David Horowitz


AKA David Joel Horowitz
Born: 10-Jan-1939
Birthplace: Forest Hills, NY
Gender: Male
Religion: Jewish
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Activist, Author
Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Conservative activist
The prototypical red diaper baby, David Horowitz was raised by Marxist parents and naturally followed suit. He grew up, moved to Berkeley, and joined the Black Panthers. It was only after one of his close friends got murdered by the Panthers (at least, that's what Horowitz believes) that he began to re-think Socialism. His political views eventually swung almost as far right-of-center as they had been left.
According to Horowitz's autobiography Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey, his third marriage broke under the strain of his wife's drug addiction:
I confronted [Shay] now and reminded her that marriage was a commitment, and that she had violated a basic term of ours, which was her promise to give up drugs. The futility of what I was saying overwhelmed me as I spoke. She had revealed to me, earlier, that her drug was crack cocaine, and -- as this episode showed -- she was still out of control.
In his book Hating Whitey, Horowitz dismissed Dr. Cornel West as "an intellectual of modest talents whose skin color has catapulted him into academic stardom with a six-figure income."
"Jimmy Carter is disgusting. He was a terrible President, and he's been the worst ex-President this country has ever had." [C-SPAN, August 2, 2004]
"What I've shown is that there are only a couple of degrees of separation between anybody on the left and the terrorists -- and that includes people in the Democratic Party, even those who are anti-terrorist." [The Washington Times, March 24, 2005]

Haha thank you.

I had no idea he joined the Black Panthers.

Yeah, he's been around the block, and speaks from experience, not just imagined ideology. From what I've seen of him, he's a real straight-talking stand-up guy.

I hope he doesn't criticize Muslim polygamy too much...

Just goes to show us that Conservatives are able to embrace those who renounce their liberal past and walk the right road.

I think he had to have been married to at least two of them at the same time for that to apply.
Kidding aside, I frankly doubt he's too concerned with the marital habits of Muslims.

Grim17

He was on the Glenn Beck show today. The man knows what he's talking about when it comes to liberals and the progressive movement.

lizzie

Yeah, be careful who you hate, because you may find that you love them tomorrow.

Arch Enemy

Nice credentials. Props to him.

Maybe SOV was mixed up when he saw that one of Horowitz's wives was named, "Moorman*."


(*Mormon...even though the Church of LDS does not condone polygamy anymore.)
