So Ben Craw and I just got back from the final day of Islamofascism Awareness Week at Columbia University where David Horowitz delivered a speech that might be better titled David Horowitz Awareness Week. He actually seemed a little more scattered and ragged than I'd seen him in previous speeches. The highlight of sorts was when he discussed the recent incident in which a noose was left on the door of an African-American professor at the university. He agreed it was an 'unfortunate incident'. But his real point was the double standard it showed since nooses were being figuratively left on the doors of college Republicans who'd invited him to campus. And of course, a noose always hangs over Horowitz's head because of the threat of violence he's under from college progressives who want to silence Islamofascism Awareness Week.

On one level, it's obviously offensive. But the comedic dimensions of the man's self-pity and fantasies of victimization are far more profound.

Here's a video sneak peek look at next week's episode of TPMtv on the finale of Islamofascism Awareness Week and Horowitz's quote.
