This article was originally published by Salon on October 20, 1997. Two weeks ago, three leftist radicals from the University of Wisconsin were arrested and charged with spying. The media played the story big. But I still have one question: Why only three? James Clark, Kurt Stand and Theresa Squillacote were all New Left enthusiasts, Maoists [...]
First published at FrontPage Magazine on March 8 2007 here. Blumenthal recently attacked the Freedom Center in a piece here. The successes of the academic freedom campaign and the publication of The Professors have produced a rash of websites and a phalanx of pundits devoted to attacking them. Their assaults deploy the unsavory weapons of [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on November 3, 1997. Six months ago I wrote in Salon that the AIDS crisis was“just beginning.” Despite — even because of — the development of anti-viral drug “cocktails” and a modestly declining death rate, the sexual promiscuity among gay males that fueled the epidemic, I wrote, was likely [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on December 15, 1997. Try this exercise: Imagine that a white player in the National Basketball Association had first tried to strangle his black coach and then threatened to kill him in front of the whole team. Suppose that this white player had previously threatened a teammate with [...]
When conservatives try to meet at Columbia, ideologues shout them down, with the backing of the administration.
This article was originally published by Salon on February 10, 1997. At a time when its latest heroes are a fascist (Eva Peron) and a misogynist (Larry Flynt), it is perhaps not surprising that Hollywood is experiencing a crisis of conscience in finding a place in its heart for a patriot like Elia Kazan. Last [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on November 17, 1997. The oddest feature of the affair that pits White House flak Sidney Blumenthal against Internet gadfly Matt Drudge is probably the most revealing: the failure of the press to defend one of its own. Last August, Blumenthal filed a $30 million libel suit against Drudge [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on December 1, 1997. Of all the misnomers of our political vocabulary, “progressive” is the most abusive and the most abused. “Progressive” is the accepted term for the political left today, just as it was 50 years ago, when it was used as a self-description by Communists and [...]
Why does President Clinton still get a pass from America’s feminists? Because being a liberal is more important than being a sexual predator.
The physical assault on Ann Coulter at Cornell proves that fascism is alive and well on U.S. campuses.
Black leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson criticize racialing profiling in the legal system, but they espouse the same logic in their own politics.
There’s good news and bad news in higher education today. The good news is that a university education can provide a pass, open to all, to the incredible bounties of the information age economy. The bad news is that the price of the pass can be the equivalent of a Ferrari, putting the average student [...]
This article originally appeared at Salon on October 26, 1998. Two weeks ago, Matthew Shepard was tortured and left to die on the high plains of Wyoming simply because he was gay. On June 7, a similar attack was made against James Byrd Jr., a black man in Texas. Both murders were followed by outpourings [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on March 23, 1998. David Brock is famous once again. In the April Esquire, and in countless television interviews, the slayer of Anita Hill, the outer of “Paula,” the relentless scourge of sanctimonious liberals goes down on his knees to plant an unlikely kiss on the presidential posterior. [...]
This article was originally published by Salon on April 20, 1998. Salon is in the news. Stories by Murray Waas and Jonathan Broder concerning Whitewater witness David Hale have ratcheted up the Clinton assault on special prosecutor Ken Starr. They have been cited in the pages of Time magazine and the New York Times, and [...]
Editor’s note: In March 2001, Alicia Montgomery dubbed David Horowitz “the white Al Sharpton.” Below is his response, originally published by Salon on March 19, 2001. A depressing aspect of the debate that I seem to have started is how one-sided it remains. In the thousands of words written in response to the 1,300-word ad [...]
This article was originally published by Salon, on May 4, 1998. For years, Richard Rorty held court as one of the foremost left-wing intellectuals in America. In his latest book, “Achieving Our Country,” he describes the left as anti-American, negative, lacking any program and politically irrelevant. Damning as this indictment might seem, Rorty has no [...]
Editor’s Note: This is a comment that David Horowitz left at Tablet Magazine here. The post was inspired by this New York Magazine article here which we’ll have more on soon at NRB. I am honored to be compared to Marty Peretz who is currently undergoing a purge by the left — one of its [...]
This article was originally published by Salon, on November 9, 1998. What if 90 percent of the white electorate had turned out last Tuesday to vote for Republican candidates in virtually every electoral district across the country? What if Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott had spent the last weeks before the election visiting all-white churches [...]
This article was originally published by Salon, on June 1, 1998. Just when you thought the old socialist left was dead and buried, it is sprouting up across the cultural landscape like a spring weed on Viagra.
