Get the Hell over it. A bunch of leftists started a site bashing my county and some of my friends. So what. Life sucks, get a helmet.

Having gone to Berkeley, I wouldn't exactly call Snehal a "scholar."
More like a "campus disrupting criminal."
Like all good America-haters, he's also the campus head of the International Socialist Organization.

You know, this whole "McCarthy" thing, I don't get it. I should do some research on the topic, and I will, I will... eventually... but the thing is this: Once McCarthy accused someone of being a Communist, and got them to come testify that they were or were not a Communist... then what?
Did they go to jail for being Communists?
This "blacklist", what was it? Was it just a list of Communists?
I ask because this is always framed, by Hollywood, as "Washington DC against Hollywood!!" But the thing is, if being identified as a Communist simply meant that other Hollywood types knew you were a Communist and didn't want to work with you, that's not DC vs Hollywood... that's Hollywood vs. Communists!
I feel like I must.... MUST.... be missing something.

Once McCarthy accused someone of being a Communist, and got them to come testify that they were or were not a Communist... then what?You should do some research. You will be pleasantly suprised. The Senator was not the nicest person in the world, but he DID find out that a lot of the top of the state department (including Alger Hiss) was/were in the pocket of the Soviets. It was phoo-pahhed until after the fall of the soviets. Then, evidence proved that most of McCarthy's allegations were true. The leftists shat themselves on NPR and pretended it didn't happen.

"What they're trying to do is exclude from public debate opinions that go against the neo-conservative consensus that dominates discussion of policy on Iraq or policy on the Israeli conflict by smearing us and calling us aliens," Funny Rashid, I never heard of you until I read this. Sounds like what they are trying to do is get you and your putrid views out in the sunlight, not stifle them. You want to keep your opinions hidden for some reason. You yourself are the one that wants to "stifle" your own bizarre thoughts. You expect to keep your silly thoughts hidden from the rest of us, save for some impressionable young minds that haven't developed the skills to dicern truth from fiction yet.

Well, GEE WHIZ, don't they want us to read their propaganda?
I don't think that is fair.

This is how political correctness gets started. These ADL types will be complaining about how history is taught. If a professor mentions the fact that Begin and Shamir were terrorists and murdered Arabs and British civilians, then they will be lambasted. Even though it is an absolute fact that Irgun and the Stern gang, headed up by the aforementioned men (who later went on to become high level Israeli officials) were terrorist organizations.
The goal is to re-write history. Anything that shows Israeli actions to be less than exemplary will be called "biased."

a "Keep Us Informed" page on the site that opponents say is an attempt to get students to turn in their professors.
sounds like a good idea to me...
To: Demidog
depends on whether you listen to Pat Buchanan or to Neocons. I'm with the latter, personally.
The ISO, however, aren't "socialist" like Sweden or Israel socialist. They're a Leninist revolutionary vanguard. Do some reading at
their website and I think you'll agree with me.
To: Dan from Michigan
Simply outstanding idea Mr. Pipes. Bravo!
To: JRandomFreeper
evidence proved that most of McCarthy's allegations were true.
The "McCarth" slur, is really a back-handed compliment.
To: JRandomFreeper
Yes, I had heard a little about the outcome, but what I'm wondering is what happened to actors, directors, writers, producers, etc... once they'd been "named". What happened after they testified? Were they arrested? Imprisoned? What?
To: TheAngryClam
Pat Buchanan is just as warmongering as the neocons. Pat was never a Paleocon. He was always an opportunist.
That said...a person's socialist tendencies is not what makes him an "America hater" (a term thrown about so much that it is virtually meaningless).
One can hate the foreign policy decisions of the President and the Congress and still love America. Socialism doesn't enter into it.
America is a Socialist country too. The fact that alot of people still pretend it's a republic hardly means anything when you stack that mis-informed belief against the overwhelming body of government programs and government control over the means of production.
