WHEN IT WAS REVEALED that Lionel Cryer, the male juror who flashed O. J. Simpson a black-power salute right after the verdict in the criminal trial, was once a member of the Black Panther Party, the Simpson case finally found its context. That black fist called up a host of Sixties memories, among them the ghostly voice of criminal-hero Eldridge Cleaver, who taunted the white world in his autobiography, Soul on Ice: "I'm perfectly aware that I'm in prison, that I'm a Negro, that I've been a rapist. . . . My answer to all such things lurking in their...

Posted at 10:49 PM on 9/26/2008 by David Horowitz The Debate's Crucial Subtext: Reaction Shots Call me strange but I think undecided and swing voters are more swayed by character than by issues. The issues voters are already committed. Watching the debat this evening I was struck by the inability of Obama to keep his cool when his positions were challenged by his opponent. During the second half of the debate he was rattled and lost his composure almost every time John McCain contested or contradicted what he said. Scowls, inappropriate smiles, shaking of the head, rude interruptions betrayed the...

Islamo-Fascism Week III: "Stop the Jihad on Campus" August 15, 2008 By David Horowitz and Reut Cohen FrontPageMagazine.com While America is finally winning the war in Iraq, the global effort against the Islamic jihad goes on. In Afghanistan, the war with al-Qaeda is still raging. In Gaza, Hamas continues to launch genocidal attacks against Israeli towns. Meanwhile, on American college campuses a coalition of organizations connected to the jihad network demonizes America and Israel. This coalition carries on its agendas of hate with the unwitting collaboration of student governments and university administrations. In October 2007, more than one hundred campuses...

Alan Keyes' Wrecking CrewBy FrontPage MagazineFrontPageMagazine.com | 7/21/2008 SINCE BEING REJECTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN AND CONSTITUTION PARTY PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS, perennial candidate Alan Keyes is now attempting to inflict himself upon the American Independent Party. A high-decibel Harold Stassen, the Energizer Loser keeps running, and running, and running… Predictably, he failed in the democratic contest for this one-state party’s byline, but his supporters are attempting to force him onto the ballot, anyway.    For those who hadn’t noticed Keyes’ latest presidential campaigns (or perhaps his perpetual campaign, spilling over leap-years), Keyes ran unsuccessfully for Senate in Maryland twice (1988 and 1992),...

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995.

A Careful, Exacting Indictment   By Jon Kyl NationalLedger.com | Tuesday, June 17, 2008 The following is one of the first reviews of the new book Party of Defeat, a meticulously footnoted tour de force examining how "Radicals Undermined America's War on Terror Before and After 9/11." Its author could hardly be more qualified. Sen. Jon Kyl, the junior senator from Arizona, serves as Senate Minority Whip, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate. Among his many assignments, Sen. Kyl sits on the subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology, and Homeland Security; and the subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law....

Party of Defeat: How Democrats and Radicals Undermined America's War on Terror Before and After 9-11 By David Horowitz and Ben Johnson FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, April 11, 2008 The following [link] is the introduction from the new book Party of Defeat by David Horowitz and Ben Johnson. The introduction lays out the book's thesis: that the opposition to the war in Iraq has crossed a troubling boundary. For the first time, a large number of national leaders have not merely opposed a war; that would be their inalienable right under the U.S. Constitution. Instead, they have actively sabotaged an ongoing...

On Monday night David Horowitz spoke to a packed house at Embarcadero Hall. It would be a bit of an understatement to say the event got fiery. No doubt, many people came out of the event feeling offended and angry. As the president of the club that hosted the event, there are a few points that I would like to make.

Violent chickens roost on candidates' shoulders: exploring the liberal/Marxist nexus Wes Vernon April 21, 2008 Last week's Clinton/Obama debate opened a new door on an old coalition: What is it about Marxists (violent or otherwise) that attracts liberals (well-meaning or otherwise) to their defense? What is their common goal (to the extent that they have one)? The counterculture sixties Here is the mantra of the Weather Underground, as enunciated by one of its leading disciples: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents. That's where it's really at." Who said...

