There’s another thing they’ve got in common – they’re all descended from monkeys

Feels very similar to activistcash.org which takes easily accessible public information, and tries to whip a nice froth of hysteria over their discoveries. Getting mentioned to AC is definitely something of a status symbol in certain groups. FtN will have to work hard to match its breathless sincerity.

C’mon, folks: this is David Horowitz we’re talking about: Karl Marx would make his big-deal lefty-link-list-o-fame, but so would Harpo and Chico, no doubt. The guy is just a chromosome shy of being Ann Coulter with a beard: who takes this clown seriously?

Christ, the American Hydrogen Association is in there. What a maroon Horowitz is.

Surely you can do this for the right as well. In fact, it would be much more convinving to build a map like this for all political actors everywhere, without assuming some straightforward left-right split must exist. There are plenty of people on the right with links to bin Laden and Iraq’s Baath party too, after all.

It looks as though you need a username and password now. Anyone have one they would like to share?

Well, Marx supposedly supported Arsenal, as does bin Laden. Oh, but then so do I. It’s a fair cop, guv—put me on the list!

Another lefty-bashing web site? One seriously wonders who is paying the bills.

Perhaps this is unfairly nitpicking for a site still in beta, but in addition to all the missing people (me, for instance) and the dead people, it has people listed at their old jobs. Rogers Smith and Robert Johnston have both left Yale, for instance. And while it has the Harvard Alumni Association (that bastion of socialism), it doesn’t have Rocky Mountain News; ...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. Marjie Griek, executive director of the Colorado Association of Recyclers, said her group represents industry and city-based recycling programs and does educational work. "I think it's a rather sad statement for their organization that they would consider us leftist," she said, then added with a laugh: "Who knows? We just might topple the government if we recycle too much."

Louis Farrakhan?! Oh, that’s right, the anti-semetic thing.

Davey thinks he’s hid his site. But we still have it. Heh, heh, heh.

Harvard Alumni Association, which of course includes the B-School, right? Which includes ummmm…Fearless Leader, right? Why does Fearless Leader hate America, going to such a lefty school and all?
