The Tea Party pseudohistorian, David Barton, sues three who reveal him giving speeches to racists
David Barton of Aledo-based WallBuilders has filed a libel and defamation law suit against an Internet writer and two former Texas State Board of Education candidates.

Barton is alleging public policy opponents have falsely painted him as a white supremacist sympathizer and liar.

The suit unspecified damages from the three defendants for allegedly exposing Barton and WallBuilders to “public hatred, contempt, ridicule, financial injury and impeaching (Barton’s) honesty, integrity and virtue.”

The suit alleges Barton has been subjected to a loss of business because of the false statements.

1. Upon consideration of defendants' motions for summary judgment
The court finds that plaintiff has no honesty, integrity or virtue, and any claims for impeaching same is therefore groundless. Judgment in favor of defendants, and the court also awards them their costs and reasonable attorney fees.
