Regarding the ridiculous assertion by The Smearbund that criticizing Lincoln = Defending Slavery, Edward T. writes:
“I’ve read your book “The Real Lincoln” and am currently reading “A Century of War” by [John] Denson [published by the Mises Institute], and there is not single word that suggests you or John support slavery. These people are beyond absurd and well into numbingly narrow-minded. It always has shocked me how people who claim to be academics can be so utterly devoid of honest thought.”
“[P]eople who claim to be academics” is a key word here: The CATO v.p. who is the ringleader of The Smearbund has never held a real, fulltime academic job at any university. (One of his fellow hate-bloggers repeated all the slavery/xenophopia/etc. slander yesterday, and then identified himself as someone who “lives” in three states plus “the former Soviet Union.” He sounds like he lives in his car and lists no place of employment).
