Thoughts On the Tides Foundation

Recently Byron Williams has been arrested. He was targeting the ACLU and the Tides Foundation. The Left have focused on how Glenn Beck has recently focused upon this organization. See TPM and Media Matters.

I first heard about this organization from David Horowitz's DiscoverThe Networks. Here is their profile of Tides. I first heard about them around 2007. They said that the Tides Foundation was the second greatest foundation funder of the Left, behind the Ford Foundation. Similar to Glenn Beck today they asserted that the Tides Foundation is quite powerful.

Today I would be quite skeptical of these assertions. Discover The Networks very often likes to associate the modern day Left with Communism. That rhetorical tactic is vastly overdone there.
