I don't think that questioning Lincoln's legacy is tearing down the foundations of America. I guess I just believe that the foundations of America are strong enough, and that Lincoln's true legacy is solid enough, to withstand scrutiny. Perhaps you feel otherwise.
I have no doubt, of course, that you are fully aware of the context of Obama's statement, and further that you can say with confidence that he in fact has done nothing to deal with "the evil within his house", as you put it.
Tell me -- what do you think Obama, or anyone else, should do about Byrd? An exorcism ceremony?
And if the challenge is to me personally -- what do you propose I do? I've said Byrd is a racist piece of shit. I haven't said anything of the sort about Bush (I don't think that of Bush), or most likely any other Repub -- except possibly Jesse Helms, who I do think is a racist piece of shit but who I really hate because of his support for terrorism* in southern Africa.
*What else do you call it when people shoot teachers and chop off children's arms?
