David Barton Keeps Up His Lies at Glenn Beck's American Revival Event

[Joanne98]

On Saturday, March 27, the first of Glenn Beck's much anticipated American Revival events took place at the UCF Arena in Orlando, Florida. The highlight of this all-day event, for many of the attendees, seems to have been a several minute pause in the program when an elderly woman in the audience needed medical attention. Here, Mr. Beck showed his true humanity and Christian character, halting the show and raising the house lights so that medical personnel could get to the woman. (A communist, fascist, marxist, socialist liberal would, of course, have just ignored the situation and let the old broad croak.) And to make the moment even more special, while all this was going on, Beck began softly humming Amazing Grace, with the audience spontaneously joining in.


Joining Mr. Beck for his American Revival event were Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, and David Buckner, the guy best known for actually passing out on Beck's show, (a medical situation that did not prompt any hymn humming from Beck).

The third featured speaker at the event was none other than the star of the "Texas Textbook Massacre," Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton.

For those unfamiliar with Barton, he is not only the most popular of all the Christian nationalist history revisionists, but a former vice-chair of the Texas Republican Party who was used by the GOP in recent elections to travel the country stumping for their "family values" candidates, and is very well connected with the far right members of Congress. In 2005, he was named one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in America by Time Magazine. But, outside of evangelical Christian circles and those of us who fight the religious right, few people are aware of who he is, or just how dangerous he is. That, however, is now changing. Because of his role in the Texas textbook lunacy, and now, even more, because of his hooking up with Glenn Beck, people who never paid attention to Barton before are suddenly curious about who the hell this guy is. And this may be his downfall. He is no longer flying under a radar where he was only visible to his blind followers.

You really only need to watch the first 2 videos. Once she shows you how he quotes out of context to completely misrepresent what John Adams said, you know that Barton is nothing but a liar and you can't believe anything he says.
