Every Thanksgiving, like clockwork, an email makes its way around the inboxes of conservative Americans across the country -- along with those of the unsuspecting family members and friends to whom they may forward it. The missive claims to tell "The True Story of Thanksgiving." In reality, all it does is further propagate myths and lies about the already greatly misunderstood holiday. Limbaugh tells the same story each November, lifted from chapter six, "Dead White Guys, or What the History Books Never Told You," of his 1994 book, "See, I Told You So." The accuracy in Limbaugh's telling of the story basically ends with the title of the chapter -- it is indeed a story about dead white guys, and it is a story that, truthfully, is not told in history books. But the reason it is not told in history books is not, as Limbaugh implies, because the real story has been hidden, stifled, repressed; rather, the reason it is not told in history books is because it is not actual history.