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week II By FrontPage Magazine FrontPageMagazine.com | 4/8/2008 The Unholy Alliance’s worst nightmare is back. Patriotic students at more than 100 campuses will host Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week II this week, April 7-11, to educate the public about the threat of radical Islam. Around the country, nationally known speakers will address college students on the topic of political Islam. These include author and lifelong civil rights activist David Horowitz, scholar of Islam Robert Spencer, Middle East expert Daniel Pipes, former Muslim Nonie Darwish, and Congresswoman Sue Myrick. The centerpiece of this year’s campaign is the Declaration Against Genocide. The...

Obama Calls Black Community Racist (But the more likely racists are those who are defending him) 3/18/2008 by David Horowitz Frontpagemag.com In his speech this morning, Barack Obama said that he could not disown his white-hating, Jew-hating, America-hating Pastor Jeremiah Wright because that would be the same as disowning the black community. Imagine a white politician saying he couldn't disown David Duke because that would be disowning the white community, and you will understand how utterly Obama has unmasked himself and why he now will never be a unifying candidate that all Americans can trust. This is the end of...

Preparing an appeal of a dismissed lawsuit against the Council of American-Islamic Relations, talk radio host Michael Savage and his legal team have taken a new tack, investigating CAIR's foreign financial backers, WND has learned. CAIR is registered as a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under IRS code section 501(c)(3), which restricts "lobbying on behalf of a foreign government." CAIR's website claims that it receives no foreign government support. However, CAIR's headquarters near the U.S. Capitol until recently was owned by the ruler of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the ruler's foundation has pledged $50 million to capitalize a long-term...

"I don’t regret setting bombs," Ayers was quoted in the opening line of the Times profile; "I feel we didn’t do enough." In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it. Taking charge of the podium, dressed in high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."

McCain-Soros: A false trail The Internet and cable TV have been rife with allegations that George Soros funds John McCain. One of the sources for this claim is a book I co-authored last year called The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party. What we reported was that Soros made a contribution to McCain's political organization when McCain was devising the McCain-Feingold bill. If you oppose that bill as I did and do, that's the end of the story. Soros is an anti-American radical, who thinks George Bush is responsible for...

An offshoot of the Center for American Progress -- a leftwing think tank created by George Soros and Hillary Clinton, Campus Progress describes its mission as working to "empower new progressive leaders nationwide." In a wide-ranging exchange, Horowitz discusses Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, the war in Iraq, the nature of the left and whether a dialogue over these issues is possible. Frontpage...

I guess it’s noteworthy when George Soros singles you out for attack.[1] On the other hand, when you have been targeted by as many leftists as I have, one more billionaire doesn’t make much difference. These assaults have been inspired by my efforts to organize an “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week,” whose goal was to identify America’s enemies as more than just “terrorists,” and specifically to link them to a radical movement within Islam, which has declared war on the West. One salutary aspect of the Week is to have exposed the breadth of the coalition that now functions as a frontier...

I was surrounded by sartorial splendor at the magnificent Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach last weekend as world-class experts expounded on some truly frightening topics – our government's handling of the war on terror, the pitiable state of Muslim women unfortunate enough to be born under Sharia law, and the consequences of a Hillary Clinton victory in 2008. The Restoration Weekend, hosted last week by David Horowitz's Freedom Center, is my all-time favorite conservative gathering. Unlike CPAC or other well-known conservative conferences, attendees have three days to hobnob with true conservative luminaries. To hold actual conversations with the likes of...

Islamo-Fascism Memory Hole by: Malcolm A. Kline, November 02, 2007 Critics of the Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (IFAW) events that author and activist David Horowitz presented last month should have actually attended some of the IFAW lectures. They might have learned something, particularly from Nonie Darwish, a brave Muslim woman whose criticisms of Islamo-Fascism have put her life at risk. Instead, they sought to discredit the event. The most egregious act was probably the fake flyer proclaiming anti-Muslim bigotry on the part of the Young America’s Foundation (YAF) chapter at George Washington University (GWU) that sponsored the IFAW on campus. Stories...

