NR Must be Running Out of Lying Lincoln Idolaters

The smarmy hatchet job on The Real Lincoln in Neocon Review (NR) by one Thomas Hibbs, as brought to our attention by Lew, suggests that NR is running out of lying Lincoln idolaters. Hibbs obviously hasn’t read my book; he merely repeats other hatchet jobs by fellow neocons like Andrew Ferguson who have also not read the book. And he identifies himself as a professor of ethics!

Taking a glimpse at Hibbs’s own book, linked on his article, one discovers that his expertise is in watching television. He has apparently come up with the earth shattering revelation that Jerry Seinfeld has “anesthetized” his television show viewers to the forces of good and evil. Heavy. Well, I’ve seen just about every Seinfeld episode and I don’t feel the least bid anesthetized. In other words, Mr. Hibbs seems to be the worst kind of academic bullshit artist. We need no further proof of this than the infantile little fairy tale about Ford Theater in his NRO article.
