Max Blumenthal: The Demons of David Horowitz

Filed under: Opinion — Volt @ 5:48 pm

Max Blumenthal, The Huffington Post, November 7, 2007

During the week of October 21, far-right wing operative and former communist agitator David Horowitz deployed his allies to college campuses America to spout crude anti-Muslim invective. He called this event “Islamofascism Awareness Week.” Among Horowitz’s stable of campus speakers were noted Islam experts Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.

“Islamofascism Awareness Week” was, from the beginning, little more than a marathon fashion show for the paranoid style. But it was not until Horowitz muscled his way onto the campus of his alma mater, Columbia University, on October 26 that his event attained the commanding heights of reactionary hysteria.

Pacing the stage like a drunken circus clown impersonating some bygone demagogue, and standing beneath a massive image of a woman being shot in the head, Horowitz launched into a long, frenetic rant about his own persecution at the hands of a shadowy liberal conspiracy.

Though Horowitz devoted portions of his tirade to attacks on the Muslim Students Association, which he sought to paint as a front for virtually every Islamist group that strikes fear in the heart of his culturally deprived conservative peanut gallery, he seemed more comfortable lashing out at his perceived oppressors — liberal professors, leftists, and the Democratic party — than he did at any so-called “Islamofascists.”

Kathleen Willey Wrote a Book

Filed under: Opinion — mac_guru @ 10:52 pm

So, just at a random time, Kathleen Willey has written a book. It doesn’t have anything to do with the upcoming election, even though she accuses the Clintons of murdering her husband (long before they really even had an idea who she was, or had a reason to hate her or her husband). Wow! It must be true! After all, remember who Kathleen Willey is! She accused Bill Clinton of groping her and became Ken Starr’s star witness! OK, she kept getting plastic surgery paid for by some anonymous person, and Starr kept having to give her new immunity because she kept lying under oath, but it seems that she’s as honest as, well, Rudy Giuliani.

Yahoo Helps Chinese Imprison Journalist, Boycott Yahoo Now!

Filed under: News,Opinion,Uncategorized — N @ 4:30 pm

Boycott anything Yahoo. Yahoo will sell you down the river. You cannot trust that you are protected using their products. The large internet company is complicit in the arrest of Chinese journalist Shi Tao, a freelance journalist for Internet publications and an editor for the Chinese business newspaper Dangdai Shang Bao and other Chinese democracy dissidents that had used the internet to spread the idea of democracy.

In hearings before the House Foreign Affairs committee, two top Yahoo executives, Michael Callahan and CEO Jerry Yang admitted that Yahoo turned over internet information to the Chinese Government. The Chinese then used that information to arrest and prosecute journalist Tao and other Chinese cyber dissidents. Tao was sentenced to ten years in prison for posting a Chinese government order forbidding media organizations from marking the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square uprising on the Internet. This was considered by the communist government to be the releasing of state secrets. The Chinese learned it was Tao’s posting because Yahoo turned over email and other computer files which connected the postings to Tao.

So in Yahoo’s world making money in China is more important than the life and liberty of internet users, more specifically Yahoo users. Not only did they directly help in sending Tao and others to prison, Yahoo did not notify the US Government of the requests made by the Chinese government in previous testimony before the Foreign Affairs committee. Yahoo’s Callahan blamed it on a bad translation. Funny that the translation came from the Yahoo office in China. If Yahoo is willing to give information to the Chinese imagine what they would be willing to give to the Bush administration’s efforts to watch everything we do. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos (D-Calif) said it best when addressing Callahan and Yang, “while technologically and financially you are giants, morally you are pygmies.”