The week of October 22-26 witnessed the largest, most successful campus demonstrations by students not associated with the anti-American left in the history of campus protests. 114 college and university campuses participated in “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which highlighted the threat from the Islamic jihad, and the oppression of Muslim women. It featured speakers such as former Senator Rick Santorum, Ann Coulter, Robert Spencer, Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager and Daniel Pipes, and was organized by the David Horowitz Freedom Center with the help of Young America’s Foundation and the Leadership Institute. At the beginning of the...

Conservative author David Horowitz spoke at Columbia University amid tightened security Friday - the latest in a string of political lightning rods to appear at the Ivy League school. Horowitz's appearance was part of the so-called Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on college campuses, intended to foster awareness of terrorism. But some Muslims say the week's activities are fostering racism instead. Horowitz, a self-described former Marxist, said the week was an effort to distinguish ``moderate Muslims'' from ``Islamo-Fascists.'' ``This is nothing that could remotely be interpreted as an attack on Muslims. It's a defense of moderate Muslims,'' he told a peaceful lecture-hall...

As One Who Stood Against Horowitz As a current Emory student who stood with my back turned during Horowitz's speech, I would like to respond to those who have called my actions 'disgraceful.' I made the choice to stand silently while he spoke; however, I do not condemn those who yelled out. While Horowitz claims he is willing to engage in free and open debate with those who disagree with his views, we arrived to the event Wednesday night to a few stacks of index cards with instructions to write our questions down. I believe that it was this...

Leftist Brown Shirts Shut Down Horowitz Speech at Emory   By Ruth Malhotra and Orit SklarFrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, October 26, 2007 On Wednesday evening, the Emory University Chapter of the College Republicans hosted acclaimed author and activist David Horowitz for a lecture on radical Islam as part of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. From the beginning of Horowitz’s speech, rowdy protesters continually interrupted him and less than half an hour into the event, the crowd became so disruptive that police were called in and Horowitz had to be escorted off stage.  The event was part of the Terrorism Awareness Project, a...

MSA = HATRED I was first introduced to MSA ‘Muslim Student Association’ by an Arab poster (posing as “Italian�) on AOL that posted again & again a video propaganda “little ones�, on Arab “Palestinians� killed (mostly) due to Arab Muslim terrorists using them as shields, but of course the blame was entirely on “The Zionists�, a typical smear campaign tool using most graphic bloody photos of the dead or wounded, “accompanied� by blatant lies such as calling tear gas (used by the careful & moral driven IDF to disperse protesters and minimize loss of lives) as “chemical weapons�, imagine that!...

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week kicks off By Michelle Malkin  •  October 22, 2007 10:46 AM   The irrepressible David Horowitz is the man behind Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which kicks off today. The Left and the jihadi apologists are in a snit, of course, and you already know what the grievance hoaxers at GWU attempted to do in their effort to deflect attention away from our true enemies and smear the organizers and supporters of IFAW. The moonbats at Indymedia are calling on their minions to attack David’s campaign: Horowitz means what he says, and it’s not at all an idle threat. What’s...

Horowitz plans week-long war against rise of radical Islam By David M. Brown TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, October 21, 2007 David Horowitz minces no words to evoke a stark image.

Jewish pundit defends Ann Coulter David Horowitz: 'What else would a Christian hope for?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: October 12, 2007 3:30 p.m. Eastern © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com Ann Coulter on CNBC's "The Big Idea" with host Donny Deutsch While Ann Coulter faces charges of anti-Semitism for stating in an interview Christians are "perfected Jews" and wishing everyone would convert to her faith, at least one well-known Jewish political pundit wonders what the fuss is over traditional doctrine. David Horowitz, editor of Front Page Magazine, says in his blog today he's received "a surprising number of e-mails from friends basically asking 'What are...

According to Alan Colmes, since evil dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not a liberal, but instead a "conservative," then conservatives in America should not be offended because the Iranian leader received better treatment on a college campus than some of America's conservative political figures, some of whom have been met with attacks with pies or other violence. Such was the absurd argument suggested by the liberal FNC host during a discussion on Monday's "Hannity and Colmes." Colmes commented to conservative guest/author David Horowitz: "Ahmadinejad's not a liberal. He's a conservative. He's very right wing. He was welcome at Columbia University. You...

