The 3 Worst Members of the Greatest Generation

October 3, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

My latest at Pajamas Media:

Howard Zinn has wrecked more Thanksgiving dinners than salmonella.

If it makes your blood boil; is partially encased in sarcastic “scare quotes”; is intentionally hyperbolic and nitpicking, and therefore said mostly to annoy (and make the speaker feel unjustifiably superior); if it contradicts common knowledge, human nature, the laws of physics, and your own personal experience; if it sounds a lot like something Oliver Stone would make a movie about, or already has — then chances are, it’s an historical tidbit that’s been helpfully predigested by someone influenced by Zinn, whether they know it or not.
