[Non-Sequitur]

OK, muleboy, let's cut to the chase. Is the article wrong? Forget the source for a moment. Is anything in the article a lie? Show where DiLorenzo did not take the quotes out of context. Show where DiLorenzo was not incorrect when Quackenbush and other's say he was. You're as blind in your bias against Lincoln as you accuse others of being towards Lincoln.

I am somewhat blind, in that I have not as yet read the Di Lorenzo book. Although I am very anxious to do so.

In an earlier thread I read of an assertion by Di Lorenzo that "nearly every speech from 1854 to 1859, Lincoln described his desire for Whig/Mercantilist economic policy".

If Lincoln did so, then I can look forward to Mssrs. Ferrer, Jaffa, and Quackenbush's hari-kiri. If Lincoln did not do so, then Di Lorenzo had better have some other compelling evidence (votes in Congress, letters, legal cases etc.) to support his assertions.

These threads have been enlightening and entertaining (mostly). I have learned much from the debates. Most certainly is that Mr. McPherson must wear knee-pads as much as Di Lorenzo loves shotguns.
