Massive web expose leaves David Horowitz 'flabbergasted'

Horowitz has attracted attention in Colorado with his proposed Academic Bill of Rights, which is designed to ensure that conservative university faculty and students aren't discriminated against. Rep. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, has introduced a bill in the legislature based on those concerns.

As planned, FollowTheNetwork.org will be an Internet database "to make transparent the network of the left, including individuals, organizations, lawmakers and their funding sources," according to an April memo by Horowitz.

Horowitz said he was "flabbergasted" Monday when told of some of the Colorado groups listed on the site. Editors and researchers he hired entered that information and he hadn't seen it, Horowitz said.

Priceless commentary weighing in from atrios...

"God bless David for recognizing the Paralyzed Veterans of America for the threat that they are."

"If they can smack us around for a couple ridiculous "Bush == Hitler" Flash ads submitted to MoveOn, I don't see why we can't hold Davey up to scrutiny over a little publically-available "test" data."

"I'm sure this will eventually come to light in a far more polished form, but I'd be amazed if any of the existing content was actually removed, except for typographical stuff. I'm hoping he includes mailing addresses--I'm going to use it as my Christmas card list."

And from the RMPN:

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars? For a fricking non-finished database? Why can't the wingnuts give *me* their money if they want to just throw it away?"

"WooHoo! My school made it!! I feel so...vindicated. Finally SOMEONE has recognized that my school is just a sham cover for a left wing terror cell that is looking to abort babies using solar power, and then use the extra power produced to run our giant brain control machines, turning everyday normal citizens into married gay couples."

"It's cool how you can search under "H" and get Habitat for Humanity and Hamas on the same page. If only I could get someone to explain to me the difference!"

Take a look for yourself—maybe you or somebody you know is on The List.

8. Oooh, the Baptist Peace Fellowship!

Can't have followers of the Prince of Peace actually advocating peace and other commie ideas, can we?

And Episcopal Charities! Go after them! They actually try to practice the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount! And the entire Evangelical Lutheran Church in America!

11. Horowitz has lost it

Listing includes the Catholic Church, City of Palo Alto Utilites, Center for Auto Safety, and this is just part of the madness I found in the C section! Horowitz has obviously forgotten to take his meds and has gone off the deep end.
