5. Victor Lasky - a muckraker and liar - he'd be writing for Regan Books today
... along with Coulter, Malkin, and Goldberg. (Indeed, he was close to Goldberg's family.) He was VERY popular with Southern Democrats back in 1963 - quoted like the Bible. A rabid commie-hater and McCarthyist, he was sponsored by the far right in the CIA in the late 50s. He'd be a key player in the Arkansas Project and kin to the SBVT liars. I remember him well. Yechhh!

Here's what Jonah Whaleshit said:
On a personal note, one of my father’s closest friends and my brother’s godfather, Victor Lasky, passed away just as the Soviet Union went under. Not widely known today, there was a time when Victor Lasky was one of America’s greatest anti-Communist and conservative journalists. When Uncle Victor died, I remember my Dad saying, "Well, at least he got to see them go before he did." If I had suggested to my father that Uncle Victor would have been disappointed to see the demise of Communism because it took away a good "wedge issue," he would have popped a gasket.
