In the long run-up to Robert Spencer's upcoming speech at Stanford University, various PC MCs and Muslims have become hysterical about what this portends -- apparently imagining him to be some kind of racist, Islamophobic monster. In Spencer's many short pieces on these irrational reactions, he has slung the epithet "Leftist" around at his various detractors liberally (pun intended) and well nigh universally.
With one exception -- when a Jewish student condemned him for potentially fomenting an anti-Semitism against Muslims as, in effect, the "New Jews", I noticed a curious absence of the L word in his article in reference to this particular Jewish attacker. He mentions "Leftist" all over the place in his commentary on the report, but only tangentially, never flat-out calling this Jewish writer, Courtney Cooperman a "Leftist" nor directly insinuating she is one.
