I encountered this problem with historians first when confronting Malkin's 'In Defense of Internment' and then with Goldberg's 'Liberal Fascism': It's considered unseemly and beneath the dignity of the academy to even acknowledge, let alone engage, such polemicists.
Fortunately, in Malkin's case I found an able ally in law prof Eric Muller. In Goldberg's, I managed to assemble a team of historians at History News Network (scroll to the bottom of the intro to see links to the entire series):

In any event, I am extremely grateful to historians and other academics who understand they are vitally needed in confronting the tide of deliberate falsification, not just of history but of all kinds of streams of vital information, we are currently enduring, esp. @KevinMKruse
