Re: post # 70.

Great post Walt. I don't know what party these neo-rebs belong to, but that was MY Republican party in your post.

Thanks.

It does make you wonder why these morons would belittle Abraham Lincoln, that is for sure.

When a Mythology is fundamentally indefensible, the only way to defend it is to slander the opposition.

The neo-rebs aren't the only ones to do this. Look at the mindless morons defending Saddam or Kim Il. Look at the un-reconstructed Stalinists and Trotskites like Ramsey Clark. They must discount or completely ignore every atrocity committed by their side and exaggerate every sin of the other. They must deny history and demonize the opposition to perpetuate their myths.
