Huffington Post: David Horowitz = Ahmadinejad

Max Blumenthal, in a radiantly brilliant post, rewrites an AP news story about Ahmadinejad's desire to purge secular professors so that it refers to dreaded McCarthyite Neo-Con David Horowitz:
David Horowitz Freedom Center President David Horowitz called Tuesday for a purge of liberal and secular teachers from the country's universities, urging students to return to 1950's-style McCarthyism.

"Today, students should shout at the president and ask why liberal and secular university lecturers are present in the universities," Horowitz's official organ FrontPageMag quoted him as saying during a meeting with a group of students . . .
You get the idea. I wonder if it ever occurred to Blumenthal that most of the professors criticized by Horowitz are apologists for Ahmadinejad. So there you have it: someone who criticizes nutty professors is the exact equivalent of an Iranian Commissar who wants to purge professors who are not nutty enough.
