What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own writing?

I don’t understand what you mean by “recalling”? They are asking people who bought it to return it?

I find it hard to take any one serious that does not know that ONLY the government can censor.
PRIVATE companies make business decisions or editorial decisions as to what they present to sell. A business decision is not censorship. You may not agree with their decision, but it ain't censorship.

Are you talking about the CBN cable network? How is CBN a "sister company to Fox?" I thought Fox sold CBN to Disney (ABC) a few years ago?

What is the “sister company” of FOX news, and what does FOX have to do with this story?

Barton is a fake historian for people who prefer to be lied to rather than to confront reality and deal with it.

http://www.worldmag.com/articles/19837

Jay W. Richards, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and author with James Robison of Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom Before It's Too Late, spoke alongside Barton at Christian conferences as recently as last month. Richards says in recent months he has grown increasingly troubled about Barton's writings, so he asked 10 conservative Christian professors to assess Barton's work.

Their response was negative. Some examples: Glenn Moots of Northwood University wrote that Barton in The Jefferson Lies is so eager to portray Jefferson as sympathetic to Christianity that he misses or omits obvious signs that Jefferson stood outside “orthodox, creedal, confessional Christianity.” A second professor, Glenn Sunshine of Central Connecticut State University, said that Barton's characterization of Jefferson's religious views is “unsupportable.” A third, Gregg Frazer of The Master's College, evaluated Barton's video America's Godly Heritage and found many of its factual claims dubious, such as a statement that “52 of the 55 delegates at the Constitutional Convention were ‘orthodox, evangelical Christians.’” Barton told me he found that number in M.E. Bradford's A Worthy Company.

*******************************

A full-scale, newly published critique of Barton is coming from Professors Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter of Grove City College, a largely conservative Christian school in Pennsylvania. Their book Getting Jefferson Right: Fact Checking Claims about Our Third President (Salem Grove Press), argues that Barton “is guilty of taking statements and actions out of context and simplifying historical circumstances.” For example, they charge that Barton, in explaining why Jefferson did not free his slaves, “seriously misrepresents or misunderstands (or both) the legal environment related to slavery.”
