David Horowitz's Campus Jihads

The above title is not mine, but I assume what we are seeing developing here is an aggressive truth squad approach to academic things. I am a bit sick of the 'leftish' characterizations of my concerns. Such is an instance of what Anthony Flew calls in his text, How to Think Straight, the fallacy of pseudo refuting descriptions (an image or metaphor used to distort a complex state of affairs) with a touch of the ad hominem (subject-motive shift) attack on the person rather than his/her arguments and the fallacy of the undistributed middle which Flew also calls the un-American fallacy after the McCarthy era assertion that, as communists deplored poverty and social injustice, so anyone who also deplored poverty and injustice must have been a communist. I guess we should be aware of the funding sources of such things:
