I guess to go around with your head in the sand and think we treated the Blacks, American Indians, poor people, etc equally, is easier than to accept the truth.

We need to know what the enemy is saying before we can accurately & effectively debunk it. We must watch this just so we know what these idiots are saying (I have it on right now…..yes, it's crap).

The SOONER sponsors realize how people like me resent these people preaching their beliefs to us the better. I do not think it is fair and I resent their using their celebrity to spread their ideology. I say we boycott....that is where it will hurt them the most.

In the section "Mutiny in George Washington's Army performed by Mike O'Malley" he mentions a revolutionary soldier by the name of Samuel Dewees who witnessed an execution of some other soldiers for mutinous behavior. Even if we forget about the time and place of these events and realize that such punishment was common at the time, the quotation read is taken completely out of context. Here is a link to what Mr. Dewees actually said about this incident: <a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/ahistorylifeand00hanngoog#page/n239/mode/1up/search/mutiny" target="_blank">http://www.archive.org/stream/ahistorylifeand00ha...</a> He laments the execution but goes on to say that the commanders who ordered it did so for the good of the country and that punishment in these matters was necessary. I find it disgusting that Washington is being disparaged in this way, without him this nation would not exist as we know it. Do these leftists wish that were the case?

I guess so, after all the history tought at schools and portrayed in the media (including the History channel) is full of lies and omissions, and whose purpose is to mainly indoctrinate people into believing that the system is just and fair, and that any injustices are mere trivial mistakes. So, yes in this respect it is revisionist and a welcome point of view at that. I'm sure it makes lots of people uncomfortable that some of their more cherished beliefs are being challenged, so be it.
