TPM Reader PK reports in on Islamofascism Awareness Week in Rhode Island, my old stomping ground ...

You'll be happy to know the local public radio affiliate here in Providence, WRNI, has gotten into the festivities. They ran a story on the morning drive local news segment this morning about Islamofascism Awareness Week and the effort to challenge "leftist professors" attacking Bush. The University of Rhode Island is apparently involved, but there was no indication of what they are actually doing to advance the cause of getting David Horowitz' name out there....er...I mean to advance the cause of IAW. They did quote a college Republican who said the week would allow them to target "tenured leftist professors teaching anti-American curriculum". How they are doing that--beyond finding gullible media people desperate to bow before the altar of "objectivity" and "balance" by reading Horowitz' press releases on air--remains uncertain.
