Win, In an effort to balance this thread from the efforts of Stockman Scott, who inundates us in left wing drivel, I offer the following news: theonion.com And our new offensive: theonion.com John

somewhat more effective variant of the thought police in action. If you had read the earlier posts, Win, (Hey, it's only 500 a day or so!) you would have seen that I posted an article to John about this group, and it's effect on Academia. Since Said and his followers of Radical Professors and Mid-East Immigrants effectively took over the "Mid East" departments of our Universities, instead of teaching the subject, they have become nests of radical "Anti-Israeli" sentiment. They have been so "Virulent" about it that Academics with opposite viewpoints can't get hired or published in their Academic Journals. Daniel Pipes, and other well respected ME Academics who can't get into the system, have become disgusted with it, and have launched a counterattack to expose what they are doing. This subject would be "OT" here, except that these people have become so outrageous about it that they are refusing to teach Arabic to Government sponsored students. And their outlook is so one-sided that they are teaching and advocating only Anti-Israeli behavior. The column you posted is whining about the fact that their behavior is now going to be exposed to the light of day. Good! Before 9/11, they could get away with it, but the University boards don't like this one-sided approach to Mid-East problems, and since 9/11 they tend to get mad when they see it. So now you will witness these people screaming "McCarthyism" and "Thought Police," and scuttling to get under the baseboards when the searchlight of exposure hits them. I don't intend to clutter the board with a lot of posts on this subject, It is too "Third Rail" for us.
