LOL!! David Horowitz thinks he "absolutely changed the paradigm of campus politics in America!"
The latest missive from the Pie-Man:



The wolves of the left, sensing a new opening with a new administration, are circling. Dangerous organizations like ACORN and MoveOn.org feel that Obama's victory is theirs as well. Poisonous figures like George Soros, Louis Farrakhan, and Bill Ayers who have spent their lives trying to tear America down feel newly empowered by the election results. Israel haters are licking their chops. Like their bloodthirsty comrades abroad, Islamo-Fascists here at home are ready to step up the stealth jihad they are waging against our universities and other domestic institutions.
I have one thing to say to the leftists who would try to take advantage of America's present vulnerability: not on our watch!

The Freedom Center will not stand by and watch the left advance deeper into government, popular culture, and higher education. Nor will we allow it to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in Iraq or hamstring our military in Afghanistan. The Freedom Center is ready, as it always has been, to carry the fight to our country's enemies. No other organization engages in hand-to-hand combat with those on the left who would destroy our country from within. We will continue to play this role in the fight over the American future that lies ahead.

But we can't do it without your help. That is why I ask you now to make your tax-deductible contribution online.

When you support the Freedom Center, what does your money buy? A fair question, especially in a time of economic uncertainty, when every dollar counts. And I'll try to give an answer by telling you briefly about what we have accomplished this past year.

In addition to books and pamphlets and three major daily web sites daily fighting the left's advances in our culture, we staged two Islamo-Fascism Awareness Weeks on 250 college campuses across the country. Working with determined conservative students, we confronted the campus left's unholy alliance with radical Islamists. We challenged all students and faculty to repudiate the genocidal aims of groups such as Hamas and individuals such as Iran's Ahmadinejad.

I don't think I'm being immodest when I tell you that what we accomplished this past year absolutely changed the paradigm of campus politics in America! These Islamo-Fascism Awareness Weeks were the largest demonstrations ever by conservative college students.

So what does your contribution to the Freedom Center buy? It buys an aggressive campaign in our nation's universities to stop the apologists for Islamo-Fascism who try to undermine our democratic institutions. It also buys the daily work we do at the Freedom Center to fight the war at home and abroad on other fronts.

This coming year, as the left tries to use the recent election to insinuate itself and its policies into power, will be decisive. All crystal balls are cloudy when it comes to predicting exactly what problems this country will face and how it will handle them. But this much I can promise: The Freedom Center will be there, defending this country with all its resourcefulness and commitment, through its publications and web sites, through its confrontations with the left on our campuses and elsewhere in our society.

So, please make an online year-end contribution to the Freedom Center to help us complete the mission we have undertaken. Now more than ever, we need a vote of confidence from our supporters. America's future is in the balance.

Thank you.
Sincerely,

David Horowitz
President & Founder




In case you didn't know where donations to David go, they go to stir up trouble on university campuses. But, as far as changing the "paradigm of campus politics" ?

Yeah, right.

I'd like for professors from universities to comment if they've noticed a sea change.

1. This man is a legend in his own mind. To the rest of the universe, he is
a speck of meaningless dust.

4. I worry that he keeps trying on campuses, though.
Hopefully, the Obama victory will help.

2. Academia is aware of David Horowitz.
But we've always dealt with anti-intellectual nuts like him, Joe McCarthy, Father Coughlin (sp?), so he's a sea change.

3. Who?
:hippie::smoke::hippie:

Gimme Abbie Hoffman any day over the likes of Horowitz. And I didn't much like Abbie in HIS "day". Except for "Steal This Book"........... I did. But I was only 16 so I hope Agent Mike knows the statute of limitations on that one is long, long gone....

8. Contributions go toward Horowitz's elitist lifestyle. And that paradigm change?
Yeah, that paradigm change sure helped get McCain elected, and Senate and House majorities for the GOP.

Good goin' there, Sparky...

10. Yikes... Allow me to shriek...
This is rich...: The Freedom Center will not stand by and watch the left advance deeper into government, popular culture, and higher education.

-----------------------

As if the right was involved in popular culture and higher education. They've shown what they can do to a government and it isn't anything to brag about.

Horowitz is a tool of the lowest order. An educated neanderthal. Fuck him to hell --- and he can take Ben Stein with him.

11. What a scam.
You'd be better off investing in Tony Robbins DVDs or Scientology.

13. Anyone know the real story of why he went right wingo?
I am never sure about these transformation neocon stories.

He still sounds like a lefty, only he exchanges "left" for right and few minor adjustments.

Here's something I just read about him, just sharing:

14. "...tries to use the recent election to insinuate itself and its policies into power."???
:wtf: What does this fella smoke, anyway?

So, when voters elect people from the left, it's called "insinuation"??? Horowitz is batshit insane.

20. Don't look now
but lately that strange, strange man has taken it upon himself to defend Obama from the "frothing" left AND right:

http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2008124906/david-horowitz-obama-republican
http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2008125011/david-horowitz-obama-republican-2

Choice quote:
The fact that these efforts are being led by Alan Keyes, an unhinged demagogue on the political fringe who lost a senate election to the then unknown Obama by 42 points should be a warning in itself.
