Apparently, I keep interesting company: I'm like peas in a pod with Joseph Stalin , Garrison Keillor , Fred Phelps , Osama bin Laden , The Pulitzer Prize , and Bruce Springsteen , according to neoconservative David Horowitz whose website Discover the Networks (DTN) includes me in a recent update to its "Guide to the Political Left."
Fred " God Hates Fags " Phelps, a liberal? (Isn't that a bit like Fox News "accidentally" turning Mark Foley into a Democrat? ) Bin Laden too? Yep.
Claiming to track the shadowy links from environmental, peace and social-justice organizations in the US to terrorists and far-right ideologues, DTN uses two time-tested tools, guilt by association and misstating an organization's values to score points with the far right, to map a vast leftwing conspiracy—and it targets a surprising range of Minnesota-based individuals and organizations.
