To those who knew him, or thought they they knew him, he was a cerebral, fun-loving gadfly who hosted boozy gatherings for Hollywoods political conservatives. David Stein brought right-wing congressmen, celebrities, writers and entertainment industry figures together for shindigs, closed to outsiders, where they could scorn liberals and proclaim their true beliefs.
Over the past five years Steins organisation, Republican Party Animals, drew hundreds to regular events in and around Los Angeles, making him a darling of conservative blogs and talkshows. That he made respected documentaries on the Holocaust added intellectual cachet and Jewish support to Steins cocktail of politics, irreverence and rock and roll.
There was just one problem. Stein was not who he claimed. His real name can be revealed for the first time publicly it was known to a close circle of confidants as David Cole. And under that name he was once a reviled Holocaust revisionist who questioned the existence of Nazi gas chambers. He changed identities in January 1998.

Some of Stein/Coles erstwhile friends are media figures with blogs, newspaper columns and syndicated radio shows. They put a lid on the story. Not a word has been published or broadcast. When people found out it was, Oh my God, get the fuck away from him. There was debate about whether everyone would look guilty by association, said one entertainment industry artist, a member of Republican Party Animals, who requested anonymity. The reason we were all so pissed at him is it plays into every horrible stereotype about the right.

(9,118 posts)Sorry, wingnutz, but the truth does come to light. In these times of right-wing glitz and hype and flagrant lying, progressives and other decent-minded people have been forced to do their homework and you all just can't hide the grubby pasts of your operatives the way you used to. The truth WILL come out--in this case sooner rather than later.
I won't say that I'm not indulging in some schadenfreude, because if I said so, I'd be lying.
My, my, my. Look at the splatter hitting all the pretty right-wing suits and dresses. (Heh! Heh! Heh!)
To quote from that book so many of your fellow wing-nutz (particularly the Southern wingnutz) like waving around (But don't seem to enjoy reading all that much): "For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."
