1. The Times was too kind to him. Here's Mother Jones' take on that Times article, and their earlier

article on Barton:

"GOP's Favorite Fake Historian Spins The New York Times"

"The GOP's Favorite Fringe Historian"

The MoJo article above links to this Yurica Report page on Barton and his bogus quotes:
