GLEN BECK ON MONDAY wondered why, when Obama more closely resembles FDR (promising dangerous, radical, anti-constitutional change) or JFK (young, attractive poseur of little or no substance) than Honest Abe, the media is pushing the Obama = Lincoln metaphor so hard.
Answer: Lincoln was a Republican. That the GOP is the Party of Lincoln shames the hell out of formerly-pro-slavery, formerly-pro-Jim Crow, formerly anti-integration Democrats.
And the leftist myrmidons in the legacy partisan press want to change that by taking Lincoln-as-icon away from the Republicans.