COLUMBIA FIASCO David Horowitz www.frontpagemag.com/9/24/2007 Lee Bollinger has demonstrated why we can't trust liberals to defend the West. Bollinger gave a half way decent speech attacking Ahmadinejad in a reasonably polite way, but having invited the dictator in the first place managed to set himself up as the ungracious host. This paved the way for a speech which didn't answer any of the questions Bollinger had put to him, began with a sermon against hate (this by a preacher of Hitlerian hate), and then a lecture in behalf of free speech, tolerance and scientific knowledge, and then in reference to...

David Horowitz can think of a lot of reasons why Columbia University shouldn't invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak there Monday: "Not to mention he's a Nazi. Not to mention he wants to kill all the Jews -- I take that personally." The Ahmadinejad speech -- which roiled the blogosphere this week -- is also personal for Horowitz because he's an alumnus of Columbia. The university's Web site listing of "notable alumni" describes him as a "neo-conservative movement founder." It would be more accurate to describe Horowitz as a "red diaper baby" (his parents were Communist Party members) who...

Horowitz: Leftists dominate universities By Josh Moser and Kelly Madden For The Collegian A self-proclaimed "scary guy," leading conservative David Horowitz criticized Penn State and universities nationwide last night for what he considers left-wing domination. In his presentation, "The Hate-America Left on College Campuses," given at the Kern Building, Horowitz, president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, expressed his concerns over what he sees as liberal control of America's universities. "What has happened to our universities is a tragedy," Horowitz said. "I think what has happened is that you're all getting a liberal education." Horowitz is best ...

Behind the Headlines by Justin Raimondo Antiwar.com December 5, 2001 HOROWITZ GOES HAYWIRE Pro-war 'Think Twice' speaking tour starts on a weird note David Horowitz, the ex-Communist and former Black Panther groupie turned stereotypical right-winger, has kicked off his pro-war "Think Twice" speaking tour of college campuses on a rather bizarre note. The "red diaper baby" who morphed into a neoconservative went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and gave a strangely disjointed and vehement rant – directed not only at the antiwar movement but at the Chancellor of the University, James Moeser, and the school itself: ...

It’s apparently the season for revivals of the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion or variations thereof. This is the time worn paranoia that the Jews, while a miniscule fraction of the world’s population, nonetheless run it. The unspoken (and unexamined) implication is that the non-Jewish remainder of the human race is too stupid or too pathetic to thwart these designs. Obviously center stage in this conspiracy pageant for the moment is occupied by Walt and Mearsheimer’s new book The Israel Lobby, which is about the Hebrew puppeteers who pull the strings that make Bush and Cheney jump, and...

Radicalism is no longer taught only in college; many younger students are getting a head start. Schools traditionally emphasized the “three Rs” – reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. Recently a “fourth R” seems to have entered the American schoolhouse: radicalism. “When you go into a class where you’re supposed to learn about government or geography,” high-school junior Sean Allen says, “you expect to learn what the truth is.” He found out last year that some teachers don’t share his expectation. An Accelerated World Geography class at Overland High School in suburban Denver featured diatribes against the United States, capitalism and President...

Does anyone wonder where the Tom Hayden-Jane Fonda SDS radicals went? The ones who chanted “Hey, hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?” and cheered on the Communists in Vietnam, and went into the streets to demand America’s withdrawal from Vietnam and became suddenly silent when our troops were pulled and the Communists proceeded to slaughter two-and-a half million Cambodians and Vietnamese? Well today they are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party, calling for a capitulation in the war in Iraq and referring to George Bush as Hitler, or perhaps merely suggesting that his mentality is...

What was perceived as a peace movement was the Communist Party of America (CPA) set up and took over the antiwar movement, Horowitz states. Well, who is supporting the peace movement and anti war crowd today? And dare I call them a traitor? Horowitz is not afraid to call them a traitor in this video. Click...

The firing of Ward Churchill for academic incompetence and fraud is long overdue. The fact that the chairman of the Colorado University regents said it was "not an easy decision to make" reminds us how this scandal lifts the lid on the vast corruption of the academic process that tenured radicals have accomplished in the last several decades. Churchill had no academic credential to be hired in the first place. His degree was an MA in graphic arts -- he was a painter -- bestowed by a rinky dink experimental college which is now defunct. He got an affirmative action...
