Fun Trivia

Name two members of the racist, sexist CAP organization other than Alito.


White males Laura Ingraham and Dinesh D’Souza.
Found this paragraph on an anti-Bush website:

PROGRESS REPORT – The White House portrays Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito’s views as in the “mainstream.” That claim is not supported by his judicial opinions or his activities prior to being nominated. In his 1985 application for a high-level job the Reagan administration, Alito touted his membership with “the Concerned Alumni of Princeton University.” Alito joined Concerned Alumni at its founding in 1972. The organization, co-chaired in the beginning by Asa Bushnell and Shelby Cullom Davis, put forth a magazine called the “Prospect,” espousing right-wing views against the inclusion of women, minorities, and other groups into Princeton. The New York Times notes, “The magazine’s content also grew increasingly provocative under the editorship of conservative rising stars, including Dinesh D’Souza and later Laura Ingraham.” The magazine was so extreme that a 1975 alumni panel including Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) refused to support it, concluding “that Concerned Alumni had ‘presented a distorted, narrow and hostile view of the university that cannot help but have misinformed and even alarmed many alumni’ and ‘undoubtedly generated adverse national publicity.'”

Kinda funny that the “views against inclusion of women, minorities, and other groups into Princeton” “grew increasingly provocative” when CAP’s magazine was edited by women and minorities.

  1. Nice point. It provides further positive correlation to the theory that it’s very hard to concentrate on anything when you’re filled with hate.
    Btw, is it possible to end the catblogging? I know you folks like cats and all, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but honestly . . .

  2. Let’s put it this way…
    When selecting a dog breed I was immediately drawn to the Rhodesian Ridgeback when I read that, since its bred for lion-hunting in S. Africa, it has a natural tendency to kill house cats if its not properly socialized with them as a puppy. BINGO! That’s the one!
    My soon-to-be neighbor two doors down has a beagle that howls a lot. My brother suggested I dress it up as a cat. Problem solved!
