Left's Love for Radical Islam Examined (BWAHAHAHAHA - they are desperate)
Left's Love for Radical Islam Examined
by Kim Trobee, correspondent

A new book targets the cooperation of the two extreme movements to undermine American institutions.

Is there a link between radical Islam and the American left? "Unholy Alliance," a new book by David Horowitz, says the two groups are working together to affect U.S. policy.

Horowitz contends that the left and radical Muslims are "working day and night to undermine the institutions of American society, sabotage our nation's war on terror and help our enemies prevail."

David Forte, a professor of law at Cleveland State University, also sees the agenda, but said it's an unconscious one, and we should be careful not to lump all liberals together as being pro-Islam.

Tim Graham of the Media Research Center said the agenda is obviously influencing liberal media.

Yeah, we are all in a conspiracy. The looney tunes will buy it too - which is real sad.

2. Riiight. Liberals support right wing extreme theocrats. Sure.
It boggles the imagination that a reichbot brain could be possessed of such idiocy without blood flowing out of their ears.

19. It Doesn't Boggle My Imagination At All!
The evidence of their idiocy is manifest. Nothing surprises me anymore.

4. McCarthy's ghost is laughing
Wow. Talk about Redux. Then it was the communists, now it's the terrorists?

Horowitz is a jackass and he's braying to the moon on this one. It's not the LEFT that's feeding the Islamic militants--it's the Right. WE'RE not sending people to hijack whole countries in the name of "freedom."

Someone needs to pull his head from his ass and bring him back from the methane breathers, at least long enough to slap him silly. Oh, that might be a bit pointless, since he's already silly, but at least it would be satisfying.

Democrats are traitors. Yell that enough times, and you start to lose track of who is really screwing up the country.

6. Horowtiz's vilification of human rights activists makes him look like a,..
,...a fascist. I thought Horowitz hated Nazis. Why is he leaning towards becoming just like one? The only difference between him and Hitler is that Horowitz is Anti-Arab/Islam whereas Hitler was Anti-Jew. Horowitz is as radically pro-Jew as Hitler was radically "Christian" white supremist.

Doesn't Horowitz see what he himself has become? No. Obviously not. Obviously, Horowitz is one of those who lies to himself about himself in order to rationalize his own evil works.

Horowitz is obviously whoring for PNAC now.

8. The irony is that it is the fundamentalists who hold close views...
The Americans whose political views are closest to bin Laden's are James Dobson, Gary Bauer, and other members of the radical right. Horowitz has completely missed the ball on this one.

10. Oh lord, here we go
This is the latest talking point on the right, another tool to beat anybody who isn't completely behind the war and Bush with. Give this a few weeks to echo around the RW echo chamber, and if we're not careful, the perception will become reality. Dems, a few of whom actually seem to be showing signs of spinal growth, will once again start advancing to the rear, and the rest of us will be screwed.

If this really blows out of proportion, it will be the perfect excuse to shut down the anti war movement, and to start rounding up liberals for an all expenses paid vacation to Gitmo.

18. While I hold out a modicum of hope about Dean
I'm nowhere near the point of hailing him as the great saviour of the left. He has shown all too many signs of corporate influence, and while he has been speaking out lately, if he goes too far afield, the Democratic leadership will yank him back into line. Sorry, but I've seen this happen far too many times to be anything but a pessimist on such matters.

11. Okay, it's me. I admit it
But I'll stop now so we should all be okay.

I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for that damn Horowitz and his dog!

12. So, who's handing out gov't secrets to a Mideast state w/WMDs?
Mr. Horowitz, a few questions:

Seems to me that the bulk of espionage in Washington in recent times has been conducted by a certain aggressive, Middle Eastern nuclear-armed state with a government dominated by religious fundamentalists and war criminals who took power after the assassination of the former Labour Party Prime Minister. What is this theocracy? Is it Iran, Syria, Iraq, or . . . I____?

That same state has a committed cadre of followers who, in addition to passing mountains of classified U.S. data and weapons technology, have literally taken over the policy apparatus of the U.S. Defense and State Departments. Furthermore, this foreign state's spies fed the U.S. false intelligence that led to tens of thousands of American casualties in the course of ibvading and occupying one of this state's neighbors, and has tried to draw the U.S. into attacking another neighboring country's nuclear plants. Which foreign political party do these these traitors serve? Are they communists, Baathists, Jihadists, or . . .L_____ites?

What militant ideology best describes that held by these spies? Are they liberals, leftists, or . . . F___ists?

You have ten seconds to consider your answers, sir. (theme music) :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :popcorn:

14. I haven't read the book and I don't flagellate myself, so I probably
won't read this, but to say that the two groups are working together implies that someone had a meeting. He should be called on to prove 'working together'. He is absurd.

Hey David...there are sucker patriots and there are realist patriots. A realist patriot doesn't buy into the destruction of the U.S. A realist patriot doesn't swallow dis-reality.

17. He should never have raised the issue
Most of the left he is concerned about was the old anti-Israeli, pro Palestinian side-taking from the social justice issue and the marriage of US and Israeli foreign policy in extremely bad ways.

In fact, the wider "left" or for that matter most of mainstream America is rapidly identifying religious extremists as detestable vultures of a feather. A natural abhorrence of fanatical conservatives is more widespread than picking out championing Islamic people issues over against a malicious foreign policy machine.

Stupid and confused but the idea is to fix the debate into an attack on democracy here and abroad for the benefit of a few, to get all people fighting each other over issues they really share in common.

Horowitz is a warmongering creature of hate in this instance, spreading tar with prejudicial absurdity. Pretty much the same as those Islamic extremists in fact as well as rhetoric. If we could sign up to fight an army made up of the Horowitz's and Bushes and Falwell's and Bin Ladens we might all just sign up. But no, we are supposed to take sides, we the people, against each other and fight as their proxies while they cheer on with rants like this nonsense.

Get stuffed, Horowitz.

21. How does the right wing know David Horowitz is not a Trotskyite mole
seeking to undermine the right-wing by making it look hysterical?
