-Caveat Lector- Whatever you want to label Turner as, if his checkbook could talk it would say "I'm a left-wing wacko!"
Turner, America's biggest landowner, gives money to radical environmentalist groups (Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy) and anti-capitalist groups (Ruckus Society). He's a great phoney who made millions off of the capitalist system, yet masquerades as a radical.
