Hillary Clinton "said that Chelsea [Clinton] was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea's life."

In fact, Media Matters reprinted verbatim Horowitz's defense of Gibson from his appearance on the August 1 edition of Hannity & Colmes. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608070004 Mon, 7 Aug 2006 14:55:31 EST FrontPageMag's Laksin falsely claimed Media Matters "concede[d]" that half the professors in Horowitz's book "use their classrooms for political agendas" http://mediamatters.org/items/200606120009 FrontPageMag.com senior editor Jacob Laksin falsely claimed that a Media Matters for America study of right-wing activist David Horowitz's book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America "concede[d] that nearly half the professors [Horowitz profiled] do in fact use their classrooms for political agendas." Media Matters conceded no such thing. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606120009 Mon, 12 Jun 2006 18:10:43 EST Horowitz: "Cornel West is a black airhead" http://mediamatters.org/items/200606020004 David Horowitz referred to Princeton University professor Cornel West as a "black airhead," adding that he "is blessed with these unearned and undeserved perks solely because he's black." Horowitz further described West's work as "useless" and claimed that he "hasn't written as scholarly paper or book in twenty years (if ever)." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606020004 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:29:13 EST Horowitz attacked "the creatures" at Media Matters, claimed we drew distinction between "lies" and "falsehoods" -- but he has done the same http://mediamatters.org/items/200604250010 David Horowitz attacked "the creatures" at Media Matters for America for "pars[ing] the difference between making false claims and lying" to rebut Horowitz's assertion that Media Matters accused him of "lying" in noting his false claim that his book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, doesn't attack "professors' political speech" outside the "classroom." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604250010 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 19:42:08 EST David Horowitz debunks David Horowitz: a Media Matters analysis of The Professors http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180011 Right-wing activist David Horowitz has attacked Media Matters for America for noting -- contrary to Horowitz's denial on the April 6 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes -- that his recent book contains numerous instances in which he cited the purported extracurricular activities of the professors he criticized in the book. Horowitz has conceded that there is a "sliver of truth in the Media Matters statement" that documented his inconsistencies, but he downplayed this, claiming that "my book is a series of profiles of 101 professors" that includes "general perspectives, [that] may or may not be expressed outside the classroom." However, a detailed Media Matters study of the book shows that Horowitz's suggestion that his book does not rely heavily on professors' activities and speech outside of the classroom is false. http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180011 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 19:37:45 EST A day after calling Media Matters a "smear site," Horowitz conceded "sliver of truth" in Media Matters item http://mediamatters.org/items/200604140010 In a blog post on his FrontPageMag.com website, David Horowitz falsely claimed that Media Matters called him a liar. But he also admitted that there is a "sliver of truth in the Media Matters [April 10] statement" pointing out that on the April 6 edition of Hannity & Colmes, Horowitz falsely claimed that he does not attack university professors' political speech outside the classroom. http://mediamatters.org/items/200604140010 Fri, 14 Apr 2006 18:19:22 EST Coulter on the issue of AIDS: Hollywood "got caught with its pants down" and "got it right in the end" http://mediamatters.org/items/200603090003 In her March 8 syndicated column, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter wrote that Hollywood "got caught with its pants down" on the issue of AIDS and "got it right in the end." http://mediamatters.org/items/200603090003 Thu, 9 Mar 2006 12:59:00 EST
