McCarthy is alive!
I have to admit I disapprove of people voting for things based upon political agenda, whether it be liberal or conservative. So I borrowed the book, read it, but more so than that I did some outside research.
I go to college and find it unusual that people believe that there is this pervasive liberal front going on in our academia. I have never heard a professor in the middle of biology, physics, psychology, philosophy, or any other classes in a differing field ever go on a tangent about politics. Such is an attempt from the uneducated conservative movement, who don't understand the processes of critical thought, to explain why it is intelligence and liberalism correlate.
This witch-hunt book mirrors the efforts of Joseph McCarthy and his brigade to attack, defame, and slander anyone who dare speaks their opposing opinions, and then label such speech "liberal".
Any critical thinker who reads this book will realize Horowitz has never attended the classes, nor engaged in dialogue with the professors he so labels "communist, terrorist-loving traitors", So where does he get his information? Hearsay? Fabrications? Who knows. All I know is that this book out not be read by any conservative for it only inflames their ignorance of academia.
