Also, Dr. Warren Throckmorton, an evangelical Christian, has made multiple critiques of Barton's distorted historical analysis.

It isn't just the left that will criticize Barton.

Neither of the points you mentioned has anything to do with historical accuracy. Either Barton does not know his historical sources, or he is a flagrant liar. Time and again he misquotes documents or quotes them out of context.

Subsequent events are certainly bearing out your analysis. Barton's recent NY Times bestseller, The Jefferson Lies, has been withdrawn by its publisher. A publisher of Christian books. Maybe they reviewed the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" commandment and decided they wanted to have less to answer for come Judgment Day.

Has Glenn Beck had anything to say about this?

Yes - he's going to publish the book himself, "without substantive changes".
