Horowitz again spewing his poison
http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E193%257E1879003,00.html#

Attorney General John Ashcroft and right-wing gadfly David Horowitz no doubt share many views. They also have one dangerous common goal: They want to turn us into a nation of snitches. Just like the good old days of Joseph Stalin and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, they want Americans to spy on one another.

Horowitz, darling of the right-wing political establishment in Colorado, earned thousands of dollars on our college campuses bashing professors he deems are out of touch with his own radical philosophy. He earned all this money while claiming that people of his political persuasion were never allowed to speak on our so- called "leftist" college campuses.

In rapid response, Colorado Senate President John Andrews recently held "hearings" on what students thought about their professors' political views and tolerance of alternative opinions. Andrews has claimed he simply wants an opportunity for all views to be expressed freely on college campuses. At his "hearing," however, he invited only conservative students who agreed with his own philosophy. This kangaroo court used public resources to support one-sided diatribes against those who don't agree with Andrews.


What an ass...
