Attorney General John Ashcroft and right-wing gadfly David Horowitz no doubt share many views. They also have one dangerous common goal: They want to turn us into a nation of snitches. Just like the good old days of Joseph Stalin and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, they want Americans to spy on one another.

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

1. Sorry to say but I want that database too

I don't want to spend an entire semester despising a fascist asshole professor who has no grip on reality whatsoever.

2. WTF?

HUH? You do realize you and this entire website would be one of the first people on such a database, right?

3. YUP

4. Also

As of the last election, there is more than 54 million voters that are left of center to left. There were 51 million center-right to right wing radical.

I want as much of my money to go "left" as possible.
