Dissecting David Horowitz' Hate Speech Against the Washington Demo

David Horowitz, former Marxist gone to neocon seed, writes about the Washington demo on his Scaife-funded webzine:

100,000 Zarqawi supporters massed in DC today demanding immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq which would mean—and every idiot East of the Mississippi obviously understands this—a bloodbath in Iraq itself, as Zarqawi and his army of Sunni jihadists set out to massacre every infidel who voted “for democracy” in the January 30th elections. Civil war would ensue. And be assured the blood would flow in the streets of New York and Washington as al-Qaeda, no longer pinned down on the Iraqi battlefields, would find a way now to strike at us.

For Horowitz and the neocons, disagreeing with Bush’s invasion and occupation is tantamount to treason and supporting terrorists—or imagined terrorists. I seriously doubt Horowitz believes every single person at the demo in Washington yesterday supports “Zarqawi” (a popular abbreviation for Ahmad Fadeel al-Nazal al-Khalayleh), a dead petty criminal of sub-standard intelligence. Not hide nor hair of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has appeared since he was killed in the Sulaimaniyah Mountains of northern Iraq. But it sounds good (from a Zionist viewpoint) and serves his purpose if the misrepresentation results in angering his enemies.
