Politics: With a Lead Pipe
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee will be meeting on July 23rd on the nomination of racist, bigot, right-wing nutjob Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace. I've written before here and here that Pipes' record is deplorable, and how his nomination is so clearly a neo-con giveaway from his very close friends in the evil anti-Arab war-monger cabal in the Pentagon. Pipes' racism masquerades as scholarly discourse, and as a result is particularly vile because it isn't easily dismissed (like Pat Robertson's deranged demand that millions pray for the death of his least favorite Supreme Court Justices). Pipes launched a website to monitor the activities of college professors who disagree with his ideas about disenfranchising American Muslims and his belief that Muslims in government, military and law enforcement service should be "watched." As an author, columnist and speaker, Pipes has spread his wretched gospel of hate and anti-Islam far and wide.
I, for one, am going to contact one of my senators, who happens to sit on the HELP Committee and (not for the first time) urge him to oppose Pipes' nomination to the USIP. The Institute of Peace is a government-charted organization dedicated to "promoting the peaceful resolution of international conflicts." It is hardly the place for a bigot who has told Jerusalem Post readers in 2001 that Israel needed to "take more active steps" against the Palestinian Authority. Pipes then advocated that Israel raze Palestinian villages and destroy the Palestinian Authority entirely. Remember, this is a nomination to the US Institute of PEACE.
If one of your senators happens to be (Rs) Gregg, Frist, Enzi, Alexander, Bond, DeWine, Roberts, Sessions, Ensign, L. Graham, Warner or (Ds) Kennedy, Dodd, Harkin, Mikulski, Bingaman, Murray, Reed, Edwards, Clinton, then maybe you'd like to give them a call, send a setter or at least send an email urging them to reject the nomination of Daniel Pipes to the US Institute of Peace. Bilious, divisive, racist commentary and intellectual demagoguery should never be honored with plaudits and promotions.
