TigersEye :" I don’t know this Skousen or what he thinks but if they fear
ultra-right wait ‘til they discover the Federalist Papers."

" The book’s notes and annotations are by W. Cleon Skousen, a rabidly anti-Communist ideologue who took to rewriting history to support his ultra-right, Bible-based theories."
"Skousen’s edition interprets the Constitution as evidence that the United States is subject to a Christian God’s ruling.
It emphasizes that the federal government should not interfere in people’s lives."
" Skousen was a former FBI agent and briefly the police chief of Salt Lake City — until the mayor fired him,
saying he was “a master of half truths” and ran the police department “like a gestapo.”"
Following his death in 2006, he became a darling of the Tea Party."

Thanks. That’s definitely more condensed than the biography of him at the link.
