Does anyone know: why did David Horowitz become such a dick?

It's amusing how his transformation mirrors the neo-cons, except he started from his parents Stalinism rather than Trotsky.

BTW, he only claims that the Black Panthers murdered a friend of his - the crime is actually unsolved and there's no hard evidence that she was whacked.

can someone deconstruct the logic used here???

This complaint applies to the discriminating nature of grading of my English teacher. She knows I'm an advancer of conservative ideas b/c I where a 'W' t-shirt to class on sometimes. Ever since the 1st day of class when I wore my 'W' shirt she has treated me cold and been discriminating in grading my essays. On the last one, I wrote about how family values in the books weve read aren't good. I know the paper was pretty much great because I spell checked it and proofred it twice. I got an D- just because the professor hates families and thinks its okay to be gay.

for even more fun bits, remember all the anti-university legislation he tried to get Republicans to push thru the Ohio state gov't? About how students didn't have to discuss "controversial" topics about their "indoctrinaire" professors? i think i posted a thread about it here...

xpost: exactly!

big thing he was behind

Dr. Colburn attacked my beliefs in Jesus for a third time, citing Karl Marx as the "one true truth-bearer." He disallowed me from praying before class and often ate cheese-puffs instead of lecturing us on Military Histories. He quoted many writings of the Chinese like Sun Tzu and Mao Zse Dung. I was graded unfairly for my beliefs when I wrote a paper on King David and his military prowess. Dr. Colburn attacked my sources, claiming the bible was "not an accurate historical document"

Oh come on, you have to spell check a paper at least three times before it's great.

Yeah, that's always been my feeling about him. Like, he was a left-wing asshole, and then he turned right-wing and said, "Hey, I was a real asshole when I was a left-winger," not realizing that his assholishness existed a priori, or at least was extraneous to, his ideology. Anyway, the man has some serious persecution complex going. His whole thing about how oppressed conservative students are by the acadmic politburo is just completely bizarre.

Of all the nerve!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

I was hoping someone would post this.

I don't think so, Spencer. :)

I think this is what changed him:

I just remember when "Fight Back" was just part of a segment of the local news, then it became this TV show, with this fully produced muzaky intro that I can't get out of my head. I can still hear the divas going "FIGHT... BACK!" in my head. Horowitz would run out onto the platform, and make his excitedly moribund delivery about his mission to NOT LET CONSUMERS BE RIPPED OFF BY BAD PRODUCTS! I loved this David Horowitz.

On the first day of class, Dr. Kulbicki informed us he would not be teaching Karl Marx because Marx is "becoming increasingly irrelevant." Dr. Kulbicki proceeded to teach Straussian interpretations of every philosopher, and exam questions were designed so as to make students argue these points. Additionally, Dr. Kulbicki has expressed on a repeated basis his disregard for international law (in a Political Theory class?) and has made such comments as "the UN is irrelevant."

Description of Complaint (please be as detailed as possible, including quotes from your professor where applicable):

Dr. Bullock was extremely vocal about his political views. He constantly ridiculed the President. He actually brought in a Congressman into our large class of approximately 300 students, and he allowed the Congressman to spend the ENTIRE class bashing the President and promoting his radical ideology. It was basically a chance for the Congressman to campaign, and Dr. Bullock never allowed someone from the opposing party to have the same platform. Did I mention that this happened in 1996? The President was Bill Clinton, and the Congressman was Representative Norwood from Georgia, a Republican?

Action Taken:

None. Unlike most of the whiney halfwits who piss and moan on this site, I actually respected this professor's right to express his political views. Sure, I found his views to be repugnant, but I recognized the fact that I was a student in a UNIVERSITY, where (gasp!) I might be exposed to points of view with which I disagreed. I doubt you'll post this on your little McCarthyist site, but hopefully I'm wrong.

well this bit certainly sounds familiar.

xpost: ok, so like the entire PNAC crew.
