The shit that I get in my inbox

This is an email from Newsmax.com I received today. I don't read Newsmax (mostly because it requires me to not think) but I keep getting stupid updates abut events and offers i'm not even remotely interested in. What are these guys trying to get me involved with? Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week!

Dear Newsmax Reader,

We are mounting the barricades once again! This week marks our second Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week with events planned on over 105 college campuses across the country.

You folks are 'mounitng the barricades', alright! Against the forces of common sense and reason.

Islamo Fascism Awareness Week is an effort to bring the truth into the suffocating ideological bias of our universities. It comes as no surprise that the radical left is organizing to stop our speakers. This is what happened last fall when they shut down my speech at Emory, threatened former Muslim Nonie Darwish at Berkeley, and disrupted several of our speakers.

Give me a break. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is another way to remind sheeple of why they need to be afraid of the brown man.

They want to kill this event because they knew know that awareness about Islamo Fascism means the end of their political monopoly on campus and the beginning of a student movement that honors and supports our country. Because of this threat, we are once again forced to pay for extra security to ensure our speakers’ safety. And today, I'm asking for your financial help today to offset this extra cost to the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Please follow this link today to make a donation of $35, $50, $100, $250, $500 or more.

More delusions of grandeur. This event is just a tool; another fearmongering ad created by the right-wing to rob Americans of our judgment, our reason, and our common sense by scaring the shit out of its citizens and offer us another false sense of security by voting Republican, while at the same time, continuing to trash our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and doing whatever you damn well wish without anyone lifting a finger. If your power-hungry neocons actually gave a damn about stopping terrorism, you wouldn't have a need to be pulling this kind of stunt, and you would actually continue the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden (remember him?) and his thugs, the Taliban (remember these guys as well?).

Our campus coordinators - brave young men and women willing to go up against the radical left to get the truth to their fellow students - are working night and day against incredible odds to make the Week a success. And unless, the radical, pro-jihad groups succeed in silencing us, by the end of the week over 40 speakers such as Nonie Darwish, Robert Spencer and Frank Gaffney will have appeared on campuses across the country- from UC Berkeley to Columbia; from Ohio State and Michigan.

Funny, these young men and women are considered brave for aiding your idiotic, fearmongering agenda but they aren't sighing up to hunt down some of them 'islamo-fascists' in Iraq.

But the opposition is building, both in its intensity and its potential for violence. (I have been forced to provide bodyguards for all our speakers and the campus police have been on high alert at every school where they have appeared). The entire political left, from the Revolutionary Communist Party to the Young Democrats, is up in arms against us. The violent hardcore left is urged on in its rhetoric of violence with a wink and a nod by the "moderate" left.

I write you now to ask you to support the brave students who have invited us to bring the oxygen of truth to their campuses. This must be a permanent campaign to help these young people continue the awareness campaign; to organize on more campuses; to make sure that the left does not silence what some are already calling one of the most important public information campaigns of our era.

'the oxygen of truth?' LOL! What a load.

If you've given money before to our cause, I thank you once again. But I have to say that no contribution you've ever given before will have such a dramatic effect as what you give now. Every dollar you pledge will help us to keep building awareness about the Islamo fascists who hope to disarm our country and see it defeated in the War on Terror. This is our chance to strike back at them and to build a movement that will deny them an intellectual haven on America's college campuses.

We must continue the battle against Islamo Fascism as it tries to weaken American from within, and we can't do it without your help. Please give whatever you can afford today.

Fuck you. It's assholes like you why this country is so polarized today.

My sincere thanks,

David Horowitz
President & Founder
