We just added Talking Points Memo to the blogroll. I am betting that might upset some people on campus, but it is a worthy link. They will be releasing a TPMtv episode featuring coverage of at least the Columbia event from the final day of Islamfascism Awareness Week.

From their website:

So Ben Craw and I just got back from the final day of Islamofascism Awareness Week at Columbia University where David Horowitz delivered a speech that might be better titled David Horowitz Awareness Week. He actually seemed a little more scattered and ragged than I’d seen him in previous speeches. The highlight of sorts was when he discussed the recent incident in which a noose was left on the door of an African-American professor at the university. He agreed it was an ‘unfortunate incident’. But his real point was the double standard it showed since nooses were being figuratively left on the doors of college Republicans who’d invited him to campus. And of course, a noose always hangs over Horowitz’s head because of the threat of violence he’s under from college progressives who want to silence Islamofascism Awareness Week.

On one level, it’s obviously offensive. But the comedic dimensions of the man’s self-pity and fantasies of victimization are far more profound.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I think that it is a reasonable assumption that many of our students here at IU will not relate to the perspective offered.

It is required viewing for both the undergraduate and graduate programs and recommended viewing for the PhD program.
