David Barton: Pseudo-Historian

Fact-Checking" David Barton.

According to this press release, Barton, and his son Tim, will speak at events on Maui and Oahu.

A national news organization [Which one?--P.Z.] has described him as “America’s historian,” and Time Magazine called him “a hero to millions –including some powerful politicians.” In fact, Time Magazine named him as one of America’s 25 most influential people.

Despite promoting himself as an historian in his official biography, Barton admits he doesn't consider himself one.


NOT to be confused with hip fitness impresario David Barton.

12 August update: Barton's latest book, Jefferson Lies, is removed from shelves and returned to the publisher because of extensive errors found by Christian scholars.
