NPR spits on Howard Zinns Grave
    #11940791 -

"When progressive historian Howard Zinn died on January 27, NPR's All Things Considered marked his passing with something you don't often see in an obituary: a rebuttal. After quoting Noam Chomsky and Julian Bond, NPR's Allison Keyes turned to far-right activist David Horowitz to symbolically spit on Zinn's grave... Compare its coverage of the death of William F. Buckley, a figure as admired by the right as much as Zinn was on the left. Upon his death in February 2008, NPR aired six segments commemorating him, none of which included a non-admiring guest.
:grrr:

He wasn't even buried yet fucking assholes
Quote:
"There is absolutely nothing in Howard Zinn's intellectual output that is worthy of any kind of respect," Horowitz declared. "Zinn represents a fringe mentality which has unfortunately seduced millions of people at this point in time. So he did certainly alter the  consciousness of millions of younger people for the worse."

that's interesting, being that npr is generally notably progressive.  i would be interested in hearing the segment.  it seems unlikely to me that Horowitz's criticisms would have been the primary mood established by the show.

Horowitz is an idiot.  One of my professors is on his "101 Most Dangerous Academics" book and he's the most low key, chill person I've ever met.  Not dangerous.  Any time you push against the status quo there's going to be people trying to pull it all back in.

I heard the broadcast that day. They kept on replaying Horowitz quote over and over again all fucking day! They didn't play Noam Chomsky rebuttal at all.

Here is the link  to the broadcast

Im sorry but  when someone dies  its not the time to trash there politics

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Even NPR gets one right occasionally.


--------------------
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
