Good news everyone! Democrats are invited to join the Students for Academic Freedom, and all they have to do is to concede that they are bad people who hate America! While Joe Lieberman may still want to join up, it was pretty clear to everyone at the conference that Democrats were either a) not fit to be in the presence of Mr. Horowitz or b) too busy aiding terrorists to come out to the conference.

David Horowitz introduced the second panel by saying that "it was always my ambition to make this a nonpartisan organization" -- and then the panel proceeded to tell us that we should join the College Republicans on campus and make 9/11 memorials that aren't "politically correct" like the liberals want (I'm still trying to figure out what the difference is between a liberal and a conservative 9/11 memorial). Only one speaker talked about professor bias at all, and even he explained that College Republicans was "a great organization."

Former Pennsylvania Rep. Gib Armstrong out-wingnut-ed the rest of the panel, though, by saying that "it's a great irony that people whose fundamental instinct is totalitarianism are called liberals." He also explained that liberals "hate freedom" because they want to allow professors to express their opinions in the classroom and that its no wonder that they support terrorists. He also said that "those who trade freedom for security deserve neither" -- which was totally irrelevant to the rest of his speech and a wonderfully ironic move for a Bush "let's wiretap and torture everything" Republican.

This is a conference where, when a veteran was explaining how he was called a "baby killer" by a socialist (who has no connection to the college's administration, but its somehow their fault anyway), a member of the audience called out "just like those abortionists!" Horowitz, who admits to getting millions of dollars from conservative donors, is pretending to be non-partisan; but when liberals are treated as totalitarian, evil, anti-american baby killers at his conference, its a hard sell.
