He was a homegrown philospher who wrote the book, "True Believers." It was a book that focused on mass movements. One of the requirements of a true believer is to demonize some group. Hitler of course demonized the Jews. Someone interviewed him one time and asked him if he would be happy if all the Jews were exterminated. He said, "no because then we'd have to find another group to demonize." The extreme left have a lot of the characteristics mentioned in Hoffer's book. Anyone want to weigh in?

I've only seen "Goodfellas" and haven't seen "The Godfather". It's almost laughable, yet "Goodfellas" doesn't get as much notice, which is odd because Joe Pesci is classic. Wouldn’t you know it?

Your comparison is very much on the money. One of my ambitions is to some day write a screenplay of "Radical Son" and would you like to take a guess what the perfect movie is to model it on? "Goodfellas." And the Left gets so offended whenever anyone brings up this comparison: http://newsrealblog.com/2009/08/26/the-humorless-left-cant-take-jokes-or-creativity-in-conservatives-criticism/ No, Witt your comment isn’t off subject at all.

Isn't it the case, especially today (and how ironic!), that fiction still speaks a truth that most aren't willing to speak, that most are unwilling to speak? David's stories, of course, aren't fiction, but they confirm an important job fiction writers (as I hope to be) have: to tell an untold history. Being a fiction writer is no brave task, like the task David is working at, but I hope it provides support and at least something, whatever that may be. Sorry if my comment is a little off subject...
