Christian pseudo-historian David Barton, whose book about Thomas Jefferson was pulled from the shelves by his Christian publishers for all the lies it contained, has announced Plan B:

[Barton] is in negotiations to publish a new edition of the book with Mercury Ink, Glenn Beck’s publishing arm…
…
Barton said the new edition “will not include any substantive changes, but I will rephrase some things to remove any potential confusion.” He also plans to add back some of the content Nelson cut in their editing process, and that in the process of reviewing the accusations made by his critics, “I have actually run across more supporting documents that strengthen my case, not weaken it.”
Just to be clear, there was no “confusion” in the initial book that a word-change or two would fix. There were only wholesale lies — debunked by the likes of Warren Throckmorton and Chris Rodda (PDF), among others.
If Barton isn’t making any substantive changes, it means he’s just doubling down on his factual inaccuracies and hoping Christians aren’t smart enough to question what he says.
Glenn Beck obviously isn’t going to question it. He’s already built a career out of peddling lies and mock outrage.
