Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia. The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us, Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.

They have the ACLU protecting their troops....see my post above about the Unholy Alliance book.
Your tagline and your statement don't seem to be related!!!!
Could you explain!
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to as in "related"?
I wasn't referring to our troops, I was referring to getting the MSM out so our troops can do their jobs. This thread was about the AP.
My bad, I understand what you were asking now and I was talking about getting the MSM out of Iraq, not our troops.
The print media are suffering financially and are reacting, not by being better journalists, but by cutting their newsroom staffs. Notice nearly any newspaper and most national and international news are reprints of articles from AP, Reuters, and to a lessor extent UPI.
That means the left need only control three sources, not hundreds, in order to keep their biased propaganda reported as news.
We already know about CNN and other leftist TV journalism paying off the enemy with favorable reporting just to have "access."
Check also the excellent summaries this evening on the Belmont Club. Wretchard has a great summary and the comments are really great. The comment signed the "Captain and Jamil" made me laugh out loud.

Centcom: Iraqis will announce tomorrow that AP source is fake

Note to Sam Hill from the hot air link:
"Its true that the five other victims werent named, but the witness did say they all belonged to the al-Mashadani tribe"
Interesting, isn't it Sam, that al-Mashadani name involved in yet another fake news story - same name from the Haditha story. ;-)
........whole discussions emerge with nary a thought as regards the veracity of a given article...all the while whining about the msm. Thanks for the ping, Red.
BTTT!
Judging by the ungracious response from the AP, I'd say that the collusion was knowing and willing.
The doom and gloomers were in fine form. BTW did you know that we are doomed? Oh yes doomed, and all because everything is not working out exactly like I want it to, and the war is not over in 2 1/2 hours like a movie. What we need to do now is listen to what (incert your favorite talking head here) say and do exactly what they say.
Begs the question, Why doesn't AP produce Capt. Jamil Hussein? If he's a regular source of theirs it shouldn't really be a problem to produce him
