(*sigh*) Take down one myth and even more pop up. It never ends.
"however, that he was a blood thirsty, war mongering tyrant who discarded the Constitution and invaded another nation"
---Boy you're asking for it LOL He did not, however, invade any nation --- he reunited one!
"He could be on tape raping young boys and the Lincoln worshipers would say it was necessary to free the slaves."
Adios Red Troll Phillips. You stank!
Indeed they would. There is no limit to the extremes that Lincoln idolaters will go to in order to justify and defend their hero.
A few months ago I posted conclusive proof that Lincoln used armed guards to illegally detain a federal appeals court justice from attending a case in which he was set to rule against the Lincoln administration on a habeas corpus case. Outraged at the forcible detention, two other judges on the circuit court issued a contempt judgment against the military officers who had harassed and detained their colleague...and along came Lincoln once again, _personally_ intervening and illegally ordering that the contempt notice be seized from the US Attorney before it could be served!
Confronted with this evidence, the Lincoln cultists went into full denial mode. Capitan_refugio even posted a wholly unsubstantiated and gratuitous slur against the justice who had been detained - falsely accusing him of being a confederate agent or sympathizer or something without even so much as a single shred of evidence! They were faced with Lincoln doing the indefensible and, being unable to admit that he did something wrong, they tried to justify and excuse it.
