Horowitz’s Vast Left Wing Conspiracy
Horowitz’s Vast Left Wing Conspiracy
David Horowitz, champion of political balance on America’s college campuses, has posted an interesting “lesson” on his new website, Discoverthenetwork.org. It turns out, according to Horowitz’s dogged research, that most of America’s progressive leaders, Hollywood entertainers and civil rights advocates are closely aligned with radical Islamic terrorists known for killing Americans, such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Mohammed Atta and Ayatollah Khomeini. And you thought Roger Ebert was just a bad film critic!
Lest you think it’s all just a big joke, Horowitz cautions: “This database reflects links that are not merely caricatures by political enemies but are legitimate indices of a political reality.” It should yield a “new understanding of the forces that define our social reality.”
Check out a few of our favorites pairings –
Sen. Barack Obama appears on the same row as terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:
Mohammad Atta, the lead terrorist in the 9/11 attacks, shares space with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi:
John Walker Lindh, the American Taliban, appears next to American Progress’s very own John Podesta:

Hey, they both have the same first name, so I guess that means Podesta must be guilty as charged. I’m convinced.
February 22nd, 2005 at 1:41 pmSpeaking of conspiracies–do you suppose James Gilchrist of the MinutemanProject is really one and the same Jimmy-Jeff of Gannon fame????? It all sounds like his sort of rhetoric.
“At the current rate of invasion the United States will be completely over run with ILLEGAL aliens by the year 2025…only 20 years away. ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant population in the U.S. and will have made such inroads into the political and social systems that they will have more influence than the U.S. Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. That ugly consequence is already taking place. The United States of America is under invasion.” — James Gilchrist – The MinuteMan Project
February 22nd, 2005 at 1:46 pmHorowitz’s efforts seem as equally distorted as those who posted the anti-AARP advert on the American Spectator site. Maybe the left needs to start being as irrational as the reich wingers, linking Rove to Nero, Bush to Caligula, Cheney to Pope Pius, Gonzales to Torquemada, and so forth?
February 22nd, 2005 at 1:52 pmActually Bush, Rove, Cheney, etc. should be linked to Hitler, Goebbels, Eichmann, etc. The linkage is much more compelling than Horowitz’s linkages.
February 22nd, 2005 at 2:44 pmAnd this crap from Horowitz is supposed to convince who? Maybe the Phaux News crowd, but no one else will give him the time of day. Horowits is really in very sad decline.
February 22nd, 2005 at 3:29 pmActually, Roger Ebert is a perfectly acceptable popular film critic. He’s no Jeffrey Lyons or (shudder) Michael Medved, and his annual “Overlooked Films” festival in Champaign, Illinois is a gem. It’s just his ties to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi that worry me.
February 22nd, 2005 at 3:52 pmCan we put Horowitz, Coulter and O’reilly on the same line with David Koresh? They’re all fanatics.
February 22nd, 2005 at 3:58 pmHahaha! We could put Reverend Sun Myung Moon in the same line with Donald Lambro of the Washington Ti– Oh wait. Never mind, that one is true.
February 22nd, 2005 at 5:44 pmIt’s alphabetical by first name/word… This doesn’t make it any less asinine, but it explains some of the grouping. (It also explains what Ayatollah Khomeini has to do with Barack Obama).
That stuff you’re smoking is called crack cocaine, Mr. Horowitz. It makes you have funny ideas.
February 22nd, 2005 at 6:42 pmI expected nothing more from this right-wing idiot. To link people who want freedom for everyone with people who kill is just wrong. if any group should be compared with radical Islam is chrstian conservatives like Jerry Falwell and James Dobson!

This link shoud work, I hope…
February 22nd, 2005 at 7:41 pmyour are a nut, Mr. Horowitz
February 22nd, 2005 at 8:12 pmLittle known fact – the boys who comprised the heart and soul of the Three Stooges were actually of the last name Horowitz. Hmmm. What do you think, Dave? “Paging Dr. Horowitz! Dr. Fine! Dr. Horowitz!” On second thought, maybe they didn’t want to take any chances on ever being associated with this brain dead chimpanzee.

