David Barton continues his usual M. O.

Lie.

Have the lie exposed as a lie.

Maybe admit that he "misspoke."

Months later, repeat the lie.

For The Third Time, David Barton Falsely Claims Obama Administration Won't Prosecute Child Pornography

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 8/20/2015 3:14 pm

As we have noted several times before, David Barton is not about to stop repeating one of his talking points merely because it happens to be demonstrably false, and today he provided more evidence that he simply does not seem to care about the truth of the things that he says. Since 2011, we have heard Barton repeatedly claim that the Department of Justice under President Obama has not prosecuted a single person for child pornography. This statement is categorically false, as anyone willing to spend one minute searching the database of the FBI website will find dozens and dozens of press releases announcing arrests, prosecutions, and convictions for child pornography. But apparently Barton can't be bothered to get his facts straight and so he continues to repeat this claim, as he did again on his radio program today when he stated that "the last I knew, there has not been a single prosecution of child pornography under this administration. There were many under previous administrations; this administration just shut it down."

Jared Fogle was a Federal Investigation/conviction. Mr. Fogle arranged for underage sex from his computer in Indiana and then flew to New York for the sex. As he crossed state lines it became a federal crime and the DOJ in New York handled the prosecution.

2. As St Ronnie would say, "There you go again..."

How dare you, bringing in actual facts and credible information to a thread about this "Good Christian" and his lies...I mean, "misstatements..." /s

4. David Barton is a joke and is not a historian or a scholar

5. He can't even be honest about his OWN history, which can be checked.

He's lied about being on a championship college basketball team, translator for Russian athletes, and a Bible smuggler.

His books are constantly called out as lies, and nowadays even his "magnum opus" about Jefferson was yanked by a conservative Christian publishing outlet, since it was so bad.
