The title of the post is I think what I said. I had the somewhat awkward experience today of talking with a David Horowitz (and Michelle Malkin) fan today. While our talk was pleasant enough, what can one offer up on either of these two opportunistic extremists.A grand example of the "lapsed leftist" according to Media Transparency, I'm sure David Horowitz is truly useful to the right. Well paid for his efforts, perhaps that explains his conversion?
Then again it could be that he's just plain nuts. His recent Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (part of his Terrorism Awareness Project which is part of his David Horowitz Freedom Center) was surely a classic in wing-nuttery. His FrontPage webzine is always "interesting". Today for instance there's an article labeled "Islamist in the Army" and a teaser of "Thanks to the Islamic Circle of North America, our military has been infiltrated" both there and on Joe Kaufman's Americans Against Hate site. However, a closer reading reveals that Deep Thought, a.k.a. Lawrence, a.k.a. Bilal is an unknown. They've infiltrated huh?
There's a great list of articles examining David Horowitz in the Media Transparency link above but Media Matters provides plenty as well. I found "Its the teachers, stupid" perfectly illustrative of why I loathe the man. As Robert W. McChesney pointed out in examining the last screed from Horowitz, he simply doesn't know how classroom teaching works yet the main thing is how he claims "innumerable studies" support his position. They don't even come close but for folks like Jim "Conservative Tool" Wooten and David "Lapsed Leftist" Horowitz it matters not.
I hope and pray Salon culled him for just being a goober yet surely they could find somebody from the right that could bring a better game. As to David Horowitz I'm no fan indeed. Peace ... or War!
