Scuze me, but the Henry Clay ideology which Lincoln followed had a 50yr record. I haven't read Bassler's book, but I'd take DiLorenzo's word for it over Quakenbush any day of the week. Quakenbush and Richard Fererir(sp?) are trying to build an organization built on Lincoln. When they seen him attacked, well it's only natural for them to throw a hissy fit.
Here's another example of DiLorenzo's exalted scholarship, from page 246 of "The Real Lincoln.":
Lincoln "made many speeches throughout his political career denouncing the way in which the Constitution stood in the way of the American System."
Somehow, he omits to cite or reference any of them.
