Herman's ZSpace page
The heavy media attention being given to rejections of David Horowitz's ad on reparations for slavery is a throwback to the rightwing and "liberal media" political correctness campaign of 1991. In that earlier campaign, it was the alleged free spe...

I don't want to be overly dramatic, but I was sort of shot at yesterday. I say "sort of" because I don't think the Israeli soldiers in their tower were trying to hit me, or the people with me... if that had been their purpose I have no doubt that ...
