Mostly because it's untrue. The right's re-write of history is one of the most disturbing things that's come about in the last 25ish years. 

Like when Armey touted that Jamestown failed because of socialism, and it almost destroyed the country. (Which is utter crap as it was a corporate venture with the goal of making profit for England). Or when the GOP took on took on AP History material because they made American history "too negative" for not showing only the high points. Hell, in this instance Strom Thurmond was famous for his filibuster, and leaving the Democrats because they weren't pro-segregation enough and the party he joined still touts him as one of its best members... while glossing over the racism.
