Che said:David Horowitz is a well known right-wing crackpot. Everyone knows it. This book is most likely a biased piece of FOX news garbage.
Horowitz exposes 101 academics--representative of thousands of radicals who teach our young people--who also happen to be alleged ex-terroists, racists, murderers, sexual deviants, anti-Semites, and al-Qaeda supporters. Horowitz blows the cover on academics who:
--say they want to kill white people
--promote the views of the Iranian mullahs
--support Osama bin Laden
--lament the demise of the Soviet Union
--defend pedophilia
--advocate the killing of ordinary Americans

That is racism, racism is a reactionary thought. And that is completely dumb****.--say they want to kill white people
Iran is a totalitarian-theocratic state, down with it!--promote the views of the Iranian mullahs
It is true we do have different views on him, unlike most others we do not see him as "an evil man to be killed", nor do we see him as a "freedom fighter". Personally I don't think he's much of a threat, and we try to study why he did it.--support Osama bin Laden
I'm glad the USSR collapsed, it gives us commies a larger sandbox. No longer are we controlled by Moscow, and no longer are we just Soviet spies.--lament the demise of the Soviet Union
Dumb**** too.--advocate the killing of ordinary Americans

Most of these professor left over left wing radicals from the 1960's.
Gardener said:Among those professors of whom I am aware through their writings, I would say most are reprensible people and I have nothing but contempt for them. These people are not liberals by a long shot, however, as most are in middle eastern studies and represent ideologies that are hardly liberal. They are either marxists or have an agenda driven by sympathies to the virulent right wing ideologies as represent by Islamism.
One professor who stands out as undeserving is Tod Gitlin, who is more representative of liberal ideology. Todd has been very outspoken against the antisemitism and tacit support for Islamism endemic to much of the radical left and he is not a fifth columnist as are many of the others.
People need to learn to distinguish between the actual points of views espoused by those too easily summed up through the labeling of "liberal" or conservative", and just as there are huge differences between George Will and Fred Phelps, so too are their huge differences between folks like Tod Gitlin and many of these jihadist professors.
Manichean world views serve little purpose other than to lessen the intellectual burdon on the one who espouses such. It takes a lot more work to distinguish between varous shades and degrees than it does to just apply a label and then shoot from the hip, and while the latter may supply some degree of comfort, it is really just laziness. The world is always more complicated than any of us realize.
In any case, I agree in part with Horowitz, but I also disagree in part.

As long as they don't start that crap in high school or jr high. Hopefully by the time my kids are college age their foundation will be strong enough that they aren't able to be brainwashed by some wacky professor.
Whether you choose to call these professors Marxists, Socialists, Communists or Liberals--the point here is that their teachings are un-American (anti-American) and are exactly 180 degrees from the proud patriotic Conservative's viewpoint--be it as a minority conservative professor, or from an ordinary conservative citizen's standpoint.

Let's start with Dick Cunningham. How American was what he did?Originally posted by pstdkid:
***I'm the one doing the laughing here. Would it be the American thing to support our troops during war? If yes, then how would you explain John Kerry's position of first rallying behind protestors in 1972 to oppose the Vietnam war? Then, how would you classify Kerry's statement that our troops in Iraq are terrorists? First he voted to give the president the right to go to war, then he was against the war. First he voted for the appropriations for our troops, then he voted against it. This sounds more than just being a flip-flopper--the guy is basically a traitor to the American cause.
And Marxism is a form of socialism where the unions become the mediocre goal in which to enslave people. Marxism is the exact opposite of Capitalism. And Capitalism is what made this country the strongest economic nation on earth.
What you might want to do here to defend liberalism or marxism from being labeled un-American--is to put forth every issue, every ideal, or every house resolution etc that helped make this country great. You could start with the failed welfare reforms from the Great Society and work your way forward if you like. Be specific in your praise of liberalism and marxism. Please do not refer to George Orwell's utopian book '1984' to get your ideas. That will not cut it. I'm looking for concrete accomplishments.
no not in all circumstancesWould it be the American thing to support our troops during war?
