It's especially common with topics like the Jewish Holocaust, but it's pretty widespread on many topics: some folks think all history is basically fake. "How do you know? Were you there???"

Eye-witness accounts? Diaries? Letters to loved ones? Naaaaah! Ya can't trust that stuff either! They had an agenda. They made stuff up. They wanted other folks to feel reassured or envious, or whatever. Nope. Can't even trust the folks who were there.

Archeological dig? Showing that primitive stone-age cannibals were primitive and cannibalistic? And blood-thirsty? Hmmmmmmmmm. I dunno. I think we can still spin this to make the Europeans look bad, but I'm gonna need another grant ...

What??? You're not blaming Bush??? What's wrong with YOU? Oh, I get it. You need another huge grant or is that 'hugh' grant (he was cannibalized in a cab) or is that Mr. Grant (Ohhhhhhh Rrroooobbb. Wrong show, right actress) before you can come to any 'preliminary conclusion.' A final conclusion will cost you another five million US dollars.

How dare you insult cannibals!?! You need to open your MIND! Imagine, a way to feed the poor and a way to control the Aztec population explosion! We need cannibals TODAY! We have too many people and not enough food, we need to write to our congresspeople and let them legalize human sacrifices! Who are you to say what religion is best! They are all EQUAL!!!
