» Brian Tubbs - Undermining of truth....no

In response to Immoral Majority posted by pink101:

Wrong, Pink. Kennedy did not undermine the truth. He simply exaggerated it. Kennedy was absolutely correct that the founding of the USA was dominated by Christians. But he exaggerated it by telling stories that were very Parson Weems-like. I fact-checked a lot of what he said, and it went too far. For example, GW was a Christian. Of that, I'm certain, but Kennedy told some stories about GW that just weren't verifiable. They were straight out of Parson Weems' tales, which most historians have debunked.

Now, was Kennedy being deliberately dishonest? I doubt it. IF he was, then he's giving an account to a much Higher Authority now than you or me. I think Kennedy genuinely bought the Parson Weems tales hook, line, and sinker. He was idealistic and naive to a fault. But not dishonest.
