NOTES 1 Ann Coulter, cited in Willis, 2004, p. 21. 2 Cheney, cited in Ostroy, 2009. 3 Cited in Willis, 2004, p. 134. 4 McLaren, 2005, p. 226. 5 Beck’s views are explored in Chapter Four. 6 BuffaloBest.com, cited in Willis, 2004, p. 39. 7 My use of the term “the right” is not intended to suggest that such an entity exists as a homogeneous monolith. Indeed, there are differences and factions within the broader right but there are at least two camps that coalesce in their attacks on higher education and the so-called liberal academy: cultural and religious conservatives (Christian nationalists) who valorize “traditional” values and who seek to have religious doctrines and perspectives taught in public schools (i.e. intelligent design) and neo- conservatives who are keen on promoting corporate rule and education in the service of American empire. 8 See Alterman, 2005. 9 Cited in Dionne Jr., 2005. 10 See the editorial entitled “The Captive Mind” in The Nation, April 2005, pp. 3–4. 11 Schrecker, 1988; Zinn, 1991. 12 Piereson, 2005. 13 Cited in Blumenthal, 2005, p. 2. 14 Giroux, 2006, p. 8. 15 Doumani, 2006, p. 23. 16 Schrecker, 2006. 17 Parenti, 2004, p. 2. 18 Taylor, 2005, p. 39. 19 McClennen (2006, p. 44) explains how Loyalty Day was established in an effort to draw attention away from the communist and socialist inspired celebration of workers’ rights associated with Mayday (May 1). She adds that Loyalty Day was set aside as a day to symbolize “the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.” 20 See http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/04/200330430-26.html 21 McMurtry, 2002, pp. xii–xiii. 22 James, 2003, p. 74. 23 Schulz and Reyes, 2008, p. 636. 24 Sturken, 2007, p. 25. 25 Ibid, p. 7. 26 Ibid, p. 4. 27 Ibid, p. 16. 28 Hal Foster, cited in Sturken, 2007, p. 24. 29 Faludi, 2007, p. 8. 30 Noonan, 2001, p. 1. 31 Ibid, p. 3. 32 Ibid. 33 Cited in Wilkinson, 2006, p. 32. 34 People Weekly, 2002. 35 See Scatamburlo-D’Annibale, Suoranta and McLaren, 2007. 36 Of course, Bush’s jet flight was totally unnecessary. While the White House first claimed that the dramatic jet landing was needed because the ship would be hundreds of miles out to sea and therefore unreachable by helicopter, the USS Abraham Lincoln was within helicopter range but that didn’t offer the exciting visuals of a theatrical landing and Bush in a flight suit. For more on this 201 NOTES example of the Bush administration’s propaganda tactics and others, see Scatamburlo-D’Annibale, 2005. 37 Liddy, cited in Ducat, 2004, p. 244. 38 Ducat, 2004, p. 244. 39 Ducat, 2004, p. 229. 40 Ibid, p. 230. 41 Taylor, 2005. 42 Juhasz, 2006, p. 17. 43 Galeano, 2003. 44 McMurtry, 2002, p. 88. 45 Ibid, pp. 88–89. 46 Quoted in Rich, 2006, p. 3. 47 Alterman, 2003, p. 3. 48 Croteau, 1998.
