"The rightwingers are insane," cries blogger Paul Z. Myers. Regarding DTN, he writes, "We aren't responding to this kind of crap strongly enough. These people aren't just clowns saying stupid things that we should laugh off, they are fascists-in-the-making laying the groundwork for not just marginalizing those they disagree with, but treating them as criminals."

"Horowitz has posted his carefully compiled list of nefarious US leftists, and I am royally pissed off. He left me off of it," complains radical blogger Chris Clarke.

Self-described "liberal" blogger Norbizness hails David Horowitz as "Capo di Tutti Capi" of the right, for launching DTN.

Staff writer Daniel Oppenheimer of the Valley Advocate of Easthampton, MA – part of the Advocate chain of leftwing "alternative" newsweeklies owned by the Times Mirror Company – contacts DTN, asking whether we feel "morally comfortable" hawking racist, anti-Semitic smears in the service of political partisanship (I am paraphrasing). Oppenheimer's hatchet job is still in the works. We await the fruits of his labors with bated breath.

Paul Begala has an on-air meltdown on CNN's Crossfire, lashing out angrily at DTN and David Horowitz.
Fasten your seatbelts, folks. It's getting interesting out there.

Horrowitz is guilty of using Hillary's absurd VRWC and satiring in a comedic fashion. Hillary was never challenged to name names and connect the dots. Horrowitz names the names and provides detailed information.
I wish Jamie Gladzov could do a Search as to what these critics said when the VRWC was made by Hillary. Can anybody tell me where the VRWC meets and where do I enlist ?
Every second Thursday the local VRWC chapter meets in the basement at my house. Next meeting we're examining new ways to starve school children, take away Granny's Social Security, and poison the water. New members should bring their own Kool-Aid.
I protest Chris Clarke, PZ Myers and I all started trying to get ourselves on the list at the same time. I am just as much of a leftist as they are. Include me darn it. more details can be found at www.mcdougald.blogspot.com

Notorious Anti-War Anti-Bush Anti-Patriot Act Pro-Civil Liberties Lew Rockwell and the Von Mises Institute is not included. Why?
Hey, what am I, chopped liver? Why doesn't my snipe rate a mention? I'm at least as snarky as Berube, and twice and left-wing. C'mon, I need the exposure!
I would like to add my protest. I had been trying to submit my particulars to your web site since February 16th, but your contact pages were broken until around the 25th. If you're going to put up a web site that plans to attract a lot of attention, you might spend a bit of time beforehand making sure it works. I am still waiting for your response on how to join the left wing millionaires club...
