Lincoln Memorial Video under attack by Christian Conservatives

Conservatives

"The National Park Service sought out footage of ``conservative - right-wing demonstrations'' to revise the video shown to visitors at the Lincoln Memorial after being pressured by conservatives who complained the display implied Abraham Lincoln supported abortion, homosexuality and liberal causes. Park Service documents released under the Freedom of Information Act show officials purchased video of President Bush, pro-gun advocates and pro-Iraq war rallies and also considered removing images of Democratic former President Clinton at the memorial."

Oy Vey!

It simply showed protests that happened at the Memorial, didn't reflect any point of view by Lincoln at all.

I agree, how the hell do we know how he would feel about abortion or gays. I think he was pretty busy during his term with the Civil War if I remember my history right. This is silly. So if the KKK protests in front of the Clinton library, that means Bill Clinton hates black people? Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.
