Call to Action: Horowitz crosses the line on Marla Ruzicka
Horowitz published an article by Debbie Schlussel on his FrontPageMag.com site that is so vile it boggles the mind.

The article is so evil that it transcends left/right ideology. People from across the political spectrum should stand up as human beings and tell Horowitz and Schlussel that "enough is enough."

Article and contact info here:

Spread the word, svp.

Thank you.

1. If Debbie Schlussel were a dog, she would be put down for rabies.

She called it "Mad at Dad." :o

14. Why Bother
We are only feeding the egos of these people. Even writing a protest gives them recognition. It will only encourage them to greater efforts.
They are all trying to knock Queen Ann off her perch so have to become more outrageous than her, and that my fellow man is a very very tall order

2. I wrote her.
And I was, almost, civil.

4. Thanks. Did you see in her bio...
...that she is a lifetime member of MENSA?

Maybe we should petition MENSA to kick her out.

6. From a post I saw the other day, having a big brain...
doesn't mean you have a soul.

I'm really disgusted. Perhaps, too, are some (not many, but some) of her regular readers.

High IQ was not evident in the specious arguments put forth, like the one about money for Fallujah. Or that Ruzicka dressed in the custom of the land she visited.

Argh, damnit. Hell may not be big enough to hold people like Schlussell.

7. Sure hell is big enough. She'll be in the wing with the Nazi propagana
ministry...the lower grunt and officials.

How surprised she'll be when she, a Jew, finally and unequivocally learns that she is them, and they are she.

5. I saw that Schlussel column...all I can say is it's typical work for her
Schlussel is not the sharpest stick in the rw bundle. She tries to make up for her meager intellectual endowments with brashness and the whole catalog of fallacious argument techniques (ad hominem, begging the question, fallacy of extension, oversimplification, but especially, appeal to emotion).

Peace.

8. Unreal
Horowitz & this Schlussel person's words sure do make it obvious who they think this War is supposed to benefit...so vile to write such things about one whose work was bringing help to the innocent victims that we've created. The agenda in that piece rang clear & "democracy" it ain't!

Now I have to disinfect my 'puter for visiting such a nasty site! I hope the next pie is filled with steamy bull shit!

10. Antiwar-dot-com, the libertarian site, agrees. . .

(snip)(scroll down to the end)

It's time to draw the line against this increasingly assertive evil – by making an example out of Schlussel. Her piece goes way over the line, and those who posted it and approved it have to take a share of the responsibility. It's time to hold these people accountable for their ugliness, and force them to clean up their act – or else. Schlussel has a column at "Conservative Town Hall" and she writes frequently for the New York Post. Write to these folks, send them a copy of Schlussel's "dance of death" column, and politely inquire as to whether this is the sort of columnist they think ought to be gracing their pages. Write to David Horowitz and demand an apology. That fat old gasbag, always so full of self-righteousness, ought to get down on his knees and beg forgiveness from Marla's staunchly Republican parents, who are prostrate with grief.

Enough is enough. We're long overdue for a little spring cleaning: let's freshen the air and take this bitch down.
