...recently came across videos by Chris Rodda, author of the excellent book Liars For Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version of American History, exposing David Barton as a liar: lying about Rodda and the founding of the country.


He's got a link to her site (which has the the first few pages of each chapter of the book itself available for reading on it), as well as several videos where Rodda deals with what Barton says about her.

Only the first two videos worked, but it was clear from those alone that David Barton is not only a liar, but an astoundingly crude prevaricator.

To make his case, Barton brutally quote-mines in a Creationist manner, managing to completely reverse the Adam's intended meaning by carefully taking snippets out of their context. This not sufficing to make his Christian Nationalist point, Barton outright re-wrote John Adams' words from the letter he waves about. Where John Adams' words don't help David Barton, Barton helps John Adams by strategically replacing them with Barton's own.

Then Barton goes on to completely make up shit about Jefferson, trying to make it appear that he'd intended his secular University of Virginia to be a Christain school.

Outrageous.
