And the bastard even lies about that.
Citing lost confidence in the books details, David Bartons publisher announced Thursday that it had decided to cease publication of his bestseller The Jefferson Lies, a revisionist pseudo-history that portrays Thomas Jefferson, who was a deist and a slave owner, as an ultra-Christian champion of civil rights.
According to WORLD Magazine,
The Thomas Nelson publishing company has decided to cease publication and distribution of David Bartons controversial book, The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths Youve Always Believed about Thomas Jefferson, saying it has lost confidence in the books details.
Casey Francis Harrell, Thomas Nelsons director of corporate communications, told me the publishing house was contacted by a number of people expressing concerns about [The Jefferson Lies]. The company began to evaluate the criticisms, Harrell said, and in the course of our review learned that there were some historical details included in the book that were not adequately supported. Because of these deficiencies we decided that it was in the best interest of our readers to stop the publication and distribution.
The Jefferson Lies no longer appears in searches on Thomas Nelsons website.
The Jefferson Lies has taken something of a beating of late. In May, conservative Christian scholars Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter released Getting Jefferson Right, a book devoted broadly to debunking Bartons false portrayals of the third president. Two months later, Bartons masterwork was voted the least credible book in history in a poll conducted by the History News Network.
