Funding counterjihad activists
The Politico website reported in September 2010 that the Center was responsible for funding Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch website:
- Though it was not listed on the public tax reports filed by Horowitz’s Freedom Center, POLITICO has confirmed that the lion’s share of the $920,000 it provided over the past three years to Jihad Watch came from [Joyce] Chernick, whose husband, Aubrey Chernick, has a net worth of $750 million, as a result of his 2004 sale to IBM of a software company he created, and a security consulting firm he now owns.[5]
The Conservative Transparency database shows that the Horowitz Freedom Center made three donations between 2010 and 2012 to Jihad Watch: -$45,500 in 2012 -$95,000 in 2011 -$30,000 in 2010 [6]
