An Interview with Robot Men From Mars

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with the Robot Men from Mars (well, their designated spokesperson, X12-4 (also known as Chad)). The discussion centered around a recent article by Mike S. Adams, entitled "An Interview with David Horowitz."

MMAC!!! - So tell me, Robot Man from Mars X12-4, why have you chosen to reveal yourself and give an interview at this time?

X12-4 - Well, I was looking at some of the articles at Townhall.Com this morning, and I noticed something I found disturbing. I decided that I needed to speak out against it.

MMAC!!! - And what was that?

X12-4 - There was an article by Dr. Mike S. Adams, entitled "An interview with David Horowitz." But it wasn't an interview with David Horowitz. It was an interview with Mike S. Adams, conducted by Jamie Glazov, an associate of David Horowitz. The only participation Mr. Horowitz apparently had in this process is that he talked with Mr. Adams right before participating in the interview.

MMAC!!! - Holy Moley! That does sound a bit disingenuous on Mr. Adam's part.

X12-4 - You bet, Mr. Make me a Commentator!!! There were some other minor problems with the interview as well, which centered on Academic Freedom or the lack thereof.

MMAC!!! - Can you give us an example, Robot Man from Mars?

X12-4 - Well one particularly troubling passage concerns Dr. Cornell West. Dr. Adams apparently feels that West (who appeared in the movie Matrix Reloaded) must be a racist because he has "ties" with Khalid Muhammad. Of course Mr. Adams leaves the nature of those ties somewhat vague. Were they friends? Political Allies? Dinner Guests?

MMAC!!! - That is a bit suspicious, isn't it?

X12-4 - Yes, it is. And to make matters worse he engages in a bit of vaguely racist characterization in describing West. Allow me to quote from the relevant passage. "I wish that West would stop scratching his beard, whispering, and rocking back and forth like a heroin addict in an all-night jazz bar and just answer some simple questions. Are you an anti-Semite? If not, why do so many of your friends seem to hate Jews?" Of course Dr. Adams only cites one friend and leaves their connection vague, so it is hard for us to judge how many of Cornell's friends are anti-Semitic.

MMAC!!! - Wow. That is interesting. But I'm afraid we are out of time. Thank you so much for speaking with us. Is there anything else you'd like to say?

X12-4 - No not really. Need to get back to finish preparations to invade Venus.
