Since the Judith Miller affair the lefty media has taken off the gloves, they no longer even pretend to be playing it straight.

A Must Read:

Unholy Alliance :
Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
by David Horowitz

**************************************

Vastly Illuminating, September 25, 2004

Reviewer:

Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

Isikoff is nothing but a pimp for the left-wing media. He used to claim fairness but now he doesn't even pretend to be unbiased.

Not sure what this has to do with the article I posted but I am sure Mr. Horowitz' book is a good read, thank you.

[johnqueuepublic]

Newsweek Al-Jazeera is at it again. It does not surprise me to see Lying Izzy try another round to assail America and its values.

"Actually Arkin, like Parkin is a Bush hater and far-left activist."

Plus them boobs be a rhymin!!! (Snark!)

[johnqueuepublic]

I guess the people who run Newsweek don't understand how this makes them look to anyone with a brain and a browser.

Have to go back to Judith Miller, after that event the leftist media just quit pretending.

[johnqueuepublic]

Yeah, a maroon for sure.

[johnqueuepublic]

Busta lefty rhyme.

Goes back at least to RATher/Mapes... the MSM and their Democrat benefactors are now working hand-in-hand with socialists and Marxists. To them, the enemy is conservatism... it isn't al Qaeda and radical Islam.

The left knows that they can only win if our nation is reduced to rubble... under a Republican administration. They have been working toward this goal since November 3, 2000.

[johnqueuepublic]

Yes the RATs/Mapes/Rather caper, fake but true, same standard here, but Isikoff is better at constructing a facade that he can hide behind.

How can this guy sleep at night knowing that he is a laughing stock?

[ClaireSolt]

I have run into some revolutionary types on the internet that make me very glad to know that peace activists are watched. I assumed as much, though.

[johnqueuepublic]

Its always the samee with these lefty writers.

If it's a conservative then that is played up, but if its a friggin commie professor, he becomes a devoted to humanity type.

This never fails to astound me.

Pssst, Mikey, no one's listening to you anymore

The last time lil' mikey was even half way balanced was before Drudge scooped him on his own bj story, about 8 years ago. Since then, the curly, messed hair boi, has gone straight{?} left. He loves to get on chrissy girl's "smushball" and and give and get verbal lewinskis.

[johnqueuepublic]

And those that are listening ain't very happy.
