Letter to the Editor
Horowitz should look closer at conservatives

David Horowitz, in a presentation sponsored by the Penn State College Republicans, warned of the influence of "The Hate-America Left on College Campuses" and their "dangerous views . . . in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks." The very first prominent academic to rush before television cameras and blame America's own culture for this terrible tragedy was, however, the president of Liberty Baptist University, Jerry Falwell. As Falwell's comments were given wide publicity on Sept. 11 and 12, I doubt that Horowitz could have missed them. Perhaps the College Republicans and Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture might be persuaded to broaden their inquiry just a bit and to examine the dangerous views looming on their right.
