David Horowitz Has a New Friend

Posted on September 5, 2006 by Timothy Burke

Now guess who wants to get all those liberals with their political bias out of the universities?

The President of Iran.

You could change the names and this would sound like a press release from Horowitz or ACTA.

    Horowitz spams me. Being an innocent European type, I had to look up who he was when he started sending me begging letters with twelve links to his donation site. There is no unsubscribe option and the reply-to mailbox is full.

    I suppose everyone else here knew he was really unpleasant already but I had to find out for myself. I’m moderately right-of-centre by UK standards, but it’s like getting the educational supplement of Der Sturmer in my mailbox.

    As for Mr Ahmadinnerjacket, I presume that this is all a subtle play in his imminentization of the eschaton. The hidden Imam, presumably, won’t come out to play until the secularists are removed.

    Naw, it just shows that when extremists need a convenient target, professors always come to mind. Not the least because it gives extremist political causes a place to stash some of their hired intellectual guns. Patronage keeps a movement alive, at least for a while.

    I think that the extremists would be quite happy with most of our college professors. They seem to have much in common.

    I’ll admit I’ve been riffing on the Erin O’Connor entry. I am neither a joke writer nor a linguist, but I think I did a fairly decent job of parsing this tonight.
