Ericlaire – You can stretch words if you want to but it doesn’t change the fact that Barton was wrong when he said Congress printed the Bible and funded it for use in schools. This was the point of the post. Barton could easily have disclosed the facts as I did in the post and let people draw their own conclusions. However, instead he changed the historical narrative.

The Truth (ironic) – The first two quotes are spurious.

M Hay: Doesn’t it bother you a little bit that Mr. Barton consistently misrepresents facts that are so easy to get right?
