For the Record: The Little Lies

I think I may have come to the end of this series on Gunga Dinesh and his Big Lie; I've managed to prove he's a liar twice in one thread, and I know he's listening, because he gave me a bit of a response.

Mainstream historian Eric Alterman demonstrates falsity and anti-Semitism in your revolting attack on George Soros. https://t.co/HDIYW7Sywa

(Though I personally think they should come out to denounce the implicit racism and anti-Semitism of your fanciful story, as Alterman has.)

You note he makes no attempt to refute anything I said about Alterman's article; just claims Alterman is not qualified and complains there's something important the article didn't say. Falsely:

Alterman's PhD from Stanford is in history. You have no degree beyond a BA in English. pic.twitter.com/03FdsaStME

At least 3 of his 10 books, I'd say 4 (Sound&Fury, When Presidents Lie, Kabuki Democracy, The Cause) are substantive historical studies. pic.twitter.com/SbHiCMnZE7

On Alterman's alleged partisanship, you're happy to cite Foner, an outright Marxist, cherrypicking to make it seem he supports your argument
