David Horowitz just sent me an email...
How the hell did I get this? He's hawking a new book. I dont even know what CSPC is.

An Urgent Message
From the Desk of David Horowitz


Dear CSPC Supporter,


We have been given an opportunity to expose the radical left in our universities right now like we've never been able to before.

Over the past 48 hours a consortium of radical professors, students and like-minded leftist organizations have launched an unprecedented attack aimed at discrediting my just-released book, The Professors, as well as our powerful National Campaign for Academic Freedom.

Over the years you and I have witnessed precisely this type of concerted effort used by America's left when it wants to silence anyone who threatens to expose its Hate America Agenda.

At the end of this email, a trusted supporter of CSPC, there is a link to my formal answer to the charges being made by a coalition of some of the left's most powerful groups including the ACLU, the teacher unions, George Soros's university recruitment program (Campus Progress) the rabidly pro-Castro United Students Association and, of course, People for the America Way.

But right now I'm asking you to immediately help me counter their malicious attempts to smear me, the book, our research and our powerful and growing National Campaign for Academic Freedom.

2. David Whore-owitz is an extremist nutjob...
I didn't put you on his email spam list---honest! Seriously, at least a "leftist" got it and is exposing the contents of the email to sane people. Sounds like he'd like colleges to only have the academic freedom HE thinks they should have.

5. It went to my spam folder, which is appropriate
I usually look through it once a week and clean it out. I think it needs an intense scrubbing now:(

4. "this type of concerted effort used by America's left"
I don't know that there is a "malicious attempt to smear" him. I bet he wishes there was. It would help sell books.


I mostly see the smears coming from him.

7. I sent an unsubscribe email saying
"Why do you hate America? Your disgust for this country is shown by spamming me. Please unsubscribe"

He wont see it, but it made me feel like I took a shower...
