Why so-called professionals despise Diana West for researching communist history
Vladimir Bukovsky and Pavel Stroilov wrote about the reasons alleged academics like David Horowitz detest Diana West for writing about the history of communist influence and infiltration into the USA. I'd also suggest they're jealous of her. And now, they should be suitably embarrassed for all the attention they only ended up drawing to themselves for the decidedly undemocratic, disrespectful way they treated not only her, but also anybody who dared give a favorable opinion to her new book, American Betrayal.
This has made me wonder how they react if somebody like Caroline Glick or any other rightie in Israel wrote the book. The same way? Or would they suddenly have the audacity to just ignore what she published? Or, would they take to censoring the free speech of those who favor her books? Good question. Glick has some flaws of her own, but if she'd done what West did, I think it's safe to say she'd provide everybody with what to think about in regards to communist plagues.
Meanwhile, I hope Horowitz will wise up and keep his mouth shut and not give a poor impression of his otherwise stellar career as a former leftie whom I thought cared about solving bad influences.
Update: as West notes here, thanks very much to the 2 brave writers, the word battle is pretty much over, as it should've been decades ago.
