Marxist Thuggery on the Internet
Phil Brennan
Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2001
There is a Web site mistakenly called democrats.com (it should be .con) - run
by a gaggle of Marxist thugs who could have taught Nazi propaganda minister
Joseph Goebbels a thing or two about political slander. A visit to their Web
site is something akin to stepping into a cesspool - on emerging one feels
soiled and filled with revulsion. I'm not easily shocked - I lived through
years of Marxist propaganda emanating from the bowels of 3 Dzerzinski Square,
KGB headquarters in Moscow, which turned out slanderous lies about the
Kremlin's anti-communist foes - but one of democrats.con's latest assaults on
the truth astounded me.
Here it is in all its enormity:
"Bush White House Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Neo-Naziesque 'FReeper' Group"
"Bush has made it all but impossible for anyone who disagrees with him to get
within a mile of the White House. But now we find he gave a cozy special
welcome to a large party of so-called FReepers (short for Free Republic).
These folks are, essentially, one step on the food chain above Neo-Nazis, and
often just as vicious. They are the ones responsible for a high % of the
especially nasty (i.e, unprintable here), even threatening e-mails to folks
who express opinions they don't like on Internet forums (we've gotten some
pretty horrendous FReeper mail here at Dems, believe me!). They are bigoted,
paranoid, and very pro-gun - not a very nice combination. Yet these are the
folks given a big ole warm southern (Confederate?) welcome by the White
House. So, when can we expect the formation of the 'Bush Youth' movement?"
Let's dissect that masterpiece of Goebbelian nonsense line by line:
1. "Bush has made it impossible for anyone who disagrees with him to get
within a mile of the White House -"
How is it that comrades Daschle & Gephardt and other members of the Democrat
Socialist party pay regular visits to the White House? As fervent advocates
of socialist dogma they disagree with the president almost always.
2. "But now we find that he gave a cozy special welcome to a large party of
so-called FReepers (short for Free Republic)."
He did no such thing. He couldn't. He was on his ranch in Texas on Aug. 18,
the day members of the D.C. chapter of Free Republic were given a tour of the
Executive Mansion.
Moreover, President Bush had nothing to do with the visit of these good
people. They were given a tour arranged by Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga. - the kind of
tour members of Congress routinely arrange for constituents and other
friendly groups.
3. "These folks are, essentially, one step on the food chain above Neo-Nazis,
and often just as vicious."
What was that about vicious? Freepers are the kind of concerned patriots who
made this nation, fought its wars, and are dedicated to preserving our
liberty in the face of the Marxist onslaught now led by the Democrat
Socialist party.
They are the loyal Americans who are fans of the Free Republic Web site,
which allows members to post their opinions and encourages them to voice
their opinions in a forum that permits politically incorrect thought (meaning
anti-Marxism) to be aired in an era when the socialist U.S. mainstream media
go to great lengths to silence it.
One apparent reason why the thugs at democrats.com have it in for the Free
Republic group is the fact that the Freepers have researched the origins of
the Web site and broadcast information the backers of democrats.com would
just as soon not see the light of day.
4. "They are the ones responsible for a high % of the especially nasty (i.e,
unprintable here), even threatening e-mails to folks who express opinions
they don't like on Internet forums (we've gotten some pretty horrendous
FReeper mail here at Dems, believe me!)."
Translation: They send e-mail protesting the slime posted on democrats.com.
5. "They are bigoted, paranoid, and very pro-gun - not a very nice
combination. Yet these are the folks given a big ole warm southern
(Confederate?) welcome by the White House."
My God - they support the Second Amendment right of self-defense? What could
they be thinking? They were given no more of a greeting than any of the other
congressionally sponsored tour groups that visited the White House that day.
6. "So, when can we expect the formation of the 'Bush Youth' movement?"
In other words, the Bush White House is one step away from talking a page
from the Hitler Youth Movement - did I see something about being vicious?
The Democrat party, whose cause these slimeballs champion, is for all intents
and purposes a national socialist party - it's impossible to differentiate
between the goals of socialism and those of the national Democrat party - a
whole slew of top members of Congress, for example, belong to the so-called
Progressive Caucus - an arm of the Democratic Socialists of America. You can
find out who they are by going to
http://www.bannerofliberty.com/OS2-01HL/2-23-2001.1.html.
Keep that in mind when you read such tripe as "These folks are, essentially,
one step on the food chain above Neo-Nazis, and often just as vicious." or
"So, when can we expect the formation of the 'Bush Youth' movement?"
