Would someone please start a Christofascism Awareness Week?
This coming week, at over 100 campuses, Islamofascism Awareness week, dreamed up by the repellant David Horwitz, will be sponsoring "events" to:

"confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat,"

In reality, this is nothing but an ugly exercise in bigotry. I really wish some enterprising students would counter with a Christofascism week exposing the religious wingnuts.

3. You can't use irony against the ironicly deficient
They won't stop thier 'islamo" bigoted BS but will accuse the left of being "anti-christian" bigots. Becuase they suppress or just outright lack the little voice inside our heads that warns us when we are being assholes and to stop doing whatever it is we are doing. To them, they are 'victims" even as they victimize others.

They are like an abusive spouse who blames his wife for making him hit her.

5. Here's My Wish
Here is my wish:

That some enterprising students would shut the entire "Islamofacism Awareness Week" nonsense down.

This is surely nothing more that bigoted hate speech. It should not be allowed on any institution that calls itself a place of learning.

10. Sad. Sad. Sad.
It's sad that such once proud insitutions have fallen so low as to allow this bigoted hat speech any where near their ivy-covered campuses.

So much for the "value" of an "Ivy League" education.

6. I think there should be a unified 'Religious Extremism Awareness Week"
Edited on Sat Oct-20-07 03:55 PM by LeftishBrit
emphasizing how dangerous - and how frighteningly similar - all religions can become when they are placed ahead of decent treatment of humanity.

11. A good, useful idea..
but the Horowitz crowd wouldn't go for it because their true agenda is to trash "the Left" and global warming as much as "Islamofascism", whatever the fuck that is.
