An uniformed rant of a racist, sexist, homophobic quasi-intellectual, February 17, 2006
This book is nothing more than the uniformed rant of a racist, sexist, homophobic quasi-intellectual. Horowitz deserves to be classed with mysoginistic neo-nazi's hiding wilderness militia strong holds. A blatant anti-intellectual, his rant against freedom of speech, freedom of thought and racial, ethnic, religious and gender equality is nothing more than another sad example of anti-freedom dogma. If Horowitz had his way then we would live in a world of uniformed unquestioning political and intellectual submission to the wealthy white male elite of America.

Vulgar Fascism, February 17, 2006Do I think that Horowitz is clever enough to know that he is really a fascist through and through? Yes.But for those of you who are actually educated, I suggest you take a look at the first chapter of Perry Anderson's new book "SPECTRUM":... Written in 1991, it is prophetic in discerning the truly anti-democratic, crypto-fascist regime now spreading its wings in the United States.As for Mr David Horowitz, he is a fascist twit who publishes garbage.

DH: I'm still waiting for an outraged leftist to read the book he (or she) is attacking. Over the weekend I came across this "review," which appears on TPMCafe a collective blog site created by Joshua Micah Marshall. The writer of the review obviously hasn't read the book, and hasn't the foggiest idea of what its argument is. Why do leftists engage is such exercises in absurdity? Check it out if you want to see a man talking to himself and patronizing whoever it is he thinks he's talking to at the same time.
