David Horowitz Takes Aim at “Brown Daily Herald,” and Brown Generally

by Dan Haley | October 24, 2008 at 10:16 am

A few Ragtimes ago, I posted a story from the Brown Daily Herald about David Horowitz's visit to celebrate "Islamofacism Awareness Week." What's "Islamofasicsm Awareness Week," you ask? Apparently, it's a week where Horowitz goes around college campuses warning students about radical Islam. This year, Horowitz went to Brown, a school he was all but banned from in 2001 when he authored an ad in the Daily Herald called "10 Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery Is a Bad Idea and Racist Too." But gone are the days when Horowitz would pen batshit propaganda for the Herald. "Horowitz Lambastes Islam in Near-Empty MacMillan," the Herald's unflattering writeup of Horowitz's talk, drew the conservative thinker's anger.

In a 2,000 word article (Brown really pissed this guy off), Horowitz addresses the problems conservative thinkers encounter when speaking on college campuses:

Far greater is the problem presented by the generally hostile environment a conservative normally encounters on any campus. This includes destruction of flyers advertising one's event, failure of the campus newspaper to publicize it and failure of professors to recommend or even require student attendance as they regularly do for radical speakers.

Wait, I was supposed to go to all of those out-of-class lectures? No wonder I didn't get honors. After the jump, find out why Horowitz has no love for the Brownies. Read the rest of this entry »
