So David Horowitz, a big big giant prancing cheerleader for the Bush administration has been trying to push himself off onto us as a objective journalist, when he's nothing more than Dubya's 'Comical Ali'.

| David Horowitz and Comical Ali. Separated at intellectual birth? "The liberals will perish in great numbers inside Washington D.C." |
Recently Horowitz posted the following claptrap:
"The email below is making the rounds and is something that defenders of the President and this country ought to know to be better able to deal with them... a.. Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice President in the Oval Office. b.. Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years. c.. It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities. d.. The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times. e. The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels and even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it. f.. The taxpayer-supported Export-Import Bank subsidized Enron for more than $600 million in just one transaction. Scandalous!! g.. BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush. h.. SURPRISE ........ It was Bill Clinton!"
on his website as if it were some grand truth, without for one second thinking to fact-check, or even think if it sounded sane. If he'd so much as looked here, or here he would have seen this was a hoax.
But even if he did indeed did print a retraction later, it's this kind of piss-poor jounalism that marks what we're seeing now that is really propaganda that tries to pass as the truth. Shame on Horowitz, and the other journalists that work themselves into such a lather to support ANY politician or powerful person and throw away the truth in favor of something that sounds good are a black mark to their entire profession.
