It truly is astonishing what the Right has done to Lincoln's legacy. In addition to the claim that he was America's first dictator, I've seen attempts to reclaim his name for white supremacy. There's just no rhetorical move to stupid or evil to prevent them from making it.
I know! Those were the days. On the plus side, since the whole thing is about 2 weeks old, another strong week should get me back on track. I promise much thanksgiving related fun.
