Last week the Christian book publisher Thomas NelsonĀ recalled David Barton’s book on Thomas Jefferson because there was just too much bullshit in it for them. That is saying a lot coming from a company that publishes books on Young Earth Creationism and some child’s NDE. Barton responded predictably, by inventing conspiracy theories of politically motivated historians who are all out to destroy him and cover up the troof. So Glenn Beck is now swooping in as David Barton’s white knight / vanity publisher.

A Christian book publisher has answered the question of how much bullshit they’re willing to put up with. The answer lies somewhere between the dishonest apologist charlatan Lee Strobel and the dishonest historical revisionist David Barton.
