I really hope I never piss off James Wolcott. I’d hate to find myself eviscerated in a similar manner to Dinesh D’Souza.
D’Souza has written… something… entitled “The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11”. Yep. If you’re liberal, you’re responsible for 9/11. Nothing’s ever their fault, is it?
I doubt I could add anything to Wolcott’s post, but I’ll try. If I understand correctly, D’Souza’s point is that the Left is responsible for 9/11 because we’re too liberal and Muslims hate us for it.
“There is no way to restore the culture without winning the war on terror. Conversely, the only way to win the war on terror is to win the culture war. Thus we arrive at a sobering truth. In order to crush the Islamic radicals abroad, we must defeat the enemy at home.”
So we need to turn into the kind of people Muslims like so they won’t attack us? Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s institute sharia law. They’ll never attack us then!
Talk about an appeaser. Forget that. I like the idea of a liberal secular America, like the Framers intended.

The reason it hasn’t been made before is that it’s a sleazy, shameless, ignorant, ahistorical, tendentious, meretricious lie, one that was waiting for the right brazen liar to come along to promote it, and here he is, and his name is Dinesh D’Souza, who’s fatuous and fuddy-duddyish enough to think that it’s Britney Spears, the rap lyrics of 2 Live Crew, and the buggering photographs of the late Robert Mapplethorpe that have Islam in a tiz.
Ya!! Now thats the kind of fighting liberal I like.
