So why the continuing lies? The reason is this: The truth is too embarrassing. Imagine what it would be like for Betty Friedan (the name actually is Friedman) to admit that as a Jew she opposed America’s entry into the war against Hitler because Stalin told her that it was just [...]
Sullying the Good Name of Frederick Douglass: First Self-Parodying Hate Mail, Then an Automatically-Deleted Anti-Semitic Comment
March 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
NRB got some hate mail last week from a coward calling himself “Fredrick Douglass.” (Apparently his admiration for the great anti-slavery orator is so overwhelming he’s unable to spell the name correctly.) The email was pathetic in its illiteracy and reliance on anti-American cliches:
Message body:
I have to laugh when I read the phoney baloney outrage [...]

PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY WITH THE LEFT often ask the following question: How is it possible for decent human beings not to be progressive like us? How can they not share our concern for social justice or the better world we are attempting to create? The answers offered by progressives are that ignorance clouds the understanding [...]

Every movement has its moment of truth. At an “anti-war” teach-in at Columbia last week, Anthropology professor Nicholas De Genova told 3,000 students and faculty, “Peace is not patriotic. Peace is subversive, because peace anticipates a very different world than the one in which we live–a world where the U.S. would have no place.”
De Genova [...]

For his entire adult life, Obama’s closest political allies have been pro-Soviet progressives like state senator Alice Palmer who chose Obama as the politically appropriate figure whom she chose to inherit her state senate seat; or anti-American radicals like Bill Ayers, who organized a terrorist army in the 1970s with the intention of launching a [...]
Stalinism from America’s Hat: Ann Coulter Threatened with Arrest by College Administrator for Upcoming Speech in Canada

Hat-tip to Queen Kathy Shaidle, who alerted NRB to this MUST READ post at Coren’s Comment:
Dear Ms. Coulter,
I understand that you have been invited by University of Ottawa Campus Conservatives to speak at the University of Ottawa this coming Tuesday. We are, of course, always delighted to welcome speakers on our campus and hope that [...]
Stupak the Snookered Stooge Can’t See the Dark Forest Into Which He’s Leading America
March 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Rep. Bart Stupak cannot see the forest for the trees.
The principled* pro-life Democrat recently announced his surrender to Obamacare. He will vote for the bill because of a promised executive order to prevent funding for abortion.
My friend Paul Cooper has pointed out that President Obama’s executive order could easily be rescinded. That’s only part of [...]

David Horowitz: Well, this is just sophistry. First of all, in my book, Unholy Alliance, I devote a lot of space to showing how parallel the views are of very prominent American leftists Noam Chomsky, [Howard Zinn], Eric Hobsbawm, and even so-called moderates like Todd Gitlin, who would be appalled at being [...]
