. ExPFCWintergreen June 27th, 2015 at 21:23

    What Lincoln needed was more Sherman

    • Warman1138 June 27th, 2015 at 21:25

      Sherman and Sheridan.

    • burqa June 27th, 2015 at 21:46

      Really?
      You endorse war on civilians?

      How………………………………………modern………….. big ISIS fan, too?

      • ExPFCWintergreen June 28th, 2015 at 09:10

        Inasmuch as there is no such thing as war without “war on civilians,” I take it as it comes (cf, Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 3, Scene 1). That civilians suffer as a consequence of war is tragic — and inevitable — and I feel no more sorrow or pity at the suffering of Southerners than I do at the suffering of Germans between 1942 and 1945. As Britain’s Arthur “Bomber” Harris put it, they sowed the wind and then they reaped the whirlwind. As has so often been shown, one reason this country has undergone 120+ years of argle-bargle (if one may appropriate a Scaliaism) with the South is that the South — unlike similar existential threats in Nazi Germany and militarist Japan — was not comprehensively defeated. If Lincoln and his successors had had half the cojones of FDR and Truman, I think it’s safe to say much that followed Lee’s surrender would have been quite different.

        • burqa June 28th, 2015 at 15:40

          Yes, it is true that civilians are always impacted by war.
          What you fail to understand is that we have evolved in what is acceptable when it comes to war. We have numerous laws and have standards that we did not have when poison gas was used, or when cities were carpet-bombed.
          You also fail to see the difference between war in which civilians are impacted tangentially and when they are deliberately targeted.
          One wonders if, when you were a PFC, whether you were ever told that killing civilians is illegal and will earn you a cell in Leavenworth.

          During the Civil War, the Union strategy evolved to where it became a war on civilians. The Union army not only attacked the Confederate army, but it also made war on civilians.
          I am typing this in downtown Fredericksburg, Va., where the Union artillery was set up all along Chatham Heights and they opened fire on the town. They were not shooting at military targets, they were attacking civilians.
          Troops were recruited with the promise that they would have a free hand looting the South and they pretty much did. Their strategy was to not just attack the Confederate army, but to steal all the food and starve the people into submission, as well as destroying their homes and carrying off everything of value they could.
          Shoot, I know of at least one occasion where the Union army marched into a town in Northern Virginia that was populated by Quakers who supported the Union. They turned out to cheer the troops as they marched into town, but the cheering died out as those same troops set about burning down those people’s barns and began carrying off all their livestock and grain, including the seeds they were going to plant the following year.

          Reconstruction was pretty much ended years before Cleveland was elected president.

  7. Warman1138 June 27th, 2015 at 21:23

    Well Mr. Hines if you think Booth didn’t act soon enough, I don’t think God has acted fast enough to scrape your kind of hate off the skin of the world.

  8. tracey marie June 27th, 2015 at 21:40

    Wow, he needs to have a visit from the ….hell just send his racist and violent ass to gitmo.

  9. BillTheCat45 June 27th, 2015 at 22:57

    Spoken like someone who’s side lost.

  10. Mike_Norris June 27th, 2015 at 23:29

    A genuine piece of shit…

  11. liberalMD June 27th, 2015 at 23:48

    When I hear comments like those of Mr. Hines, I think that losing the Civil War just wasn’t enough disgrace for some of the southern states. Maybe they should secede and form their own nation just to prove they are really dependent upon the other states for a relatively good standard of life. They would no longer wallow in federal subsidies and have to prove themselves.

  12. greenfloyd June 28th, 2015 at 02:08

    I blame the “Southern” education system, nonetheless, Hines is a drop-out… and treasonous!

    From his words I concluded he is a declared enemy of the United States of America, fire-up a drone. Pull his mic, don’t give him a platform from which to spew his hateful message.

    Indeed the USA needs to re-invade parts of the South, with an army of “Community Organizers,” social workers and psychiatrists.

  13. AnthonyLook June 28th, 2015 at 04:48

    Well there you have it. An insulting “in your face” to President Lincoln and all of America; from descendants of the confederacy; nothing short of traitorous talk. Uber racism speaking for the South. The Southern ABUSE of “LENIENCY” demands that it must come to an end. This is American soil, we don’t let the ancestors of our Civil War enemy dictate what honor is a must on American soil.

  14. dgenzle2001 June 28th, 2015 at 07:51

    South Carolina, too small to be a republic too large to be an insane asylum.

  15. Darksnark June 28th, 2015 at 08:22

    Is there really any reason why this self-declared domestic terrorist shouldn’t be immediately detained and shipped off to Guantanamo Bay – or at least the nearest nut-house?

  16. William June 28th, 2015 at 09:36

    Just sayin’

  17. robert June 28th, 2015 at 18:52

    doesn’t this jackass know Lincoln shot back
