John Foster "Chip" Berlet is active on the internet and on the leftist talk-show and interview circuit, as a researcher who specializes in tracking and analyzing right-wing movements. However, like his colleague Dennis King, Berlet has made much of his reputation by attacking Lyndon LaRouche, charging that LaRouche has an hidden right-wing agenda. The story is complicated by the fact that both Berlet and King have accepted money from known right wingers, for the purposes of carrying out their campaign against LaRouche -- Berlet from Richard Mellon-Scaife, and King from the Smith-Richardson Foundation. Oddly enough, the source for these charges is Berlet himself, quoted in what has become known as the Quinde Affidavit.
