Guys this is obviously a joke. I seriously doubt that the POTUS would quote Monty Python in support of anything.

Secondly, Captain John Parker didn't say what was quoted in the article.

The article claims he said - Turn tail and run. Don't fire even if fired upon. If they mean to have a war, let it begin somewhere else.

He actually said - Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.


ALSO at the bottom of the page it clearly says-
Editor's note added Friday, April 27: In less than four days, this article has gathered more internet hits than anything else we've published on this website. We're amazed, however, at how many people don't recognize the article as parody -- political satire -- and instead take it seriously. Reversing famous quotations ("If they mean to have a war, let it begin somewhere else [instead of 'here']"? Using a Monty Python song? Mayor "Bloomingidiot"? Come on!
