Today on Book TV, Angela Davis and David Horowitz.
| 2:30 | Angela Davis, Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture |
| 4:05 | David Horowitz, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America |
Angela Davis, is, of course, one of the most dangerous academics.
If C-SPAN really wanted to do fair coverage, they would have followed it up with something with Robert Jensen (Dangerous" Academics: Right-wing Distortions About Leftist Professors)
or someone from Free Exchange on Campus, where you can fact check Horowitz at Facts Count: an analysis of David Horowitz's "The Professors."
Regnery Press, Horowitz's publisher, is the same publisher that brought us early works of conservatism like William Buckley's God and Man at Yale, and Phyllis Schlafly's The End of an Era.
Then they dove down into the pits of hell and brought us
The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS in 1990 by Michael Fumento &
Inventing the AIDS Virus in 1996 by Peter H. Duesberg
They publish pot-shot books about Democratic leaders,
"Swift Boat Veterans" Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry,
In Defense of Internment: The Case for "Racial Profiling" in World War II and the War on Terror, (Michelle Malkin gets on C-Span quite frequently),
Madame Hillary, The Real Jimmy Carter, Legacy, and Paying the Price for the Clinton Years.
and most recently,
Outrage: How Gay Activists and Liberal Judges Are Trashing Democracy To Redefine Marriage, Peter Sprigg
Anyway, I started talking about this afternoon's Book TV and David Horowitz.
Now my stomach hurts. Maybe I'll just tape it and watch it when I feel stronger.

Hey, I have a suggestion. Don't watch it at all! I mean really, what's the point of having a hurting stomach listening to what you already know they are going to say, when you can spend your time, oh, I don't know, doing something that doesn't make your stomach hurt, like lying in the sun (sorry, I know it's raining now, but the sun will come out, I promise!) or reading some good fiction, or I don't know, calling your seminarian friend? (grin)
