re: Hypocrisy and (Dis)Honest Abe

First of all, so what if Lincoln was gay? I would much prefer a gay president who abided by Jeffersonian ideals than a hetrosexual mass murderer, maniacal warmonger, manipulative liar, white supremacist, corporate tool, and trasher of the Constitution like Lincoln.

The new book on Lincoln as a gay man, which is not even in the bookstores yet, has further revealed what a pack of hypocritical liars the Lincoln Cultists are. Most of them pose as “progressive liberals” within academe, but now they turn out to be gay bashers. And the lying is already in high gear. David Donald takes the cake in this regard. In trying to explain away why Lincoln slept with a man named Joshua Speed for four years, and signed his letters to Speed very affectionately, with “Yours forever,” Donald said: “Beds were scarce in the frontier.” If so, one wonders why there are no other stories — none — of any prominent political figures sleeping with other men for years on end.

I’ll be collecting all the lies and tall tales that the Lincoln cultists will be spewing out during their orgy of gay bashing in defense of Lincoln. It should make for a very entertaining and revealing LRC article. Meanwhile, feel free to send any such information along to me.
