My objection wasn't especially with DeLong or Evans but with Millison,
specifically his " this sort of argumentation relates to the historial
approach of Holocaust deniers" referring to Taylor and others. Millison may
have spoken in ignorance thinking Taylor really was a Hitler sympathizer.
Of course such a charge wasn't made in the article but only that Taylor was
a historian purportedly influenced in his findings by his political
position. However Millison quickly latched onto the sloppy writing of DeLong
to lob the Holocaust Denier epithet at one more convenient and innocent
target of opportunity. This behavior makes one wonder. I don't say he's
nuts. He just sounds nuts.
