Back when Glenn Beck first appeared on FOX I warned people that this guy
was not all he appeared to be.
A couple of years ago Beck and a minister named David Barton (Barton has a
site called “Wallbuilders”) claimed that the Confederate Constitution had in its
title, “The SLAVEHOLDING States of the Confederate States of America") They also
claimed that the Confederate Founders mandated that any future state wishing to
join the Confederacy would have to be a “slave state.” Both claims were patently
untrue and the mistake, or lie if you prefer, can be easily exposed with
some simple research. Other than letters from a few nobodies like me however,
these two liars went unchallenged.
It appears that the two are at it again….going after the Confederate
boogeyman, this time focusing on Nathan Bedford Forrest. I do hope that by
bringing this bare faced lie to the attention of the readers of this newsletter,
that somehow, someone with some clout, perhaps an historian on our side, will
give these guys “the cold steel” of truth and expose their lies.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I caught your act on "Nathan Bedford
Forrest" recently. If the story of noses growing longer each time a person told
a lie (ala "Pinocchio") were true, the two of you would need flatbed trucks to
haul your schnozzes around.
Several years ago I saw the two of you partner on a lie that the
Confederate Constitution contained the title "The Slaveholding States of the
Confederate States of America" - There is of course, no such phrase or title in
that Constitution. On that show you also claimed that in order for a state to
join the Confederacy that it had to be a slave state. The records of the 1861
Constitutional Convention in Montgomery Alabama clearly show that this is not
so. So then, either the two of you never read the Confederate Constitution or
looked at what happened at the Confederacy's Constitutional Convention and are
lying, or, you simply made a mistake. I'm opting for door number one. You both
are liars. Now it appears that the two of you are at it again, this time with
Forrest. I guess you can't understand the difference between "allegations" and
"truth"....or.... you both are lying again.
Beck, I smelled a B.S. artist the first time I saw you. Stop trying to
pander to Black Americans by attacking what you perceive to be "bad guys" on the
Conservative side. Anyone who knows what bull***t smells like knows what you
are." Barton, I'm not a very religious person and you are a minister....so you
tell me...doesn't it say somewhere that lying is a sin?????

"Since the war began I have captured many thousand Federal prisoners, and
they, including the survivors of the Fort Pillow massacre (black and white), are
living witnesses of the fact that with my knowledge or consent, or by my order,
not one of them has ever been insulted or in any way maltreated."
From the HQ of General Nathan Bedford Forrest July 25, 1864, (Official
Records of the War of the Rebellion)
