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.

>>Rashid Khalidi, who is quoted on the Web site as sympathizing with the Palestinian cause, called the site "slimy

That's what we've been saying about you...Rashid, baby.

Last I heard, a web site was public access. I suggest they use their sat phones. (heh,heh,heh)

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.

"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."

[RnMomof7]

Well someone has to watch them..at least they can not complain of government profiling:>)

The new Book Invasion says it all...

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...

[VaBthang4]

Simply outstanding idea Mr. Pipes. Bravo!

Judith Butler, a gender theorist at Berkeley

"I have a PhD--I am a 'Gender Theorist.' You see, I have a theory about gender. There is no such thing as male and female--we are all transgendered. Traditional gender stereotypes are the result of breeder hetero patriarchal attitudes which foster hegemony among the psycho-sexual participants of enema theory and Queer Identity Studies!!"

Ever notice that all these leftists never have any academic discipline in hard science, engineering, math, or medicine? And for this they want $30,000 per kid to pay for the privilege of being "enlightened" by them.

[A pro-Israel organization has set up a Web site to monitor professors and universities for pro-Arab, anti-Israel bias -- a move some academics are decrying as campus McCarthyism and attempted intimidation.

The Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum said it organized the Campus Watch site to counter pervasive bias in universities' Middle Eastern studies.

The site names schools and specific professors. Forum director Daniel Pipes said the think tank hopes eventually to monitor 250 North American academic institutions.

"Our goal is to monitor, critique and improve Middle East studies," Pipes said. "We're not at universities because our views are not welcome. We're trying to create an alternative voice within the field."]

Smoke 'em out and get 'em runnin. Good work, Mr. Pipes!

And what's wrong with McCarthy? I think he's a national hero.=o)

Why do I get the feeling that these same "academics" nodded with approval when the two Israelis were fired from the British academic publication simply for being Israeli?

A "gender theorist"? I'm surprised anyone could adopt such a job description with a straight faace.
