"Why Liberalism Has A Bad Name" GOPUSA article Puke alert

[TexasLawyer]

From GOPUSA-- lately of Guckert/Gannon fame. An article on liberalism by hate-spouting campus crusader, David Horowitz.

The article is, unintentionally, a nice ad for "the Nation" magazine. Subscribe, if you don't do so already. The Nation's a superb magazine, but that is just the opinion of a Communist, fellow-traveler, pro-terrorist, terrorist sympathizer who hates America, or whatever Horowitz would call liberals like me.



Why Liberalism Has A Bad Name
By David Horowitz
March 8, 2005

On Sunday, March 6, 2005, the NY Times Book Review ran a feature interviewing three leftists about the state of the Democratic Party. Of course that's not the way the Times described them: "Peter Beinart, the editor of The New Republic, Michael Tomasky, the executive editor of The American Prospect; and Katrina vanden Heuvel, the editor of The Nation are three leading voices for liberalism today." And I'm the Wizard of Oz. Katrina vanden Heuvel as users of DiscoverTheNetwork would know is an anti-American radical, editor of the flagship of the pro-Communist, "progressive" left who thinks that the main problem in the world today is U.S. hegemony or as she coyly puts it in the Times roundtable, U.S. "military dominance."

I would venture that every article the Nation has run since 9/11 about the war on terror, has been about the terrible things America has done -- e.g., destroyed the Constitution while pretending to look for terrorists, killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, traduced the laws of nations to get at Iraqi oil and so forth. Not one I am willing to bet -- and I have read an awful lot of them -- has been about how to win the war on terror, let alone one good deed in the war America has done.

Unfortunately, Beinart was intimidated in the interview session by the two leftists present and I guess by the Times' own political sympathies which are also to his left. Under this pressure Beinart came up with this howler which he probably already regrets. "There is no question that this war is going very, very badly." Peter, a war is going very very badly when Katrina and her friends force the United States to throw in the towel and the other side enters the capital cities of the beleaguered country as conquerors, and proceeds to slaughter two and a half million innocents as the progressives in Cambodia and Vietnam did thirty years ago. In the present case, the Iraqis have won their freedom with (dominant) American military support and the terrorists are on the run. Moreover, the events in Iraq are inspiring a freedom movement throughout the Arab world. This happens when a war is going well.


Here's the reason liberal has become a dirty word. Because Communists, fellow-travelers, pro-terrorists, terrorist sympathizers have hijacked the word liberal and because organs like the New York Times have abetted them, using "liberal" to describe anti-American radicals and even totalitarian radicals like Noam Chomsky, Ward Churchill, Michael Moore, the organizers of the anti-Iraq and pro-Saddam "peace" movement, and Katrina vanden Heuvel and the Nation.

5. it's the why do you hate Amurrika argument - liberals are commies.....

and if you disagree with the bush gangsters you are automatically going to hell.

this is the same argument being used in anti-college professors movement that is now being orchestrated nation wide: liberal profs = commies and Amurrika haters.