February 22nd, 2005 at 10:28 pmHere’s the real American Taliban.

February 22nd, 2005 at 10:39 pmHow can this not be a joke on SNL or some other third rate comedy program?
February 22nd, 2005 at 11:31 pmThanks for the laughs David, you are a shining light for the right wing, the one that proves you are all nutjobs.
Uh-oh, this smells suspiciously like a gigantic libel suit. A very hasty apology is in order.
February 23rd, 2005 at 12:03 amHe put Pete Seeger on the list? Sure, his music was dangerous in the years past, but now?
I am left wondering how I can be on this list. It seems Horrorwitz is only interested in famous Lefties.
February 23rd, 2005 at 12:23 amI have to disagree with those who tend to minimize the impact of such outrageous behaviour on the part of the Far Right. Just as negative ads work during political campaigns, so do such stuff. I am more and more convinced that one of the main problem affecting progressives is their lack of imagination when it comes to evaluating the power of emotion and how it supersedes reason in most instances. “Raw Story” is running an editorial on Schwarzenegger wherein the author writes: “Democrats in California are ever-so-slowly beginning to realize that they have to appeal to emotion just a bit more than reason to win elections in this climate.” I did enter a comment there regarding the importance of Emotion in the “permanent campaigning” of the regressive conservative movement, and have provided this link to a PowerPoint presentation on a conservative think tank website:
http://www.atlasusa.org/reports/event04_slc_breglio.ppt
What Horowitz is doing is simply applying the lessons of the presentation and it does work notwithstanding all of our wishes to the contrary.

Thia is a giant insult to self cleaning ovens everywhere.
Shame on you.
February 23rd, 2005 at 8:49 amCan’t someone bankrupt this jerk with a libel suit and get him off the air/internet/planet earth already?
February 23rd, 2005 at 9:14 amDavid Whorewitz is a human piece of shit…. This guy is an ex Marxist who everyone laughed at in the 60’s, then decided to hold onto the Marxist part of his personality to become part of the rich and famous crowd on the far right lunatic crowd.
February 23rd, 2005 at 10:31 amI heard him on NPR saying that the civil rights movement was “a primarily conservative struggle.” So, the struggle for the EXPANSION (i.e. big government) of federal oversight over voting rights and such was conservative? And horrible ideas like headstart and affirmative action were conservative? This asshole doesn’t even know his own philosphy. With such blatant logical fallacies, who the hell takes him seriously?
February 23rd, 2005 at 1:10 pmCalling Ayatollah Khomeini “left wing” proves how ludicrous the whole thing is.
February 23rd, 2005 at 6:55 pmAnybody else notice that Horowitz has included Morris Dees in this group? Dees heads up the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group which tracks and exposes white supremacists (like the KKK, CCC and others), neo-Nazis, right wing militia groups, and other racist and anti-Semitic people and organizations. Why would Horowitz feel that the SPLC is some kind of terrorist group? Could it be that he is a racist himself? Or just that the people he works for, the Bushies, are racists?
February 23rd, 2005 at 7:16 pmWell, the liberals need to come out with a RIGHT WING/REPUBLICAN Network website pinpointing the relationships and ties between corporations, lobbies, think tanks, propagandists, organizations, PACS, pundits, hate-groups, televangelicals, religious wackos, etc.
It’s time to show the world the vast Republican network that dominates the media.
February 23rd, 2005 at 7:18 pmSo, the CIA is now searching for “Adjacent Distance of Pictures on a Website” as a marker for terrorist activities.

August 4th, 2005 at 3:04 am[...] It seems that David Horowitz has moved past the need to warn us of Roger Ebert’s insidious support network, and is instead latching his wagon to the anti-immigration movement. [...]
September 10th, 2005 at 10:40 pm[...] Maybe Laskin isn’t exactly the right person to be throwing stones. The website he writes for, David Horowitz’s Frontpagemag.com, currently features an article entitled “George Galloway: Fascist Pimp and Prostitute.” Horowitz has also published a guide to the left that featured CAP president John Podesta next to the American Taliban, John Walker Lindh.
