David Horowitz at UH

Last night, conservative activist (and former liberal activist) David Horowitz spoke at the University of Hawaii.

Though it was advertised on Ka Leo ads, the speech didn't get the publicity that Al Quaida sympathizer Ward Churchill got when he came here a few months ago.

At the auditorium, there was a lot of security. Several large guys were in front to protect Horowitz.

When he was being introduced, a woman offered a lei. He took it but didn't wear the lei. A very bad 1st impression. In Hawaii, when offered a lei, you wear it. The audience thought that was rude. In the Q&A session, Horowitz said he was surprised by the offer of a lei and didn't wear it because it would make him uncomfortable.

Horowitz barely begun talking when an old fool yelled "I dont have to listen this" and then left. What an idiot.

Horowitz went on to say that the Left was full of hate. He said that the leftists who refused to fight in Vietnam stayed in college and became tenured radicals who care more about indoctorination than education.

Horowitz mentioned the analogy that you dont go to the doctor to get political rants, and neither do you go to English class to get a political rant. I clapped at the statement (considering my run in with Dr Foltz) but then Horowitz suggest we not interrupt his speech with applause. What an ingrate.

Horowitz mentioned that the head of UH Political Science dept. had an anti-war poster, which Horowitz says intimidates students who might be pro-war.

Horowitz accused the Left of protecting Saddam Hussein (which provoked an audience member to mention that Donald Rumsfeld shook Saddam's hand in 1983), supporting Ayatollah Khomeni of Iran (who killed more people than the overthrown shah) and of ruining the education system of many inner cities.

Horowitz told the audience to be proud of the US, that it liberated Iraq & Afghanistan, and that it put non-whites in positions of power (ie Condi Rice)

After Horowitz's monologue, there was a Q&A session. I was going to ask Horowitz's opinion on the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. However, another person was called on earlier to ask the same question. Horowitz said he doesn't know much about the issue.

During the Q&A session, the hippie leftists were rude. They interrupted Horowitz and those asking questions. This one crazy old lady in the back kept ranting, prompting older conservative attendess to tell her to shut up.

This went on and on.This one old guy in the front was going to ask a question. He was supposed to be the last questioner of the night. Yet the same old lady from the back kept screaming. A security guard went to the old lady but the hippie leftists kept blocking the guard.

Horowitz said he was leaving and walked out. That was a bad move. He should've just let the old man in the front ask his question.

This is all I can remember about the speech for now.

If I have more on it, I'll add on to this post.
