You know, the real hell of this article is that I was having a discussion about historical revisionism just this weekend, and honest to God, I concluded with, "The next thing you know, they'll make Abraham Lincoln gay or make Thomas Edison into a bisexual."

That came up after the recent attempts were made to make Alexander the Great out to be bi. This weekend, the History Channel ran a hit-piece on Benjamin Franklin, essentially asserting that he was the Hugh Hefner of the 1780s.

Some dude just wrote a proper, politically-incorrect History book, I understand. I don't have the name in front of me, but I caught the tail-end of a discussion on the radio today.

Aha!

I got so worked up over the prophetical nautre of my statement, that I forgot to point out that the labeling of any prominent individual that ever contests democrat orthodoxy a gay is nothing new by the left.

Ann Coulter noted the treatment of J. Edgar Hoover in "Treason', as a matter of a fact. She also noted that they very rarely do it to living people, however. It was one of her catchier quotes, although it's a bit racy to employ here I think.

Typical leftists. Thay can't really argue intellectually anymore, so they resort to basal labeling or to attacking dead people. Dead people can't defend themselves.
