      1. Prof. Tom Sugrue, the eminent American political historian, takes issue with my recent Politico essay on liberal historians of conservatism. I appreciate the nice things he says about my GOP book and his role in getting it published by the Oxford University Press. But...https://twitter.com/TomSugrue/status/1038904179488632837 …

      2. Prof. Sugrue misconstrues much of what I wrote in the article. To deal with the most straw-like men first, obv. I have no problem with historians writing about events they didn't experience themselves, & of course liberal historians are capable of writing about conservatism.

      Straw man? Read @RuleandRuins own words if you think I have misconstrued the argument about liberals’ capacity to write conservative history.pic.twitter.com/80sLyJc4bF

      That's hedged with enough qualifiers to give anybody an out. It's a warning, not a blanket indictment.

      Replying to @RuleandRuin

      I suppose "if" counts as a qualifier. But being an old-school empiricist, I would like some data to convince me that any liberal historian of conservatism doesn't have personal experience with conservatism; or any colleagues, family, or friends on the right.

      Who are the conservatives you regard as pol. hist. colleagues besides Critchlow? I can think of Vincent Cannato at UMass Boston, Brian Domitrovic at Sam Houston State, Greg Schneider at Emporia State U, and Daniel Williams at U of W Georgia. How many others can you name?

      Off the top of my head in US: Paul Moreno, Hillsdale; Fred Siegel, Cooper Union/Manhattan Institute; Allen Guelzo, Gettysburg; Walter McDougall, Penn; Wilfred McClay, Vanderbilt; Patrick Allitt, Emory; Jonathan Bean, SIU; David Beito, Alabama. Dinesh D'Souza (just kidding).

      I'd add that outside of history as a discipline, there are many Straussians in academia who basically do intellectual history & anyone who works on these topics is likely to encounter them and their works.
