Not that it detracts from him in the heart of good Democrats. But that's what matters to the Rethugs. He's been gone so long they're counting on people not remembering that they treated him badly too. Besides, they're so bereft of heroes themselves, now they have to start stealing ours!

And you're correct - they will never stop re-writing history. They're incurable liars and the truth's not in them.
