Mike Schwing is not the only person to have had his intellectual cage rattled by Tom DiLorenzo. My wife and I visited our local farmer’s market this past Saturday and spoke with two women who ran an anti-war information table there. I had a lengthy conversation with them when, without  my having mentioned either the Civil War or Abe Lincoln, one stated that she had recently read an article condemning Lincoln as a tyrant and all-around bad guy. She shared this animosity to Lincoln, and was interested in pursuing Tom’s books that I recommended to her.
