The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party [Paperback]

David Horowitz (Author), Richard Poe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 17, 2007

America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party. New York Times best-selling authors David Horowitz and Richard Poe (both former radicals) weave together riveting history, investigative reporting, and cutting political analysis to help expose and explain:

• The Shadow Party's plan to rewrite the US Constitution.
• How the Shadow Party overthrows foreign governments--and why it may attempt to use the same methods here.
• The vast network of private think tanks, foundations, unions, stealth PACs, and other front groups through which the Shadow Party operates in America.
• The network's voluminous contributions to the Democrats, which totaled more than $300 million in the 2004 elections, and its growing influence over the party's message and policy.
• The politicians on both sides of the aisle who have exchanged political favors with George Soros and his "government-in-the-wings."
• The Shadow Party's efforts to conceal its radical agenda behind the "moderate" pose of Hillary Clinton and other public figures.
• The radical network's plan to seize power in 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frightening After 10 Months of Ofraudobama, November 18, 2009

Obama, the man who never did anything, but is now an expert on everything, is the direct beneficiary of the Shadow Party described by Horowitz and Poe. I began using "Ofraudobama" in the spring of 2008 because little of what the man said bore any semblance to reality. My bewilderment at Obamania was due to the fact that I deferred reading Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and "The Shadow Party" until November 2009.

Horowitz and Poe provide an excellent account of the antecedents which produced the coup in Washington in January 2009. While they focus on the influence of George Soros, their real contribution lies in describing the coalescence of disparate Statist special interests into a cohesive political force.

I did not verify the voluminous footnotes, nor can I comment on the precise role Soros actually plays. I can say the authors accurately describe an intricate web of well-funded Statist radicals who intend to redefine America. Some will call it a conspiracy. Some will call it a movement. Whatever it is called, it is in fact an elitist effort to impose their will through authoritarian government, to diminish the global stature of the United States, and to destroy the American economy. It appears they are succeeding.

The authors, writing in 2006, missed the call on Hillary as president. They do describe an element common to all three of the leading candidates for president in 2008: Clinton, Obama, and McCain all received substantial funding from Soros, his foundations, or affiliates of his foundations.

The authors provide a valuable service by naming individuals and organizations involved in the Statist movement, and the tactics they employ. Those same individuals and organizations are well represented in the Obama administration and intimately involved in the promotion of "health care reform" and "cap and trade". The tactics employed by this Statist movement bear an uncanny resemblance to those of Lenin and Alinsky.

The movement described by Horowitz and Poe has matured and has produced a president. Squabbles between "liberals" and "conservatives" are now irrelevant. The argument is now about a free society versus Statism.

The authors provide a road map for understanding this ascendant political power and its authoritarian objectives. Anyone concerned about individual and economic liberty would be well advised to read this book. I particularly recommend this book to those on the Left: what you think you see is not what you will get. If the Statists pass health care and cap and trade legislation, the American experiment in individual liberty and economic freedom will become a footnote in history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scarey reading, June 9, 2008

Very informative even though I did not always like what I was reading. It now makes sense why Ted Kennedy openly gave his support to Obama. It also reveals just how devious and manipultive George Soros really is and how he has his hand in many things (areas) in the world. A must read for any one voting this fall.

This is a must read for everyone....but particularly Democrats who are not aware of the change in their party. It is not the party of your father.
