Anyone remember "Fight Back with David Horowitz"? (no not that one)
Edited on Wed May-18-05 01:12 PM by Beware the Beast Man
He was a consumer advocate, and each week he would test claims from popular TV commercials and such (such as running the car through 52 carwashes) to see if they were true. I loved that show.

1. Yes, I do.
And I had not heard of the vile right wing one. When I did, I thought it was the consumer advocate.

It was a cool show. He was doing a public service. :-)

3. Does he still have a radio show? I seem to think my mother
listens to the radio around dinner time on Saturdays or Sundays and he's on....out of an El Paso station.

4. He might- I haven't seen his show in years.
In fact, I thought he & the RW Shill David Horowitz were one in the same. I was shocked to see him take a radical turn, until I realized they were different guys.

5. He did a bit once where he seriously complained that
cheese products labeled "Swiss cheese" were NOT made in Switzerland. I was tempted to write him about another scandalous product labeling debacle: Cottage Cheese

The commercial challenges were kind of fun though.

7. Yes, I do remember that, but I would never
have thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it.
