This article was originally published by FrontPage Magazine, on September 19, 2007. It’s apparently the season for revivals of the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion or variations thereof.

Originally published by Salon on July 10, 2000. Anti-Americanism runs amok, again, and the left shows that nihilism is all that remains of its agenda.

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 the character assassin trade – distortion, smears and concocted tales, and a reflexive pouncing on every intellectual disagreement or error [...]
