David Barton critics beware: There’s now a price to pay if you want to defame the popular historian, author and speaker with false and outlandish charges.
Barton won a $1 million defamation judgment in August against two left-leaning candidates for the Texas State Board of Education. The pair, Rebecca Bell-Metereau and Judy Jennings, charged in a 2010 campaign video that Barton, a consultant to the Board, was “known for speaking at white-supremacist rallies.”

I purchased two sets of his U.S. History series, for grandchildren. The man is the essence of what Patriot means.
“one of the most shameless liars in this country”
How can anyone compete with Obama?
Can we start charging people for speaking to extremist hate groups when they address the congressional black caucus?
The judgment will be overturned...
ALL political speech is protected speech, even the lies.
Poor Rebecca and Judy. They’ll come up with the cash, being the good feminists that they are.
Good for him. Someone needs to fight back against these scumbags.
According to the article he has already given the money away. It doesn’t sound like it will be overturned.
Yeppers, that's why Barton won this defamation suit.
It was defamation based upon lies.
“Rebecca Bell-Metereau “
There is probably a 90% chance that people with hyphenated names are liberals (=idiots) - this is based upon my unscientific observation. I’d love to see a scientific study on this.
PS: The defendants also used their politically protected speech right to apologies to Barton for their lies as well.
“ALL political speech is protected speech, even the lies.”
There are a lot of gotchas on this. An ad hominem attack for political purposes is not necessarily “political speech”.
David Barton is the MAN. He is a hero for all of us who love the United States of America, the truth, and God.
Will the headline be how a white male is awarded A zillion dollars from already poorly paid females who couldn’t possibly go up against his white male privledge?
Ditto!

Beware of women with three names.
Truth is not a left-wing value.
