"John Wilkes Booth was one of those people who thought the best country in the history of the world was the United States as it existed before the Civil War. And then when Lincoln came along, he was changing that in fundamental ways."

On two occasions the summary of this article appears to try and associate Booth to those who oppose Obama's own statement of fundamentally changing America. It notes Booth was a patriot who loved America but hated the way he saw Lincoln fundamentally changing it.

Yeah, I'm sure this clear attempt to draw parallels is mere coincidence.

Yep. Noticed the manipulative language to plant the seed in support of Obama. O’Reilly’s book, Killing Lincoln, was very enlightening. I recommend it.

I saw someone comment earlier that liberals love America, but hate Americans.

Baraq has more in common with the guy sitting in front of Peewee Herman.

To be honest, I don't believe Booth - who was handsome and personable - was all that bright. He had very little education. A lot of people think that his illegitimacy (his father was a bigamist) turned him against the father figure - Lincoln being the target of his fury. Freudian to be sure but possible. He certainly took his father's betrayal very hard.
