Radicals Rule the Democratic Party Roost Phil Brennan, NewsMax.com
Book Review: "The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party" David Horowitz, it seems, writes a book about every other day.
And while all his works have been vitally important contributions to the nation's security and welfare, this new book he's penned with Richard Poe sounds an alarm bell that should be heard far and wide.
David Horowitz is a self-described "red diaper baby," the son of dedicated communists and an ex-communist himself. He has been sounding the alarm about the powerful influence exercised by leftist professors on America's campuses and the rebirth of communism under the guise of the so-called "progressive" movement in such books as his most recent "The Professors the 100 Most Dangerous Academics in America."
In "The Shadow Party," Horowitz and co-author Richard Poe point to the man behind the growing leftist control of the national Democratic party George Soros.
To many Americans, George Soros is merely a billionaire whose name appears frequently in the media in connection with left-of-center political matters. He is, in their minds, just another one of those wealthy dilettantes who dabble in politics as a diversion from their fervent pursuit of the almighty dollar.
The George Soros we meet in "The Shadow Party," however, is far more than that.
He might just be the most dangerous man in America, a frenzied leftist ideologue with both a surfeit of the money an estimated $33 billion - and the brains needed to use his money skillfully to impose his twisted will on the United States and the world.
Horowitz and Poe meticulously expose the incredibly sophisticated and successful undercover network Soros has been able to construct with his almost unlimited wealth a network that has captured the Democratic Party, as the primary defeat of Sen. Joe Lieberman has just demonstrated.
Critics describe Lieberman's defeat at the hands of a far-out leftist as an indication of the power over the Democratic Party of the crazed left, exemplified by the Soros funded MoveOn.org's involvement in the Connecticut primary, but it was much more than that. It was Soros' Shadow Party in action, and that party has managed to swallow the Democratic Party whole. It all but owns it now.

Soros, the authors say, is the father of the "progressive" revolution which is steadily undermining American unity. Wrote the authors, "'Progressive' activists have been carrying out a broad-ranging infiltration of American political and cultural institutions for 40 years. Now the effects of that infiltration can be seen in the inability of America's political leaders to form a united front against a clear military threat from abroad." In Soros, this revolution, like the one that established Russia's Soviet Communist government, has its own "Lenin."
Wrote the authors "George Soros is the architect of the Shadow Party' which operates much like a network of holding companies coordinating the disparate branches of this movement, both inside and outside the Democratic Party, and leading them toward the goal of securing state power. Once attained, that power will be used to effect a global transformation economic, social, and political a post-Berlin Wall reincarnation of the old radical dream."
Principal among those Soros has chosen to advance his grandiose dreams, are Hillary Clinton and mob lawyer and ex-Clinton administration operative Harold Ickes, whose shadowy career is carefully examined. Together with a cadre of Soros aides strategically placed in key managerial positions in a network of private think tanks, foundations, unions, stealth political action committees, and other front groups that exist only to carry out Soros' sinister plans for America and the world, they dutifully dance to his tune. The authors discuss Soros' plan to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, and the Shadow Party's contributions of a staggering $300 million in the 2004 elections meant to defeat George Bush. They move on to Soros' plan to use think tanks and foundations to push through campaign finance reform that helped add millions to the coffers of left wing groups while eroding the political liberties of conservatives, and it's plans to win the White House in 2008.
In an exclusive interview with David Horowitz, NewsMax fleshed out the Shadow Party's intentions. NewsMax: Just how dangerous is George Soros? David Horowitz: I think he's pretty damned dangerous.
Soros says the main principle threat to the world is not terrorism but American supremacy. He does not identify with the United States, nor do any of these open-borders-type. He thinks of himself as a world citizen and we are the problem. I think he's very dangerous. He has overthrown many governments he's gotten away with a lot. He broke the Bank of England, for example. He's played high stakes with governments and he's prepared to do what it takes to bring down the regime we have in America. He's somebody to be taken very seriously. NewsMax: What are his beliefs about the U.S.? David Horowitz: In his view the Republicans are radical extremists. Those are dangerous words right there. He regards the Bush administration as a radical administration. He has this hatred of George Bush. Bush-hatred is a displacement of hatred for the United States.
NewsMax: If he succeeds in helping the Democrats win control of Congress after the November elections what would you expect to happen? David Horowitz: I think they'd begin with a impeachment process and investigations. Remember, the Democrats have sabotaged the war on terror from the beginning without having control of the Congress. Imagine what they'll do when they get control. NewsMax: "How will they affect domestic policy? David Horowitz: Domestic policy pales in comparison to the war on terror. We're in the beginnings of World War III. We now have a major enemy in Iran which is backed by the Arab world not wholly - but by and large. These governments in Saudi Arabia and Egypt may not stand against a determined attack from the Islamicists. We have a volatile country in Pakistan, a potentially antagonistic one in Indonesia. There's a big battle going on in the Islamic world. We have a hostile Russia, and a hostile China and a hostile North Korea.
These are very serious times and the post-Joe Lieberman Democrats clearly think that the fault [for all this] is ours. Listen to them talk. Listen to Soros and any of them and if there are terrorists in the world we created them. It's our fault that there are terrorists. That's their argument. They will obstruct the war on terror and present a posture of weakness towards the Islamofascist enemy.
NewsMax: What is Soros ultimate aim?
David Horowitz: They already have a plan to create a global welfare state the United States will put up the money and they'll allegedly use it for wealth redistribution, but what it will really be used for is creating a bigger international left. One of the things we show in "The Shadow Party" is how they use the welfare great society to fund these organizations like the National Welfare Rights organization which became ACORN. The left is bigger, stronger, and more organized today than ever in its history and it's because it's been funded by the American taxpayer through these kind of schemes. George Soros has put together what is really epic making on his part he's put together an organization a shadow party that consists of anti-American billionaires, mob-run unions and government unions, 60s radicals who want a revolution in this country, and the heart of the Democratic party apparatus Podesta, Ickes, and company. That's what's frightening. The Democratic party is now the party of [30s radical] Henry Wallace. It is a radical party. And as Rudy Giuliani said the other night, it's a left-wing party. They don't like capitalism, they don't like America, and they think we are the world's problem. If when there is collateral damage that kills children in Lebanon ultimately George Bush is responsible.
