As the nation awaits the inauguration of Barack Obama, the legacy of Lincoln is taking center stage. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. sits down with the American News Project to discuss why, even after all these years, misconceptions remain about the 16th president and his views on race.

  • he doesn't have anything good to say about Lincoln either! i've read some of this guys stuff a he's a full blown racist. General Robert E. Lee, etc. were traitors; the War was all about slavery; etc.

    i've yet to hear the man mention the MORRILL TARIFF that pretty much forced the Southerners to seceed from the Union.

    he's just a mal-informed historical revisionist who doesn't have a clue!

  • Back to square one....

    What, exactly, does Pitts say in this commentary that earns the label of "ignoramus?"

  • lol....go watch your cartoons punk!..lol...fucking punk monkey.

  • did you say something...did you mumble something monkey?...fuck off baboon.

  • notalibertard:

    Wow. What a lucid, well thought-out, reasoned, substantive argument. Not just an ignoramus, a COLORED ignoramus. What an nuanced observation. Such depth. Such penetrating insight.

    In all seriousness, it's a scary thing when someone is so lacking self-awareness, and is so profoundly irony-challenged, that they can't see how their own lazy words reveal THEM as an ignoramus.

  • leonard pitts = ignoramus....a colored ignoramus....
