2. He coined the word "Islamofascists"

Frank Gaffney, a former Reagan administration official who got his start working under Richard Perle on the staff of Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson (D-WA) in the 1970s, is a prominent neoconservative hardliner whose Center for Security Policy (CSP) serves as a clearinghouse for information and analyses that promote controversial weapons programs, a Likudnik line on Mideast peace issues, and an expansive "war on terror" targeting "Islamofascists" (a popular Gaffney term) throughout the Middle East.

Gaffney has also supported a long line of rightist and neoconservative advocacy groups and research institutes. He was a founding member of the Project for the New American Century, a neocon-led letterhead group formed in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan to champion a "Reaganite" foreign policy based on military strength and an interventionist overseas agenda. Gaffney is also a contributing expert for the Israel-based Ariel Center, which maintains a number of close links to rightist pro-Israel groups in the United States, and is a member of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), the hawkish anti-communist Cold War-era group that was revived after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to champion the war on terror. He is an adviser for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, created after 9/11 with the purported mission of "promoting pluralism, defending democratic values, and fighting the ideologies that drive terrorism," and was an adviser to the now largely defunct Americans for Victory over Terrorism, created in 2002 by a William Bennett-led group of hardliners and neoconservatives.


After the presidential victory of Ronald Reagan, Gaffney joined the Pentagon, where he served as an aide to then-Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle. Because of his pugnacity, especially toward State Department officials, Gaffney earned the moniker "Perle's Bulldog." After Perle resigned in 1987, Gaffney was nudged out of the Pentagon by Perle's replacement Frank Carlucci. Gaffney subsequently created the Center for Security Policy, which counts among its advisers an impressive list of retired military brass and elite public policy figures.

Gaffney is also one of the principals of the Set America Free Coalition. The coalition—which includes military contractors, neocons, and greens—shares staff and principals with the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. It believes that national security is closely connected with energy security, especially from Middle East oil. Its slogan is "Cut Dependence on Foreign Oil. Secure America."

The largely neocon group includes Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY); Clifford May, president of Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Robert McFarlane; Thomas Neumann of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, Daniel Pipes of Middle East Forum, James Woolsey, and Meyrav Wurmser of the Hudson Institute. Other notables include Gary Bauer of American Values, former Sen. Lincoln Chaffee (R-RI), David Harris of the American Jewish Committee, and Milton Copulos of the National Defense Council Foundation.

4. You have to understand their concern

There is only room for so many kinds of fascists, and they are filled up with corpofascists, Christofascists, and the willing and obedient slaves to the military industrial machine. They can't tolerate the competition.
