Have You Hugged An Islamo-Fascist Today?

by Ann Coulter

10/24/2007

College liberals are in a fit of pique because various speakers are coming

to their campuses this week as part of David Horowitz's Islamo-Fascism

Awareness Week -- not to be confused with Islamo-Fascism Appreciation Week,

which I believe is in April.

Apparently liberals support Islamo-fascism. The Democratic leadership might

want to have a powwow with their base because I believe their public

position is

to pretend to oppose Islamic fascism.

Elected Democrats at least make empty rhetorical gestures about opposing

Islamic fascism. Of course, amidst their nonspecific condemnations of

Islamic terrorism, they

make very specific demands that we genuflect before Islam and perform exotic

fetishes on the fascists.

Liberals believe in burning the American flag, urinating on crucifixes, and

passing out birth control pills to 11-year-olds without telling their

parents -- but God forbid an infidel touch a Quran at Guantanamo.

College campuses across the nation are installing foot baths to accommodate

Muslims' daily bathing ritual, while surgically removing the Ten

Commandments from every public space in America. Maybe the Ten Commandments

could be printed on towels and kept next to the foot baths.

The National Council for Social Studies recommended a lesson plan after 9/11

that included a story titled "My Name Is Osama" about a nasty little white

boy, "Todd," who taunts a fine upstanding Iraqi immigrant named "Osama." Go

ahead, laugh it up -- we'll see who's laughing when "My Name Is Osama" ends

up on ABC's prime-time lineup next

year.

This story was proposed in response to an event in which Muslims with names

like "Osama" committed the most massive hate crime in U.S. history against

3,000 innocent civilians with names like "Todd."

Still and all, Democrats who seek the votes of their fellow Americans

continue to claim in a vague, meaningless way to oppose Islamo-fascism.

And then when speakers like Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer and producer of the

ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11," and Nonie Darwish, whose father founded

the Fedayeen, show up on college campuses to criticize Islamic terrorism,

the Democratic base threatens to riot. The only thing that makes the

cut-and-run crowd mad enough to fight is the idea that someone, somewhere

might be criticizing radical Islam.

Consequently, the speakers for Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week require the

sort of security phalanx one would expect for someone more like Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad.

Oh wait -- no. Ahmadinejad was cheered by college students a few weeks

ago -- at least until he expressed reservations about sodomy. (On the basis

of Ahmadinejad's claims, instead of looking for weapons of mass destruction

in Iraq, how about we start looking for gays in Iran?)

Even American intellectuals like Dennis Prager and Michael Medved who are

speaking during Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week are denounced by liberals as

if they were

David Duke. One pro-Islamo-fascism Web site indicts Medved on the grounds

that he "has claimed that Islam has a 'special violence problem.'" It

doesn't get much more

diplomatic than that.

Conservative speakers are constantly being physically attacked on college

campuses -- including Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and me,

among others. Fortunately

the attackers are Democrats, so they throw like girls and generally end up

with their noses bloodied by pretty college coeds. But that doesn't make it

right.

Michael Moore can waddle anywhere he wants in America without fear of

violence from Republicans. But we still have to hear about every testy

e-mail Paul Krugman ever

receives as if liberals are living in the black night of fascism. Any time

Krugman wants to get into a "Most Vicious Hate Mail" contest, just say the

word. You don't hear me

sniffling.

Congressional Democrats are constantly calling for conservative private

citizens to be silenced. Even Democratic candidates for president and their

wives are

getting in on the act.

A few weeks ago, in the midst of Senate Democrats' demand that Rush

Limbaugh's microphone be silenced, Lizzie Edwards distracted herself from

the latest National

Enquirer by announcing on Air America that Limbaugh's draft

deferment was phony.

I was pretty shocked. Who knew Air America was still on the air?

I know every time Democrats call for me to be silenced, I feel a delicious

surge of martyrdom. For a brief moment, I understand the thrill the left

gets by going around claiming to be victimized all the time.

I could almost imagine a poem:

First they came for Rush Limbaugh, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't

Rush Limbaugh;

And then they came for Ann Coulter, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't

Ann Coulter;

And then they came for David Horowitz, and I didn't speak up because I

wasn't David Horowitz;

And then ... they came for me ... And by that time there was no one left to

speak up

Liberals claim to be terrified that the Religious Right is going to take

over the culture in a country where more than a million babies are

exterminated every year, kindergarteners can be expelled from school for

mentioning God, and Islamic fascists are welcomed on college campuses while

speakers opposed to Islamic fascism are met with angry protests.

If liberals want to face real fascism, try showing up on a college campus

and denouncing fascism.

No.

They only exist in your and Cooter's imagination.. or invagination as

the case may be.

Analysis of these seven regimes reveals fourteen common threads that

link them in recognizable patterns of national behavior and abuse of

power. These basic characteristics are more prevalent and intense in

some regimes than in others, but they all share at least some level of

similarity.

1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. From the

prominent displays of flags and bunting to the ubiquitous lapel pins,

the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime

itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious.

Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common

themes in expressing this nationalism. It was usually coupled with a

suspicion of things foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. The regimes themselves

viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the

objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the

population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by

marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted. When abuse was

egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. The most

significant common thread among these regimes was the use of

scapegoating as a means to divert the people

Sorry, I forgot:

9/11 was an "inside job."

Al Qaeda never did and doesn't exist.

Ted really did try to save Mary Jo but she fought him off.

The spoon made Rosie fat.

Guns really do load, aim and fire themselves with great precision.

The CIA drugged Bill and forced Monica at gunpoint to do him.

Mexico is a utopian paradise and Mexicans sneak into America to see how the

poor half live.

They filmed the Moon landings in your basement.

Buckwheat is a real Christian patriot.

John Edwards is heterosexual.

Hitlary doesn't have a penis.

Bill Maher does have a penis.

And I don't pay enough taxes.
