RE :”If DiLorenzo said that the sun rises in the east I wouldn’t believe him.

I hope this didn't convince you to join the Teacher union protesters in WI.

My comment had nothing to do with Wisconsin. It comes from what I know about DiLorenzo's Real Lincoln. In the 12th edition of Irving Copi's standard university logic textbook, this Lincoln biography is cited as the example of "fallacy of accent", a "deliberate distortion" where a change of emphasis is utilized to distort original meaning. Sadly this misleading book has made many people distrustful of anything written by Mr. DiLorenzo.
