... Burress joined a hundred other activists —including far-right heavyweights Phyllis Schlafly and DavidBarton—in Denver to commit to campaign for McCain: "Collectively we feel that he will support and advance those moral values that we hold much greater than Obama, who in our view will decimate moral values," said Mat Staver, the chairman of Liberty Counsel, a legal advocacy group,...
Quite a few articles were written last week about speculative McCain VP pick, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, many focusing on Jindal's signing into law a bill that will allow the teaching of creationism, through "supplemental materials," in Louisiana's public schools. Some of last week's articles mentioned Jindal's association with former Texas Republican Party co-chair and pseudo-historian David...
... in Chelsea? Isn't that where all the gay guys hang out these days?" "Maybe you should try the DavidBarton gym then? From what I've heard it's very gay and full-on, with lots of porn stars, escorts and celebs going there!" Perfect :-). Sounds exactly like the kind of place that a disreputable blogger like me should be seen at! So on my second evening in New York, I get my first surprise...
Brad Hart has an excellent debunking of a DavidBarton video. As usual, Barton delivers a speech full of lies, half-truths and distortions and Brad catches most of them. I especially love Barton's claim that American universities are teaching that none of the founding fathers believed in God. I'd love to hear just a single example of a history professor at any American...
... G. “Our goal was to create a completely convincing, animated computer-generated face,” explained DavidBarton, Image Metrics’ producer. “Given the caliber of creative work and talent in our industry, it was a challenging goal, but one we were confident we could accomplish by pairing our technology with the facial scanning system developed by Paul Debevec and his team at ICT. The unmatched...
... Mitt Romney as his running mate. Tim LaHaye, author of the apocalyptic Left Behind series, and DavidBarton, the Christian right's favorite historian and foremost promoter of the "Christian nation" mythology, both tell the that Romney lacks the credibility within their constituency to generate enthusiasm for get-out-the-vote drives that McCain would need to beat Obama. Both LaHaye...
... is understandable in a liberal state like Massachusetts, but our people won't understand that." … DavidBarton, a former vice president of the Republican Party of Texas, said, "The key for Mr. McCain is to pick someone who opposes abortion but doesn't alienate any part of the general Republican voting coalition" as Mr. Romney does. Longtime social-conservative leaders such as Phyllis...
... The piece then goes on to look at comments, out of context, by people like Phyllis Schafly and DavidBarton . It weaves their public comments with those of other to paint a picture of opposotion where only inquiry and concern exists. This latter group wants assurances on specific issues, but it is other people that have a problem with Romney specifically on those issues. Clearly this...
I have joined the American Heritage debate site at google. It is founded by a young evangelical Christian who is sympathetic to DavidBarton’s point of view. We are engaging in civil debate. You can check it out and if you want to join send him an email. Though, I’ll note, [...]
A new outbreak of DavidBarton has been noted. The Centers for Disease Control offer no help, but you can find some relief here, at American Creation, in a post by Brad Hart. Tip of the old scrub brush to Ed Brayton at Dispatches from the Culture Wars, “Another Barton Debunking.” [...]
Details continue to emerge about the meeting last week in Colorado where a large group right-wing leaders gathered and decided to back John McCain, with DavidBarton telling The Brody File that more than 90% in attendance agreed to support...
I suspect that this is a scene which will be played out in cities across the country today: reader DavidBarton sent in this photo with the following comments… When I was typing this message on my phone, I realized the spell checker on my BlackBerry doesn’t even know what the word iPhone is… No need [...]
I began researching this issue from the secular side a little over 5 years ago because something didn’t sound right about the “Christian America” idea I heard promoted (in what I saw as an arrogant manner) by the late D. James Kennedy and DavidBarton. My liberal law school professors taught me the exact [...]
... activists like Mat Staver, Tim and Beverly LaHaye, Phyllis Schlafly, Rick Scarborough, and DavidBarton. Just last week we were noting how the Right, even though not traditionally supportive of McCain, was working diligently to remind its supporters that the future of the Supreme Court is at stake in the next election. It seems that the McCain campaign has been playing up that angle...
