GOP Want Clinton Removed from Lincoln Video

An 8 min video montage that has played since 1994 (and viewed by millions of visitors in a gallery at the Lincoln Memorial) is being revised after conservative groups complained that the display implied Abraham Lincoln supported abortion, homosexuality and liberal causes. The video was designed by the Nat'l Park Service in conjunction w/high school students across the country. 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 considered removing images of Democratic former President Clinton at the memorial in order to appease the right-wingers. Hmm, the video also shows civil rights' protests and excerpts of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech "I Have a Dream"... so, when will the Park Service appease the racists and remove that, too?