For what is essentially a socialist group to compare the president of the
United States, and a group of patriotic Americans to Nazi thugs is to
overlook the fact that the Nazi party was a socialist organization - National
Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche
Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP, called, for short, Nazi).
A socialist organization - just like the current National Democrat Socialist
Elite Party that backs the Democrats.com Web site. Just who are these people?
I am indebted to a dogged researcher (not a freeper) who has done a bang-up
job of digging into the slime pit that calls itself democrats.com. What
follows is part of his research results.
"Democrats.com has long denied any affiliation with the Democrat Party and
has stated so when soliciting contributions for political activism. But the
record suggests that Democrats.com is closely affiliated with the Democrat
party through several high level Democrat party insiders and a purported
business relationship. It is further evident that Democrats.com participated
in and solicited donations for several "independent" efforts benefiting Al
Gore during the Florida recounts, all this despite its close relationship
with the Democrat party and what also appears to be a relationship of some
degree - informally if not formally - with the Gore campaign itself ...
"Through a lengthy search of the Democrats.com website, WHOIS domain name
searches, and Democrats.com news releases, I have identified the following
Democratic party and Clinton official insiders to be involved in
Democrats.com in a leadership capacity. Democrats.com has long presented
itself to the media and the public as unaffiliated with the DNC and Democrat
leadership. Similarly, the DNC has also denied affiliation with
Democrats.com.
"But Democrats.com's board of directors found at
http://www.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=89 demonstrates that this claim is
not very truthful. The fact is, Democrats.com is operated by high level DNC
insiders, former Clinton Administration officials, and former Al Gore for
President campaign officials. Democrats.com also boasts in the deeper pages
of its website about a strong business connection with the DNC and the
campaign websites of Democrat congressmen ..."
Included, according to this source:
David Lytel - Web master for the Clinton Whitehouse (formerly at
www.whitehouse.gov). Lytel served in the Clinton administration from 1993
until 1996 as the White House Web master and as a writer for Al Gore. Lytel's
profile on the Democrats.com "members only" portion of the site (it is
accessible by password after you join Democrats.com) touts his White House
Web site as being called "easily one of the best sites on the Net" by the
webzine Hotwired ... Lytel is involved in Sherpa Consulting Group of
Syracuse, N.Y.
Greg Simon - Former Gore domestic policy adviser in the office of the vice
president. Simon was also Gore's chief campaign strategist during his 2000
presidential bid and post-election recount. Simon was a part of the Gore
campaign's "inner circle" along with Bill Daley and Donna Brazille.
Arkansas native Simon's background includes having worked for Gore as his
chief domestic policy adviser during the Clinton administration, and then as
a lobbyist for several technology companies including the domain registry
firm Network Solutions Inc. ("Gore's lobbyist contributors reap access."
Boston Globe, 1/26/00). ... He heads up Simon Strategies Inc., a D.C.
technology consulting firm (www.simoninc.com). Simon has also served on the
advisory board of Politics.com
(http://www.simoninc.com/simonnetcontent.html).
Simon was the honored speaker at a Democrats.com event hosted during the
Democrat National Convention in Los Angeles last year
(http://www.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=139). His profile on Democrats.com's
"members only" section (found
athttp://community.democrats.com/members/simon/) notes that Simon "serves as
an informal advisor to the Gore campaign." Aside from demonstrating that (1)
Simon tends to stretch the truth - he was a lot more than a mere "informal
advisor" and (2) Simon hasn't updated his biography since his candidate lost,
this site also shows that he was a part of Democrats.com in some capacity at
the same time he was working on the Gore campaign. Whether he was on the
board of directors at the time of the campaign is unknown, but it appears to
be highly likely. Simon is certainly on the board of directors for
Democrats.com now and has been since the first I knew of Democrats.com early
last March.
Jim Buie - Buie is an ex-reporter and the founder of Internet Democrats, the
predecessor site of Democrats.com (http://www.internetdemocrats.org/).
Internet Democrats also ran an organization called Friends of Hillary, which
set up state chapters to support Hillary Clinton. Though I have been unable
to find much information on this organization (which now has been
incorporated to Democrats.com), I believe it is behind a recent internet
rumor that suggests Hillary Clinton is the real force behind Democrats.com.
Again, I have not verified the Hillary Clinton rumor but it could have a
connection to "Friends of Hillary" through Buie ...
Jonathan P. "Jock" Gill - A former Clinton administration official who served
as director of special projects in the Office of Media Affairs. Gill worked
on the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign as one of their technology experts. He is a
frequent article author on Democrats.com and runs Penfield-Gill Inc.
