Fisked? Is this word in the dictionary?
Right, like I'm going to take seriously a blog which links to Little Green Fascists.

Being a control freak in your relationships is irrelevant to one's job as a professor. If every professor was scrutinized the way that Churchill is being hunted, there would be no professors.

There has to be a smoking gun here. I'm willing to buy beers for everybody at the next LBO party if somebody discovers right wing money funding these newspaper attacks on Churchill. In fact, I swear I saw one of these reporters on Fox News the other day when I was channel-surfing.
We all know that the right wing lies constantly and their methods are just as dishonest. I can speak from experience as somebody smeared by one of their covert hack jobs.
