8:00 a.m. C-Span: Horowitz against Chomsky and American liberties! makes

[LittleApple81]

me so sick... calling all liberals antiamerican! And C-Span is giving him 45 minutes to spew poison.

The Anti-Chomsky Reader
Horowitz, David, Editor in Chief,

Mr. Horowitz will talk about his book The Anti-Chomsky Reader, published by Encounter Books, and other topical issues. He will respond to telephone calls, faxes, and electronic mail from viewers.

[LittleApple81]

1. He is absolutely poisonous. He is repulsive to even to look at. But

every time he opens his mouth antiacademic, antieducational, antifreedom, and hateful person.

[checks-n-balances]

2. He hates the fact that he was once an extreme leftist, so now he projects

that anyone even slightly left of him must be a lying satanist.

Perhaps some of you who don't have to go to work until later and have the time would be able to call in and challenge the garbage within himself that he loves to project onto anyone who dares to be left of himself.

[Skidmore]

6. So did he protest against the war in Viet Nam?

If so, he's a hypocrite of the first order.

[0007]

9. How can one challenge him when the moderator lets him rant

on and on and on and on - my head is ready to explode, I just gotta rid of the the simple simon.

[Skidmore]

11. I'm with you...

I left for a while to go to the cafeteria in the next door building to buy the coffee that gives me heartburn. I wasn't gone long enough apparently.

[rman]

3. lemme guess: CSPAN would never have Chomsky on

-

[jpgray]

7. CSPAN has had Chomsky on, and on several occasions.

I believe they broadcasted his receiving of a UN award recently.

[rman]

36. ok... how about a Chomsky vs Horowitz debate?

-

[jpgray]

46. That would be hilarious, but it would never happen

One or both would refuse to participate, but if it existed and there were enough people who wanted it televised, CSPAN would run it.

[izzie]

4. Well he is Carson and people like him. When it paid to jump the Dem.

they cash in. Look at Morin? I think that is the spelling. The guy that helped Clinton in office and was so odd in his sex stuff and now loves the GOP. They go where the money is for them.

[Wind Dancer]

5. He is the kind that continue to polarize this

country. If we don't agree with *, the God Almighty, we are psychotic, unpatriotic, etc. Why is it that anyone who disagrees or challenges the government is a traitor, aka liberal?

I am so sick of this, I want my country back.

[vi5]

8. Do any more than maybe 20% of people even know Chomsky?

Honestly, is Chomsky getting that much play or press that Horowitz really needs to address this issue?

Horowitz is a mouth breather. Literally and figuratively. Just watching him pant and wheeze his way through interviews is frightening.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Michael Moore is a supporter of the terrorists????!!!!!!

That man should be SUED by Moore! What a hateful SOB!

[DemonFighterLives]

12. Kerry called antiamerican as well

Caller called him drunk on his own ideas. LoL.
What an as*!

[Connie_Corleone]

13. He throws Howard Dean into it.

He's saying Kerry and Dean helped the communists win in Vietnam. How did Dean's name get into it?

[Strelnikov_]

19. Is He Implying That Dean Was A Member Of The Well Known

. . Aspen based organization "Ski-Bums for a Communist Vietnam"?

on edit:

I generally try to avoid cable 'journalism', so I am completely shocked that C-Span would provide a forum for a hate-spewing paperhanger like this guy.

[0007]

20. Now Jimmy Carter is a terrible man and was a worse president.

[Connie_Corleone]

14. This idiot is a self-hater!

He's projecting his own hate and guilt on anyone who is liberal. Not all liberals were so-called "radical leftists" like him back in the 70's and they sure aren't like that now.

[checks-n-balances]

17. Exactamento!

Or "Exactilioso", to quote Barney Fife.

You nailed his psychotic delusion excacly.

[Cassandra]

32. He loves feeling self-righteous...

and if he finds some other ideology that makes him feel even more so than this one does, he will switch again.
Did he have a personal run-in with Chomsky that has him so bitter?

Caller right now is giving him what-for in detail, although he is thankfully gone.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Democrats are dreamers and Repubs are realists?

Hahahahahaha! (from a caller) What a damn, RW wacko job! Geezus! I cannot believe C-Span is letting this man spew his crap for 45 minutes going UNANSWERED by Chomsky.

[Paradise]

16. david horowitz = an obnoxious abomination n/t

[mandyky]

18. I think Horowitz is projecting his own pathological lies to Chomsky

He called Chomsky a serial liar, when I think it is actually it is Horowitz. This is really a sideways attack on Michael Moore.

[0007]

23. Chomsky could eat horowitz's lunch

What an inbred asshole.

[Connie_Corleone]

21. Horowitz just said Carter is disgusting.

Have you ever heard liberal guests on C-Span talking like this??

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Jimmy Carter is disgusting!!!!!!!!

I can't believe the words that are coming out of his mouth! Jimmy Carter is disgusting? OMG....I'm speechless. I wonder how many houses for the needy Horowitz has built in HIS lifetime?! :grr:

[checks-n-balances]

24. Horowitz: Jimmy Carter "disgusting" and the "worst ex-president"!

Just turn back around everything he says about others on him - it describes himSELF perfectly.

