There's not much to add to this, kids. Fox's resident psycho psychiatrist Kenneth Ablow wrote a column for Foxnews.com in praise of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto.
This being Fox, and the fact that Kaczynski was most strenuously anti-government, Ablow has to mention several times that he is distancing himself from the bombings themselves. To wit:
Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, was rightly imprisoned for life in 1998 for sending bombs that maimed and killed three people and injured 23 more, from 1978 to 1992. No one can excuse his terrorism.
Kaczynski’s ideas, however, described in a manifesto entitled, "Industrial Society and Its Future," cannot be dismissed, and are increasingly important as our society hurtles toward individual disempowerment at the hands of technology and political forces that erode autonomy.
And of course, completely ignoring the creators of this "technological terror", he uses this to attack, who else, Liberals.
As usual.
He saw the political “left” as embracing these technologies with special fervor, because they were in keeping with the “leftist” ideology that centralized power was the way to govern men.
He saw these “leftists” as psychologically disordered—seeking to compensate for deep feelings of personal disempowerment by banding together and seeking extraordinary means of control in society.
Well, Kaczynski, while reprehensible for murdering and maiming people, was precisely correct in many of his ideas.
Several times in the column, Ablow mentions how horrible the bombings were, but yet he praises his ideas, and tells the readers to get a copy of the manifesto and read it. And that one day it will be on a par with some of the great political works of the Twentieth Century.
What the Unabomber did was reprehensible. And he was wrong: Killing people to bring attention to his ideas ended up making most people lock up his ideas, along with him. They became unmentionable, for politically correct folks.
Well, I would rather be correct, than politically correct. And it is time for people to read “Industrial Society and its Future,” by convicted serial killer Ted Kaczynski. His work, despite his deeds, deserves a place alongside “Brave New World,” by Aldous Huxley, and “1984,” by George Orwell.
Gee, I wonder what recommending a manifesto written by a convicted terrorist that's blatantly anti-Liberal and anti-government to a crowd that already feels the same way will do. And not only recommend it, but place this terrorist manifesto among the great political literature?
And make no mistake--when these people talk about how governments misuse technology against their citizens, it's pure projection on their part. After all, they were the ones who created it. They just never expected to lose.
