Hey, the NRA has a hate list, so why shouldn't this thug?
"Horowitz, darling of the right-wing political establishment in Colorado, earned thousands of dollars on our college campuses bashing professors he deems are out of touch with his own radical philosophy. He earned all this money while claiming that people of his political persuasion were never allowed to speak on our so- called "leftist" college campuses.
Now, Horowitz is seeking funds to develop a huge database of so-called "leftist" and "liberal" individuals and organizations, a massive snitch file. In a "confidential" memo floating around the Web, he asked for help in financing this database, which will "make transparent the network of the left, including individuals, organizations, groups, and government legislators and officials along with the funding sources that underpin them."
These groups, according to the memo, include "peace groups, anti-nuke groups, civil liberties groups, Muslim groups, anti-Israel groups and immigration groups." Soon to be added will be "science groups, labor groups, business groups, gun-control groups, abortion groups, and various special interest lobbies." Presumably not included, however, are those lobbies that represent right-wing views. The fact that many of these "leftist" groups are pretty mainstream is irrelevant to Horowitz.
Horowitz seems opposed to the whole concept of freedom of speech, unless it's his own."
