    CNN article on GOP (are Americans this ignorant?)

    Can't believe an infantile summary of the Republican Party was front-page news on CNN.com:

    CNN Explains: How today’s GOP has its roots in anti-slavery crusade | CNN Politics
    http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/25/politics/cnn-explains-gop-party/index.html?hpt=hp_c3
    Some may not realize that the modern Republican Party owes its origin to the fight over slavery nearly two centuries ago.

    Did people even attend 5th grade history? Some may not realize... ****

    Story highlights:
    Republicans emerge as an anti-slavery party in 1800s
    Abraham Lincoln was party's first president
    Are Americans this ignorant that those are the story highlights?

      You do realize that people don't retain everything they ever learn?

      "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" ring any bells?

      ACK!
      Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

        What a bunch of crap. Abe Lincoln was a vampire hunter, not a president.
        There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

          I love how Alby, of all people, is astonished by someone's ignorance.
          "The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
          Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "
