From the editor of an internet financial/economic news site:
"I remember, in New York, on the subway in the mid 1990s, reading Jaffa, who had been recommended to me as a "libertarian" scholar. Yet I could not make head nor tails of his analysis. What was not turgid was incomprehensible. What was not incomprehensible seemed weirdly contradictory. I didn't understand how or why he dissembled until I began reading your analysis. The turning point for me was your debate with him in which he called you names. Then I understood it fully. He is not a scholar but a propagandist."
"What I initially saw as setting the record straight about a deeply flawed president, I now understand as an argument over the fundamental justification for the American behemoth. . . the Lincoln myth is as central to the American modern state as Lenin was to the Soviet Union."
