Is LINCOLN, a film about a progressive Republican, extra salt in the wounds of the GOP? [View all]

Does it hurt them to be reminded after they had their ass handed to them in the election that their first and most admired president was an unabashed PROGRESSIVE who fought a war to preserve the Union against states rights AND to free blacks who voted en masse against Mittsy Rich?

I hope so.

What do you think?

NO--they focus on Lincoln's few racist statements and think he freed the slaves so they would self-deport to Africa and didn't like the welfare-like care masters gave their slaves
