The chronic liar.

Barton claimed to have been on Oral Roberts University's early 70's champion basketball team.
He wasn't.

He claimed to have been a Russian translator for the 1976 Russian Olympic team.
He wasn't.

He claimed to have smuggled Bibles into Russia during the 70's.
He didn't.

Thing is, when Barton is caught making stuff up (usually about history,) he'll say the person calling him out is right, he was "mistaken."

Months later he repeats the same lie.

He mis-remembered.
Like Bill O'Reilly on the battle field during the Falkland War.

Barton continues to be accorded a level of credibility that is, frankly, incredible.
