We Dicover A Leftist Critic Of Discover TheNetwork
Front Page Magazine ^ | 2-23-2005 | Steven Plaut

Posted on 02/23/2005 7:51:39 AM PST by Pendragon_6

The new sister web page of Frontpage Magazine, DiscoverTheNetwork, seems to be upsetting some of our leftist brethren. The first outburst of crazed frenzy has come from Kurt Nimmo, one of the regular columnists at Counterpunch web magazine. In the first lengthy analysis of DiscoverTheNetwork, Nimmo writes a vicious attack against the new venture, in which he accuses the operators of unjustified inclusion, in a comprehensive database of the left, of Islamic terrorists and their apologists (along with, of course, leftists innocent of such connections). He writes:

"Truly, Horowitz's latest endeavor is a sight to behold -- an exercise in massive right-wing paranoia and vindictiveness, making the so-called left, from Ted Kennedy to the bedtime bogeyman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (if Abu's a leftist, then I'm Donald Trump), into something it is not: a massive, secret, treasonous, hateful, and violent (as in Ayman al-Zawahiri) conspiracy to destroy David Horowitz's version of America."

The Left hates a spotlight.

David Horowitz be da man. He goes around rattling beehives. The bees come flying out without their protective coloring and the rest of us see clearly that they are enemies not even trying to play fair.

Well Hey Donald! Just between you and I, Ivana was pretty hot back in the day. She had plenty of mileage left to go when you traded her in!

I absolutely love the website, especially the visual mapping. It is gut wrenching to actually see the ties between all these groups.

One example:

Verizon Foundation, from the wireless/cell phone/communications company of course. Who are they linked to (supported groups):

Rainforest Action Network, probably one of the worst, who is linked with who?

VVAW

So by supporting Verizon, you are supporting Vietnam Veterans Against War. Oh, and NOW, and CAIR, and Not in Our Name, and United for Peace and Justice and Code Pink and The Young Communist League and on and on and on.

It is so mind boggling. I wish someone on TV would do a 5 minute presentation on the maps. It would open so many eyes to what is going on!

Did I mention I like the maps?

"hit a nerve"

And for him to say, "a massive, secret, treasonous, hateful, and violent (as in Ayman al-Zawahiri) conspiracy" proves the left is still using the "projection technique" to blame the right for what the left is actually doing.

"....bedtime bogeyman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi..."

Bedtime bogeyman? Yet another indication that the Left can't recognize or call evil what it is.
