Racists, not Radicals

I was reading about Steven Speilberg's much anticipated movie about Abraham Lincoln on Yahoo! News and came across this odd line:

In contrast to [the Republican party of] today, the Republican party to which Lincoln belonged was founded by anti-slavery activists and Republicans were often tagged "radicals."

So wait, the Republican Party of today is full of pro-slavery activists who are not radicals?  I know they didn't mean it to come out like that but it's interesting nonetheless.
