"The Unmitigated Gall of Dinesh D'Souza"

I read an article by San Diego Reader journalist, Thomas Larson, and was quite surprised about the topic.  Mr. Larson wrote a 12,000 word article profiling Dinesh D'Souza; it discussed his views, his two major books Illiberal Education and The End of Racism, and how he made his money/his family life.  A week after it had been published, Larson's article appeared on Dinesh's personal website, only not in its complete form.  Dinesh cut it down, removing paragraphs in which his personal life was discussed and criticisms of his arguments namely criticism of his argument that "Democrats, because they supported gay rights, are now the party of "bestiality" and sexual deviance."  Mr. Larson wasn't notified of these changes, and this sparked off a big controvery.  I find it interesting that Mr. D'Souza has the audacity to do such a rude and illegal act.  It's even more interesting that Mr. D'Souza, who is a hardcore Republican committed to the principles of private property,  would do such a thing, and then carelessly shrug it off like he did nothing wrong.  The article can be found here.
