Activist drops reward for info on 'radical' professors

[Sequoia]

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A conservative activist dropped his offer to pay students up to $100 per class for providing information on what he called "radical" professors at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The activist, Andrew Jones, said Monday he would continue his effort with unpaid volunteers.

Jones' Bruin Alumni Association had offered UCLA students up to $100 to supply tapes and notes from classes to expose professors he considered to be pushing liberal political views on their students.

After news reports about the plan, Jones was criticized by faculty members who complained of a "witch hunt." Several prominent members of his organization's advisory board, including a former congressman, resigned from the group after details of the payment plan became public.

2. Horowitz is a right wing crazy, but popular here among

a few who post in the Israel/Palestine forum. They quote from his publications like they are in any way reliable.

3. Another brownshirt caught spying on his fellow citizens

These rightwingers start early ~ this guy is a future Abramoff, Kidan, Ralph Reed, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist et al and definitely has a future in the Republican Party.

The Young Republicans seem to be riddled with corrupt, anti-American, ant-Constitution, disgruntled, unhappy, closed-minded, bullying little twerps.

Parents should warn their children to stay away from that organization when they go off to College. As if there isn't enough to worry about when kids go to school these days.
