In fact, the Newberry Library of Chicago has granted Bellesiles $30,000 to write a new book on guns – a 400-year study of firearms regulation in America.

Hang on a tick: Isn't this the a-hole who is being roundly censured by his peers as an academic fraud and outright liar???

WTF!!!

"Our Review Committee… felt comfortable with the quality of his existing work," explained Jim Grossman, the library’s Vice President for Research and Education.

It's okay. They are comfortable with it. Clinton was comfortable with Mary Matlin's husband and pet snake. Adolf was comfortable with Goebbels.

I think the grant was made before the allegations of fraud had been substantiated by scholars. However, failing to have revoked it by now lands the Newberry Library (and the NEH, which funded the grant) in the sewers of academic fraud, right alongside little Mikey.

Clearly lies are their stock in trade they live for lies that support their position if one tells a lie often enough people believe it if one rewards liars who lie for the cause then more will ie for the cause.
