Foaming campus cleanser sputters at Temple
David Horowitz's attacks on liberal academics includes the so-called Academic Bill of Rights and ridding college campuses of what he calls anti-war academics who 'hate America'

Stew Albert (1938-2006)
Coretta Scott King (1927-2006)

This column is dedicated to the memory of Stew Albert, the Brooklyn-born anti-Vietnam War activist and co-founder -- along with Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin -- of the irreverent Yippies (Youth International Party), who kept up the fight for social justice his entire life; and Coretta Scott King who, while at the side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a stalwart heroine of the civil rights movement, and who kept up the fight for the human rights and dignity of all people throughout her lifetime.

In early December, aiming to start out 2006 with a bang, David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture (CSPC) sent out a fundraising appeal asking for contributions to place full-page advertisements in campus newspapers across the country warning students that they are surrounded by anti-American leftist academics who hate America.

A month later, at a hearing on academic freedom at Temple University sponsored by a committee of the state legislature of Pennsylvania, Horowitz could find only one student to testify against "liberal" professors on campus; that testimony was purely anecdotal, as the student had not filed an official grievance with the university.

At a previous committee hearing, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, "Rep. Dan B. Frankel, a Democrat who is a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pittsburgh, that the issue of potential political discrimination at state universities had received a considerable amount of publicity since the committee's previous hearing three months ago... he might have expected students to come forward with complaints, but none have done so. 'It seems to me we may be overblowing this problem,' he said. 'I don't have streams of people coming to me.'"

Horowitz, the President and founder of the Los Angeles-based CSPC, is the former sixties radical who became a Reagan Republican during the 1980s and an influential conservative political strategist over the past decade.

Horowitz has perfected the permanent and multi-faceted campaign, a campaign that consists of pre-emptive strikes against opponents, branding those opponents anti-American, and the maintenance of a never-ending fundraising drive to fill his organization's coffers.
