Re: David Barton and Glenn Beck

GB's partner in this scene is David Barton. Like GB, Barton attempts to use American history to fit his own purposes. His most recent book is Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson. It's been withdrawn by the publisher [Thomas Nelson] due to the great number of factual errors found in the book. Should've been identified prior to press, but that's another issue.

This article provides a number of references to quotes by Barton from this book and others. As best I can determine, GB fabricated the story he presented about General Forrest and Fort Pillow. Evidently a number of reviewers have evidence that leave the impression that Barton did some fabrication of his own.

Interested parties can decide for themselves --
