I almost wrote a long post very similar to this about Darryl Cooper.

In my case, I listened to the Tucker interview and then to Michael Shermer.  Michael Shermer's accusations appalled me.  It is as if he never even listened to Darryl Cooper. Or to Tucker Carlson.   Although Michael Shermer is an athiest, a skeptic, and a self-proclaimed libertarian, all traits I count myself to be as well, we differ in an important way.  Michael Shermer is an institutionalist.  He believes the truth is what the institutions say it is, and uses them to do his debunking.

 Shermer is a clown. Cooper is the type of guy who would’ve been a founding father had he been alive back then. They’re not the same. 
 Haven’t read shermers but if it was anything like Niall’s I won’t 
 It was off-putting. I'd avoid it. I won't be reading Niall's now that I know it is the same kind of rubbish.
