Stunning proof that the right wing are the new Maoists
From Billmon. Some of you have undoubtedly seen this, but for those that have not, the whole thing is worth a gander.

"The Left has taken over academe. We want it back.

Mike Rosen, Rocky Mountain News columnist
CU is Worth Fighting For
March 4, 2005

In this great Cultural Revolution, the phenomenon of our schools being dominated by bourgeois intellectuals must be completely changed.

"I have undertaken the task of organizing conservative students myself and urging them to protest a situation that has become intolerable.

David Horowitz
The Campus Blacklist
April 18, 2003

Students on University campuses were organized into groups of “Red Guards” and were given the chance to challenge those in authority. Students quickly turned their attacks on their closest adversaries, their teachers and university administrators.

"In Colorado and Indiana, a national conservative group publicized student allegations of left-wing bias by professors. Faculty . . . were pictured in mock "wanted" posters; at least one college said a teacher received a death threat.

During the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards turned to a more spontaneous medium to denounce alleged counterrevolutionaries. They wrote "big character posters" and posted them outside people's houses or schools to publicly expose their alleged crimes.

4. Who's Funding These Assh*les?
They want to control thought. Anyone who is a "Free Thinker" or intellectual poses a threat to their Fascist ELITE masters. The assholes who fall for this shit exhibit the "Master Slave" mentality. Enough is enough...

5. I know many great Maoist activists.
They should not be compared with these fascist scum. Maoists never were racists and Nazis like Horowitz and Co.
