Dan Smoot
Dan Smoot: Rest in Peace Dan Smoot, 89, passed
away on July 24th in east Texas. Mr. Smoot, a former
FBI agent, became a successful independent broadcaster whose "Dan
Smoot Report," in TV and radio formats, eventually reached 20
million people weekly. His pro-America, anti-collectivist
broadcasts were clear, concise, and — above all —
uncompromising. Mr. Smoot was one of 25 outstanding "20th
Century Heroes" profiled by The New American
in a series of articles published during 1999-2000. Read our essay
