David Barton’s 10 Dumbest Statements

You have to respect the efforts of the folks at Right Wing Watch to narrow the incredibly stupid things said by David Barton down to a list of ten. The man is like a human volcano, spewing lies and bullshit into the air at a staggering pace. Here’s their list:

• Demonic powers control the government.
• The Founding Fathers opposed the teaching of evolution.
• Jesus opposed the minimum wage.
• The Bible opposes Net Neutrality.
• The US would have won the Vietnam war if it had flown just one more bombing run.
• Prayer stopped the BP oil spill.
• Intolerance of gays is a sign a nation is undergoing a spiritual revival.
• We can’t find a cure for AIDS because it is God’s punishment for sin.
• Life begins not at conception, but before conception.
• People are probably on welfare because they are not reading the Bible enough.

And that just barely scratches the surface.