Psychologically within himself, he implements the same tactic that Rove & Co. do with propaganda - accuses the dems of all the things the RW is guilty of, preemptively.

[Wind Dancer]

26. Exactly,

unfortunately, it works with many people.

[LittleApple81]

25. The anchor did not allow the caller to continue speaking because he

was spewing name calling??????

[3trievers]

29. unbelievable

The host cut off the caller for name calling yet allowed horowitz to slander everyone in the democratic party.I don't mind solo guests but it is abominable when a person is allowed to level such vitriolic charges without rebuttal.Horowitz and Bush must have went to the same school for literacy and diction.

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. Apparently it's only OK when horowitz does it...

Like he did while trashing Chomsky, Moore, Carter, Kerry, and everyone to the left of Atilla the Hun. One big ad for his so-called book and website. So much for elevating the level of political discourse in this country. Actually, people like him (and Ann Coulter and The Savage Weiner) do a far better job of exposing the nutjobs of the far-right than we could ever hope to do.

Watching horowitz is better than a dose of Ipecac in the morning. :puke:

[Connie_Corleone]

27. I've never read or heard anything about Chomsky.

I first heard about him here, but I never had an interest in what he said or wrote. I became a liberal without his influence. But, somehow, all liberals are like Chomsky and vice versa.

I don't get it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. Horowitz was feeding the sheep.

Preaching to the choir and they ATE IT UP....as usual, they bought the anti-LIBERAL crap, hook, line and sinker. Like that one woman...who said she was "sick and tired of the Democrats and THEIR hatred. We are in a BIBLICAL war!!!!" THAT is what he feeds with his crap. Of course he agreed with her. :grr:

[rman]

34. You'd get if if you knew what Chomsky is about

www.chomsky.info
www.understandingpower.com

btw, 'moderate' liberals typically don't like Chomsky very much.

[Mel]

28. I won't be watching

Horowitz is vile but I did find a link if people want to find out more about him.
I figure most people here may know this already but the right is attacking our colleges (Horowitzs crusade) right along with trying to line the courts with federalist judges.

http://www.mediatransparency.org/people/david_horowitz.htm

David Horowitz represents one of the right's favorite kinds of people: lapsed leftists (See Marvin Olasky).

He is the president and founder of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture (CSPC), which is a well-funded ($350,000 + from the Bradley foundation alone in 1998) launching pad for his and others attacks against supposed liberals, the supposedly liberal media, and public television in particular.</snip>

[mandyky]

31. Should we write an anti-Horowitz reader?

Is there enough information out there for us to do one?

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. WooHoo!

This caller just called her on letting Horowitz sit there and say Michael Moore supports terrorists and she didn't call him on it!

Another caller calls her on the fact that she hung up on the caller who was calling Horowitz names, but she let Horowitz spew his name calling.

[VLC98]

35. What a vile man.

I felt physically ill listening to him. I just e-mailed the producers of Washington Journal and told them he was the most obnoxious guest I have ever seen and asked them not to have him on again.

[Connie_Corleone]

37. Now there's a caller calling liberals communists.

Reading off "how to spot a communist" from the 1950's.

[LittleApple81]

38. What was that woman with communist information from the fifties?

What the hell was that?

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. We're all "commies" and are probably

on the repuke's 2004 Blacklist. She was UNBELIEVABLE!

[Connie_Corleone]

41. Just letting people know that we're communists.

:eyes:

[Cassandra]

42. Probably a love note from the John Birchers

[90-percent]

43. jimmy carter the worst ex-president?

We all have to work to make George W. Bush the worst ex-president!

-85%

[desi]

44. This is just the beginning

..of the onslaught of radical right wing hatemongers to be hitting the airwaves. Tune in on Fridays with Brian Lamb and then go on to the Sunday morning propaganda mills to have your weekends ruined....I have tuned them both OFF but stayed tuned to Horowitz just to remind myself that the Reich Wing is alive and "well."

[GoldenOldie]

48. Something very wrong with Horowitz

As I sat their astonished that they let him go on and on with the pure and obvious vitriol for anything or anyone that did not fit into his maniacal thought process, I began to notice that he constantly rubbed his hands together, tugged at his nose, and his collar. He seemed a tad nervous that someone would suddenly call and be able to actually confront him for the fool or nut case that he is.

He is a joy for those cons that truly don't know what the hell he was saying but he voiced those words that call them to battle: Leftist, Liberal, Communist, haters of George W. Bush, traitors, etc.

He is one scary dude.

[dumpster_baby]

45. It's really OK. This will just make more people aware of Chomsky

This book of Horowitz'z will just make more people aware of chomsky and his ideas. It will springboard more grassroots interest in the Left.

[Q]

47. Whorowitz comes off like a Jew-hating Nazi....

- Liberal is the new 'codeword' for someone to blindly hate and blame for all the ills of the country. Horowitz would have fit in well with the brownshirts.