(penfield-gill.com) a media consulting firm used by, among others, Simon
Strategies of Greg Simon.
Stan Greenberg - The Al Gore for President campaign's chief pollster and all
around DNC insider. Aside from the Gore campaign, Greenberg was used as a
pollster by Bill Clinton during his early White House term (the two
apparently split paths after the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress).
Greenberg is also the husband of prominent Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro
[editor's note: a member of the above-mentioned Progressive Caucus].
Greenberg's work as a pollster/consultant includes Democrats Bill Clinton, Al
Gore, Chris Dodd, Jeff Bingaman, Walter Mondale, and Joseph Lieberman, not to
mention the Democratic National Committee. Greenberg is often considered the
foremost Democrat pollster in the business.
Dick Bell - Bell is the former interactive media director of the DNC and
works for Worldwatch Institute (www.worldwatch.org), a left-wing
environmentalist organization. Bell's background in the Democrat party goes
all the way back to 1984, when he worked on John Kerry's Senate race. Bell
worked for the DSCC (Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee) as an opposition
researcher for Democrat challenger campaigns. Bell also helped create the DNC
Web site.
Bob Fertik - Founder of the 501(c)4 feminist group Women Leaders Online.
Fertik is also involved in the Eleanor's List Fund, which recruits
pro-abortion Democrat female candidates in New York. It is rumored that
Fertik is involved in a group called Democrats for Choice. He was a
consultant to Geraldine Ferrarro's New York Senate bid in 1998 against Chuck
Schumer in the primary. Fertik also has some sort of connection with a
reported umbrella group for left-wing "non-profit" organizations called
I-progress, which he runs out of a New York City post office box (P.O. Box
20594, New York, N.Y. 10021.
Personnel is not the only direct tie between Democrats.com and the Democrat
party. As was noted, Democrats.com reports itself to have extensive direct
business relations with the DNC and other Democrat party institutions.
DNC - According to Democrats.com's own Web site, Democrats.com is the
"exclusive vendor of Internet services for the Democratic National
Committee's online store" (http://www.us.net/indc/indem.htm).
DCCC - According to Democrats.com's own Web site, the "Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee selected Democrats.com for ... building and
hosting a secure Intranet for House campaign managers."
(http://www.us.net/indc/indem.htm) It also lists "Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee/Take Back the House" as one of its customers
(http://democrats.com/commerce/candidate). Democrats.com claims on its Web
site to have hosted the Web sites of several dozen congressional campaigns.
"In researching Democrats.com, I have identified at least eleven separate
domain names that are owned and used by Democrats.com through domain
registration WHOIS searches. I have noted each domain, who it is registered
to, date of registry, contact, site that it links to, and any unusual
characteristics surrounding it. Most of these domain names were set up for
individual political causes, which seem to operate under the umbrella of
Democrats.com. There could easily be more than those I have listed, and in
fact I believe there to be more as I keep stumbling across new ones. Please
note that many of these domain names are registered at the same P.O. box that
is used by a non-profit 501(c)4 feminist group called Women Leaders Online."

the election (formatted in an extremely similar manner to several other sites
owned by Democrats.com).
Notes: obviously fraudulent phone contact info given with registration.
Notice that Lytel registered the domain name on Nov. 1, six days before the
election and long before anybody knew who was going to win. This suggests the
Web site was created to as a preparation tool to attack Bush's legitimacy if
and when he won the presidency a week later. Recall that Gore campaign
strategists were prepared for the event that there would be a contested
election before Election Day, and quickly mobilized in Florida within a day
of the election.

recounts and litigation efforts in Florida, and to solicit contributions to
further promote pro-Gore efforts in Florida.
Notes: obviously fraudulent phone contact info given with registration. The
date this Web site was registered is also peculiar and suggests possible
insider knowledge of a long, drawn out election contest. Recall that on the
day after the election, most political pundits still thought that the
election would be settled by the automatic recount expected to conclude later
that week. Only as the end of the automatic recount approached was there any
indication that election contests would continue for another month.

And this is only part of the story of this bunch of socialist malcontents who
continue to question the legitimacy of George W. Bush's presidency.
This, by the way, is the same disreputable outfit that insists against all
the evidence that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is involved in an adulterous affair
with a member of his administration - a rumor even the most ardent anti-Bush
journalists scorn as a disgusting and outright falsehood.
Democrats.com is the Democrat party - and just reading the filth and
distortions it publishes says more about that party than its most dedicated
foes could say.
