Bill O’Reilly Tackles History in New Thriller, ‘Killing Lincoln’
Sept. 27, 2011

*** begin quote ***

Fox News Channel talk show host and political commentator Bill O’Reilly takes a step away from politics and into history with his new book, “Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assasination that Changed America Forever.”

In “Killing Lincoln,” the first work of history from the New York Times bestselling author, O’Reilly partners with historian Martin Dugard to deliver a true-crime account of the murder that shocked America, and took down an American president.

The authors recount the weeks leading up to and immediately following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, from the final days of the Civil War to the manhunt for John Wilkes Booth, the man who quickly became the country’s most wanted fugitive as the prime suspect in Lincoln’s death.

Lincoln is my pick for WORST president ever. Far and away.

O’Reilly continues the sanctification of Lincoln.

Guess we can overlook that he was the first President that authorize unlimited warfare on civilians, a crony capitalist of the highest order, and a racist.

Sorry, but he’s not a sympathetic character in my eyes.

Not that he should have been assassinated. But, he initiated the force.
