Islamo-Fascism Lie Fest
TTP is sure all of you took heed of previous warnings and marked your calendars so that you wouldn’t miss the David Horowitz “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” which was touted to be the “biggest conservative campus protest ever”. And if you happen to live in an area that lacks a “conservative campus” say, for instance, liberal Decatur with Emory University- don’t fret, serial liar Horowitz will just say it happened anyway:
Horowitz Inflates Number Of Schools Participating In His Divisive ‘Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week’
… But on CSPAN’s Washington Journal this weekend, Kareem Shora, the Executive Director of the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, said that Horowitz was dramatically overstating the number of participating schools:
We contacted those institutions, alerting them to the fact that their name was being used, and wondering what exactly was taking place. … It’s important to note though, after we contacted those institutions, most of those institutions indicated that no such events is taking place on those campus. And many contacted the sponsors and told them, “do not use my institution’s name in your campaign,” including some very renowned universities such as Yale and Princeton.
Shora also said that the president of Liberty University, the evangelical school founded by Jerry Falwell, also had their name removed from Horowitz’s list. </em>
And what about the lucky few who actually did attend? They don’t give it very high marks, such as the conservative blog Blackfive:
Islamo-Fascism lameness- Horowitz sucked Hoover
He was so uninspiring a speaker they didn’t even really heckle him. I will give credit to the Muslim Student Association and the other groups who were there in opposition, they maintained more decorum than Mr. Horowitz. By the end he was saying “Well I guess you just aren’t able to read” and “I don’t know what to do if you can’t add two and two and get four”
A rather astonishing statement from a man seemingly unable to tell the truth.
