IN DEFENSE OF HOWARD ZINN - SORT OF
"Stinks of sanctimony" is a perfect description of this history of Zinn's and the left in general. We saw that same stink in that stupid pledge those celebrities (most of whom I couldn't say who they were) made a year ago.

I happen to like Columbus; he brought hope and change to the new world. I like Custer too,even though he did on one occasion have some of his soldiers flogged. Zinn is not likely to change my mind about them or anyone else in history. But others are sure to buy into his story.
It seems that the principle criterion for the telling of history is that it must be flattering. That is why Zinn's history rubs many Americans so wrongly and why, if you're a sanctimonious leftist pedantic or a member of a certified victim group, it is so embraceable.
