#1 As usual, the commie Chronicle couches the facts with a leftist slant. Beinin is a supporter of terror. Horowitz called him on it. Beinin didn't like Horowitz' free speech. simple as that.

#2 "Horowitz calls Beinin a self-hating Jew"

Good one Horowitz. You really are a master debater,

#5 Horowitz isn't just a former leftwing radical, but a genuine "Red Diaper Baby." His parents were active Communist Party apparchiks through the 1950s, I believe.

I've been tracking the schools the trailing daughters express interest in through Mr. Horowitz's site, and the evidence I find there is one of the factors that will help us make the final choice. Duke, for instance, had been off our list ever since their Provost (or whatever they call the Dean of Students these days) organized that PLO conference a few years, and justified it to *me* on the grounds that his dear old, Holocaust-survivor father didn't object -- the blind, self-hating ass! Of course, where they go depends on their capabilities, interests, and scholarship money, but I still have a little longer to discover where that will lead us! ;-)

This is a battle that needs to be fought, and David Horowitz is uniquely qualified to do so. I look forward to seeing it play out.

#6 Whatever 'sins' he committed in the past, David Horowitz has long since atoned for them. He should get a medal. He's been assaulted, beaten, egged, pied, spit on, cursed and had just about every vile thing imaginable thrown at him---human excrement, you name it -- by American students, in American Universities. Why? For daring to express a different view than the moonbat professors. TW, I already scratched off more than 80% of the schools my daughter was considering because of their vile anti-Americanism.

#7 How's he wrong, DepotGuy?

RC, maybe Beinin actually suffers from the psychosis Horowitz alleges? I dont know enough about Beinin or the affliction commonly referred to as a Self-hating Jew to say one way or the other. But its pretty much a given that anybody that Horowitz debates will arrogantly be branded as anti-Semitic or a self-hating Jew. (Even when simply discussing policy issues.) Besides, I think most of his writing is filled with adolescent innuendos and speculation stated as fact supported by sloppy research. Just my opinion.

#8 DG - I disagree. He would be a pariah and broke if his statements were unprovable slander.

Just as we Christians (and my own Catholic Churches'Jesuit branches are a good example, particularly the "social justice" concerns) have self-loathing "progressives" that defy all tenets of their religion, there are "self-hating Jews" who despise all methods and manners by which Israeli Jews try to postpone their violent deaths at the hands of hateful Arabs, Islamists, NeoNazis, etc.

#9 DG - I disagree. He would be a pariah and broke if his statements were unprovable slander.

Damndidnt think a little pot-shot across the bow would illicit this banter. But let me clear. I agree with some of Horowitzs opinions but I dont care for his style. He has a habit of refuting an opposing opinion by attacking the messenger and not the message. One particular tactic he seems fond of is alleging guilt by omission and then drawing conclusions based on speculation of motives. He then he assigns a label to his opponent based on said speculation. It works great on the talk-shows where everybody shouts to be heard, but in reality, its simply another hollow argument. Again, just my opinionbut Im sure Horowitz would dismiss it as the rant of another bigot.

#10 DepotGuy is right. No matter how much I may agree with the guy, I've heard Horowitz on the radio debating various commies and he comes off as a loudmouthed, bullying idiot. Our side could do a lot better. Hell, our side NEEDS to do a lot better on the PR front. Thats no joke.
