Here is WORLD magazines full treatment of David Barton and his controversial history. You will see they give him space to defend himself.
Thanks for posting that link.
As usual, the Debunkers need serious debunking.
And I see he did well in defending himself; but I also see it’s the same leftists “Christian” Warren Throckmorton, and his partner Michael Coulter that attack him relentlessly. Both have been known as “Christian” and/or “Conservative” by Leftists, but evidence shows otherwise. They even state that they want to critique “Barton and religious conservatives in general”. Throckmorton has attacked the “Religious Right” on the grounds that they are wrong on the Separation of Church and State (SOCS). As far as I know, Coulter’s view on SOCS is ambiguous; but then why would he partner who is vehemently supportive of SOCS? In a lecture Coulter infers he agrees with SOCS in stating the importance to law SOCS is. The link below has Coulter’s lecture on Windows Media Player and he states the importance of SOCS at around the 35 minute mark.

But let’s say they did not have an agenda; what they argue most in their criticism of Barton is the way he interprets the data – the first person writings of Jefferson. If this is the case, then it is a matter of reading the original documents ourselves and making up our own minds about the writing. And this is what Barton does best – he brings out the original writings! This is what drives the rest of the Left crazy too! We are not to interpret these documents ourselves in their eyes.
And there is another outstanding feature about Throckmorton and Coulter’s articles - THEY LACK CITATIONS! Anybody reading their article can note this - including you!
Now you have brought out evidence that attacks Barton, I have a question for you; do you have anything that supports Barton, or are you just out to get him as well?
