Aha - now I know what the heck you were referring to before. Webster seems unique in the fact that it is hard to make his name sound rude. There's a great South Park commercial now with Cartman angrily yelling "what the Funk & Wagnalls".

If you read on the Internet that he was an avid supporter of the GOP, probably not. I'm uncertain whether he was an abolitionist - opposition to slavery of course was the main reason the Republican Party was founded in 1854.
