HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE – AGAIN

HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE – AGAIN Witch-hunter answers Raimondo – whines about ‘character assassination’ Editorial note: We reprint below a letter posted on David Horowitz’s Frontpage site, Horowitz’s crazed answer, and Justin Raimondo’s rejoinder. HOROWITZ EXPOSED I used to think David Horowitz was the cat’s pajamas for taking on the Left, but now am having “second … Continue reading “HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE – AGAIN”

FEAR HAS ITS USES

As the portentous sixtieth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor approached, the scene was set for yet another vague warning of an imminent terrorist threat, this time from the Chicken Littles over at the Office of Homeland Defense: “The threats we are picking up are very generic. They warn of more attacks but are … Continue reading “FEAR HAS ITS USES”

Sweep ‘Em off the Streets

We all stopped and watched the balloon vendor as he scampered wildly to escape the cops. He insisted in keeping his balloons, chair and air pump with him as he escaped and I yelled (in English because I was excited) for him to forget that stuff and just get away. As if that were possible … Continue reading “Sweep ‘Em off the Streets”

Are Palestinians Human?

As Israeli warplanes pounded Palestinian cities, Israel’s media spin-doctor, Benjamin Netanyahu, was being interviewed on the Fox News Channel where he likened Arafat to Osama bin Laden and accused him of having "suicide kindergarten camps for kids to prepare the next generation of suicide bombers" (Dec. 3, 2001). It is exactly this type of hogwash … Continue reading “Are Palestinians Human?”

Brute Force Doesn’t Solve Conflicts

The attacks between Palestinians and Israelis this past week have dominated the news.

But none of the … Continue reading “Brute Force Doesn’t Solve Conflicts”

New Dangers in the Middle East

In its report Monday, it said that the unspoken upshot of the hurried and quite private meeting between George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon was that “the major Israeli offensive … Continue reading “New Dangers in the Middle East”

HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE

David Horowitz, the ex-Communist and former Black Panther groupie turned stereotypical right-winger, has kicked off his pro-war “Think Twice” speaking tour of college campuses on a rather bizarre note. The “red diaper baby” who morphed into a neoconservative went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and gave a strangely disjointed and vehement … Continue reading “HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE”

ASHCROFT’S REIGN OF TERROR

“Between government in the republican meaning, that is, Constitutional, representative, limited government, on the one hand, and Empire on the other hand, there is mortal enmity. Either one must forbid the other or one will destroy the other. That we know. Yet never has the choice been put to a vote of the people.” – … Continue reading “ASHCROFT’S REIGN OF TERROR”

Chinese Embrace Progress

It took me a long time to figure out what the banner above the Foreign Expert Building meant, but finally one of my more studious colleagues translated it for me: "The Falun Gong is an international antigovernment tool." Yes. This banner was hanging in the middle of one of the busiest walkways in Southwest Normal … Continue reading “Chinese Embrace Progress”
