Thomas > David Horowitz, who's building himself a career out of his efforts to stifle academic freedom and promote political correctness, just got caught forging a letter.

He seems like an out-and-out, unscrupulous fascist to me and a very nasty person. In fact, I'm surprised one or more of the 50,000 people he has smeared as being terrorist sympathizers hasn't sued him for defamation .

>>In the book Unholy Alliance, Horowitz accuses the left of engaging in a conspiracy with Islamic extremists and terrorists. Currently he is promoting an "Academic Bill of Rights." His most recent book, "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America" (Regnery Publishing, 2006), names 101 professors at universities in the United States. These professors are, he says, representative of the left-wing professors in academia whose intent is not to educate their students, but to indoctrinate them. In the first weekend of March, 2006, Horowitz appeared on television to accuse 50,000 (one in eight) U.S. professors of "identify[ing] with terrorists." Horowitz claims, on TV, "50,000 professors" in U.S. "identify with terrorists."<<
