According to an article in the Nation that I referred to a month or so ago, David Horowitz received $500,000 from Richard Mellon Scaife, whose politics are distinguishable from Austria's Joerg Haider only in that he keeps his anti-Jewish sentiments under wraps. So when someone with politics that would be defined as "fascist" in Europe contributes a huge chunk of change to our L'il David, suddenly, like a NFL linebacker pumped up on anabolic steroids, he is ready to take on the entire "left" which in his addled brain, assumes the appearance of that nemesis of his one time amour propre, Leon Trotsky, in other words, the evil Joseph Stalin. People have turned tricks for a lot less.
