[drumroll]...
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week
No fooling.
According to A Student's Guide to Hosting Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week:
During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.
Wow. We'll be rocked. Woken up even. It'll be, like, a Million Mook March.
And the truth will finally be told on campus:
In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an "Islamophobe." According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are "oppressors." Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.
And guess who's organizing that? That political entrepreneur and champion of religious, intellectual, and every other kind of tolerance and freedom, David Horowitz:
Horowitz, president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (previously the Center for the Study of Popular Culture) editor-in-chief of FrontPageMag.com, and founder of Students for Academic Freedom, is, of course, a former leading New Leftist who has found fame and fortune – he made $352,647 in 2005, according to tax records – on the extreme right and has done particularly well since 9/11 when he got in on the “Islamo-fascist” ground floor.
...According to tax records obtained through the Foundation Center, Horowitz has been the beneficiary in recent years of a number of far-right foundations, including the Allegheny ($575,000 since 2001), Carthage ($125,000) and Sarah Scaife Foundations ($800,000) – all three are part of Richard Scaife’s empire and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation (nearly $1.3 million). The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation ($475,000) also contributed nearly $500,000 to Horowitz’s enterprises over the same period.
More on Horowitz and his lucrative pursuit of Truth, Justice and The American Way here. And an essay on why Horowitz is (both literally and figuratively) such a tool.
This would also seem an opportune moment to recall Operation Yellow Elephant in case any of the patriotic young anti-Islamo-fascists might want to, you know, enlist or something.
