Didn’t Laura get her start as part of that Dartmouth Review crowd with Dinesh D’Souza? They leaned neocon even back then, and D’Souza made a name for himself by wrecking the career of the great Sam Francis. Francis dared speak of American ethnicity and culture and this outrages a Proposition Nation neocon like D’Souza.
Yes, she was, but I think a lot of us were neocons then. Sad to say.
One thing that has always bothered me about Laura. It was Nat Hentoff who brought her plight at Dartmouth to the attention of the country with many columns in the VV. But she never, ever has him on as a guest. That pisses me off bigtime.
