In a Time of War, the Left Is on Trial: 'This is no longer a loyal opposition.'

LOS ANGELES TIMES.COM ^ | JANUARY 10, 2005 | DAVID HOROWITZ

[CHARLITE]

Attorney Lynne F. Stewart is a progressive icon. A protege of Ramsey Clark and the late William Kunstler and a member of the National Lawyers Guild and the Center for Constitutional Rights, Stewart embodies the committed professionalism of the radical "legal left." Under this code, attorneys select clients whom they regard as the put-upon victims of an oppressive system or the persecuted champions of a just cause. Stewart represented Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind cleric convicted in 1995 of masterminding the first World Trade Center bombing.

She is now on trial as a terrorist herself for aiding and abetting the sheik, when he was her client, in carrying out his terrorist agendas.

bump for later read

The LATimes would print and editorial from David Horowitz?

[Conservative Canuck]

Ping.

[Rummyfan]

My God, this appeared in the LA Times? I'm shocked, SHOCKED! What next, Dan Rather stepping down?

[vpintheak]

Evolutionary marxists, one and all.

She quoted Che: "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love."

Yes, the same brotherly love that has killed millions around the globe.

[My2Cents]

I had the same reaction. Print something by David Horowitz?!

[My2Cents]

Evolutionary marxists

I also like the term "political nihilists."

[SmithL]

How close did we come to electing a President that actively gave aid and comfort to America's enemies?

[MisterRepublican]

I was shocked too. Maybe they are trying to increase their sales.

This began when we tolerated the treason of Jane Fonda. Had some non famous bimbo gone to Hanoi and spoke on the radio as Tokyo Rose before her, we'd have tried her for treason. But now, treason itself is non-PC, and these clowns are on the streets. They should be in jail.

Dissent is wonderful, until the balloon goes up. Then, good citizens should support their government in the war effort, 100%. Anything else is supporting the enemey.

[My2Cents]

Maybe they are trying to increase their sales.

Maybe it was a slow news day at the LA Times.

Maybe they are trying to increase their sales. -MisterRepublican

Maybe it was a slow news day at the LA Times.

Maybe it is a natural progression: so many more conservatives actually have something to say these days that editors can't ignore them.

The New York Times book review section this past Sunday included a review by Rick Brookhiser who writes for [i]National Review[/i].

"And so as Martina Navratilova recently pointed out, 'In Czechoslovakia there is no such thing as freedom of the press. In the United States there is no such thing as freedom from the press.' She opened the door for this prelude to Part II..."

How true. Excellent piece. BUMP

"At the National Lawyers Guild annual convention in 2003, she attacked her own country as having "a poisonous government that spreads its venom to the body politic in all corners of the globe," and she raised a glass to her heroes: "Ho and Mao and Lenin, Fidel … and Che Guevara."

[Happy2BMe]

What did she do that caused her to be brought up on charges for aiding terrorism?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

She is now on trial as a terrorist herself for aiding and abetting the sheik, when he was her client, in carrying out his terrorist agendas.

Not sure of everything, but I think she acted as a courier for messages at least..

Article also has this:

Stewart is on record as approving of "directed violence," which — as she explained to the New York Times — "would be violence directed at the institutions which perpetuate capitalism, racism and sexism." The World Trade Center, for instance. Stewart also has endorsed Muslim jihadists in particular: "They are basically forces of national liberation," she told the Marxist magazine Monthly Review.
