Yes, I said it.

Oliver Stone is a rabble-rousing liar.

His series is revisionist "history" that has Stone's far-far left politics influencing it.

Stone himself blamed "the Jews" for the series not getting more airplay.

Stone used as a "source" for his revisionist movie "JFK" a vicious gay-bashing liar, Jim Garrison.

He used a history revisionist to write this bullshit.
