  David Horowitz: Can He Please Go Away?
Front Page magazine has an excerpt from David Horowitz's upcoming book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.

Horowitz: "Not all of the professors depicted in this volume hold views as extreme as Ward Churchill’s, but a disturbing number do." (Cornel West is one of these scary, scary professors.)

Don't we all have better things to worry about?

Horowitz's book is obviously designed to tap into the pool of conservatives who get really, really upset about the liberal threat to the academy, and talk about how hard it is to be conservative on campus.

(Almost like being black in Alabama in 1968. Oh, wait—not really.)

Looks to me like this book is just going to be boring.

I do, however, like the looks of the sassy young lady featured wearing a snug-fitting t-shirt that says "ACLU—Enemy of the State." Who says Republicans aren't sexy? She could subvert my ideology any time....
 
Comments:
Proving that it's not just the Republican defense budget that's inflated.
 
david horowitz always disappoints me... when we were kids he had this show on PBS, i think, called "fight back, with david horowitz." and he was this consumer advocate, finding out when companies labeled things wrong and got them to change them to the correct version, helping people who'd been screwed by their landlords... that kind of thing. not unlike CBS's "shame on you."

watching horowitz was exciting and i always felt like the good guys could win. when i found out that this "new" david horowitz is actually the same guy it made me kinda sad. dopey, i know.
