David Horowitz is the most disgusting, ractist, zionist individual in American academia.

Who cares what he thinks. :confused:

I just though the list was quite funny. Maybe I should of included more from the article...

Here's what Horrowtiz says about these acadmics


We all know that left-wing radicals from the 1960s have hung around academia and hired people like themselves. But if you thought they were all harmless, antiquated hippies, you’d be wrong. Today’s radical academics aren’t the exception—they’re legion. And far from being harmless, they spew violent anti-Americanism, preach anti-Semitism, and cheer on the killing of American soldiers and civilians—all the while collecting tax dollars and tuition fees to indoctrinate our children.

Norman Finklestein is coming to my University this month to give a speech on Gaza, I've read stuff by Grover Furr and Chomsky, and my professor told me that he's been told he should be on this list but the reason is that he doesn't have a website.

I count two on the list who are on the Engineering and Natural Sciences side of academia: the entomologist and the computer engineer. Even though a lot did not list the subject of expertise, that is disappointing.

Oh neat. Villanova has two dangerous academics on the list. I might just ignore its overwhelming whitebreadness and try to transfer there.

It must be neat to have someone classify you as "dangerous". "Subversive" would be an even better term...:cool:

My most (and actually only, pretty much) outspoken professor in college in regards to political issues was my English teacher, amusingly enough. She'd go off on these long, wild tangents about how much she hated George Bush and rednecks. It was irritating and funny at the same time.

Our campus's resident radical professor (and my foreign policy professor this semester) once commented on this list, or one like it. He was pissed off because he wasn't in it. :laugh:

Update: I just got back from Finkelstein's lecture on the Israeli war crimes committed in Gaza, which was awesome (and, of course, a combination of enraging and depressing) and I'd recommend any books by Finkelstein. Honest academic and brave man.

Is this ranked? Zinn and Chomsky are more "dangerous" than right-wing bogeyman Bill Ayers? Hilarious.

Todd Gitlin? WTF! Gitlin doesn't even deserve to be on a list that smell the farts of any list that Zinn and Chomsky are on.

No Mike Davis? You let a commie off your list, "D to the Hor" better sleep with one eye open now.

Who keeps these kinds of lists anyway? Crazy clocktower snipers... Richard Nixon... McCarthy... Hitler.

Looks like he left Harry Cleaver (University of Texas) off of the list, as well. (And he's an actual Marxist.)

Man, they're slipping up!

What about dangerous artists? He should make a list of them and have their art banned. Bah, degenerates! Everyone should be forced to watch "300" the glorious battle of the white sweat-glistening Spartans against that army of the ugly malformed Arabs, Persians, and Asians of the world! Seriously, I just saw that movie and it was like Glen Beck's wetdream.

What's meant by "Anti-Americanism?" "Anti-Americanism" is oftentimes related to backwards prejudice, not progressive criticisms of American culture.

Harry Cleaver got left off? That's bullshit. That man, or at least some of the stuff he says, is probably more dangerous to capitalist ideology than half these punks.

I was disapointed when I ctrl+f'd "English" and only came up with two academics. :( The first guy sounds pretty badass though.


Sweet list.

Not really, academia is chock full of bourgeois ideology. I mean I take Sociology and it's all quite biased towards the left but it's usually the bourgeois liberal left rather than the revolutionary socialist left.

Guys, Ehrlich is on there. Don't get too enthusiastic about people on the list.

It is interesting they have to make a list to keep track of all the people they hate. If they keep this up they are going to need a flow chart

"As you can see here... we began by hating the blacks and slowly moved over to the red-skins, as you can see by the time line in the left hand corner..."

Hehheh

Is there something wrong with working in fast food?

Obviously, it's shit because of the nature of the system behind the job. Also, you don't get to eat leftovers which is stupid, I wouldn't mind working in Burger King if I got to eat leftovers at the end of the day, although it'll still be shitty.

I've worked many of the fast food joints in my teen years. I especially remember working for McDonalds, and back then in the 80's we were allowed to bring home the leftovers. My little brothers would be at home just waiting for me to get off the evening shift with bags of goodies!!!!!

Thank god i have always been lucky and have never had to work at a fast food place.

Its a good experience. Then you can know what if feels like for some million of illegal immigrants that work there with fake SS cards.
