The National Review brings us our absolutely vile right wing article of the day, as David Horowitz says, “Thank You, ISIS,” for beheading people and posting the video —because according to Horowitz this will wake up Americans, make them truly hate all Muslims, and get us ready to kill, kill, kill.

He doesn’t even try to disguise this one with a boilerplate statement about “not all Muslims,” because why should he? The all-out hatred Horowitz espouses is now mainstream in the US conservative movement.

As is standard with twisted hate pieces like this, Horowitz concludes his disgusting rant by accusing President Obama of hating America and “identifying with the Islamic world.”

Language is a weapon in the battle against the threat we face. We cannot fight a war effectively when we cannot name the enemy or describe his methods or examine his influence on our own policy. The Islamic State has created an opportunity for common sense and realism to prevail. The tragedy is that it has taken the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Christians in the Middle East and the ongoing extermination of the Catholic presence in Iraq to begin to wake people up. And, unfortunately, the president is still asleep or, less charitably, is hostile to American purposes, is hostile to the military that defends us, and identifies more with the Islamic world that has produced these forces who would destroy us than with the country he is sworn to defend.
