There’s a Terrorist Club on Campus?

That’s the allegation being made on college campuses across the country by right-wing activist author David Horowitz and his “Terrorism Awareness Project.” Horowitz has published several ads in campus newspapers linking the schools’ Muslim Student Association chapters with the Muslim Brotherhood (“the godfather of al Qaeda and Hamas”) and claiming that their purpose is “to […]

To Tase or Not to Tase?

These days, mention the word “Taser” and most people will recall the “Don’t Tase Me, Bro!” incident at the University of Florida John Kerry forum, and the viral video that accompanied it. While that video was certainly good for a few chuckles, watching it now casts a more somber light […]
