RE: 2012 Republican convention
It was Sen Everett McKinley Dirksen who coined the phrase "Getting Right with Lincoln." American communists had Lincoln-Lenin Day dinners. Alternate history writer Harry Turtledove had a post Civil War Lincoln become a Marxist agitator. Of all the minor political parties who claimed Lincoln as their own, I suppose the Prohibition Party was the least outlandish. Lincoln was for temperance but I have seen no evidence he supported outright prohibition..
