Another leftist professor claims "McCarthyism"

They say patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Screaming out "McCarthyism" is the fallback for wounded Leftist professors.

From AP:

An alumni group is offering students up to $100 per class to supply tapes and notes exposing professors who allegedly express extreme left-wing political views at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The year-old Bruin Alumni Association says it is concerned about professors who use lecture time to press positions against President Bush, the military and multinational corporations, among other things. Its Web site has a list of what it calls the college's 30 most radical professors.

And finally...

Any sober, concerned citizen would look at this and see right through it as a reactionary form of McCarthyism," said education professor Peter McLaren, one of those cited by the association. "Any decent American is going to see through this kind of right-wing propaganda. I just find it has no credibility."

If Professor McLaren can't handle the heat of his left-wing rantings escaping into the public, then perhaps he should question the validity of those statements.
