Professor's Post: Horowitz and Me: Thank You, David!
I received a notice from Frank Annunziato congratulating me for making David Horowitz's latest book: "The Professors: the 101 Most Dangerous Academics." Here is the list of academics included in the book. Note that Frederic Jameson and Howard Zinn (two of my personal heroes...the former for film studies, the latter, one of my great former professors at BU), Noam Chomsky, Eric Foner, Bernadine Dohrn, Tom Hayden, Angela Davis, and bell hooks are among some of the more recognizable names....and among them as leftist, pro-gay activist is this obscure little man, michael vocino. People have been calling me for two days, congratulating me.... and for someone like me, to be included among the great names on the Left, well, to have one's academic record distorted and lied about by the omissions of truth by David Horowitz, it's like winning the Nobel. My department chair was among those offering congratulations and another of the many emails I've received from colleagues suggests that I include the book mention by Horowitz under "Awards and Honors" on the University's dossier forms. The infamous list:

the congratultions was a joke .....as if your friends clap when you walk into the room after you get chlamydia
dont mean to burst your bubble
i mean seriously
Hey, this guy called Horowitz seems to be a ridiculous eccentric from the old Cold War period, a remnant of the McCarthy fellows.
I guess he wants to be nominated for the Hitler Prize for Fascist Nonsense.
Stanley Aronowitz is only a danger to himself.
David horowitz is pushing fascist policies to destroy free speech. I hope every american can come to realize this and help to stop corrupt republicans from sreading lies so they can win this upcoming election. Check out Lyndon Larouche's expose on Horrorwhich and his buddies like Lynne Cheney. Go to www.larouchepac.com

Dear sports, yep, anyone who disagrees is a "Fascist!?" etc. Er, that's a load of hyperboles. Ya list just shows he's exactly right about how Left diseased and mediocre many academics are.
Really "Fascist!?" You mean Horowitz is a military man who is part of a police state that has nationalised all utilities and production?
Um, and he arrests millions of people at midnight blah, blah? This is the level of thinking? Fantastic. Great.
Logical fallacies, spite, hate, cant and mediocrity. Well, keep sucking on the public teat.
Oh yes, what points is Horowitz wrong about again?Oh that's right, he's a "Fascist!" Excellent academic standards, no really, you've set them.

Actually, as a student of one of the aforementioned professors, Horowitz happens to be wrong about his entire premise - which includes condemnation of ideas he disagrees with using rhetoric, while attempting to pass that rhetoric off as some kind of "research". Horowitz is attacking these professors for lecturing based on research, while he is unable to counter the research with anything but low level name calling and ad hominem attacks.
Horowitz, and his fans, would do well to learn from some of the academics listed here, instead of ignorantly writing their material off as nonsense, you should listen to a lecture or two and listen to reason and research, not half assed rhetoric from a hack like Horowitz.
Dear anonymous, er, baloney. Ya still haven't listed one debate point or error, merely ad hominems! Dave was a Left Radical Liberal maybe like you, until he matured. You know and I know, he has your number. Er, this is you to a T. Smile.
