This article first appeared in Salon on December 6, 1999. Winston Churchill once remarked that there was nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result. Perhaps that’s why he enjoyed being a conservative — it guaranteed he would frequently be a target. Recently, I dodged my own political bullet when columnist Jack White [...]
The unspoken truth about the fighting in Gaza, which began on December 19, 2008, when Hamas rockets broke a voluntary truce, is that this is the frontline of a much larger war. This war began 30 years ago with the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is now global in scope. Its agenda is the extermination [...]
This article was first published in FrontPage Magazine on October 24, 2008. For a conservative, the hazards of speaking on a college campus are more extensive than you might think. Once the security guards are in place – as they inevitably must be – the risk of getting pied or physically attacked or having one’s [...]
From Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: As predicted here at Atlas, the vile Islamic supremacist, through massive voter fraud (isn’t always how they get their way?), has taken the electon. In my New York Times interview here, I repeated what I have said and thought for some time — that the first country that will be Islamic [...]
This article was first published in Salon on August 16, 1999. When the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced plans recently to file an injunctive class-action suit “to force [gun manufacturers] to distribute their product responsibly,” the NAACP president, Kweisi Mfume, noted that gun violence takes a disproportionately high toll among young [...]
Jesse Jackson has betrayed the civil rights movement by defending young thugs who need to be punished, not babied. You could be forgiven for thinking that I’d hired Jesse Jackson to launch his campaign in behalf of the “Decatur 6″ to promote my book “Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes.” The book is about the [...]
If you want to understand Barack Obama’s radical agendas and the socialist movement in which he spent twenty years molding himself as a leader, and preparing for his role as president and commander-in-chief, put down whatever you are reading and pick up a copy of Stanley Kurtz’s new book Radical-In-Chief. This indispensable work contains a wealth [...]
My friend Ron Radosh has once again mistaken a political hatchet job for a historical argument. Sean Wilentz’ target in this case is Glenn Beck and through him the tea party movement. To his credit Ron responds to Wilentz’ dishonest attack on the Tea Party movement with an honorable defense. But he gives credence to [...]
The principal lesson of the past century is that the free markets are good for humanity, whereas the socialist utopian vision creates nothing but misery. But guess who hasn’t learned this yet? In the end, a “millennium” is too big a concept for the imagination. A thousand years equals 30 generations, a duration that has [...]
This article was first published on May 5, 2009, here. (What follows is an edited version of a radio interview on KKMS AM 980 with David Horowitz conducted by hosts Lee Michaels and Jeff Shell. The show opened with the one of the hosts asking the following question: Tell us a little bit about yourself, because [...]
I’ve been following the Newsreal debate between Phyllis Chesler and Jamie Glazov on the one hand and Naomi Wolf, who thinks America, the most “liberated” country on the face of the earth by any — any — progressive standard (treatment of minorities, of women, of the poor, freedom of the individual), is a proto-fascist state [...]
My book The Professors has garnered a fair share of attention. There are already 3 million web references to “dangerous professors,” its subtitle. While obviously not all the Google references are to my book, a glance will show that all of the references on the first ten pages of the index are. (I leave it [...]
The big news during Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week was the disruption of my speech at Emory University by leftists who, it so happens, weren’t actually students. They were members of the Coalition United for Peace and Justice, one of the leading groups in the movement to save the Islamo-Fascist regime in Iraq from being overthrown by [...]
The following is an e-mail exchange David Horowitz had with Communications Studies Professor and self-styled Bolshevik Dana Cloud in regard to his scheduled visit to the University of Texas on April 9 to discuss the book he wrote with Jacob Laksin, One-Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America’s Top Universities are Indoctrinating Students and Undermining [...]
This article was first published here on Sept 11, 2009. Those who were surprised by the White House appointment of Van Jones – a self-styled “communist,” and a proponent of the idea that the Katrina catastrophe was caused by “white supremacy,” haven’t been paying attention to developments on the left since the fall of Communism, or [...]
From Jeff Jacoby: ORGANIZED LABOR in the United States achieved a milestone in 2009 that once would have been unthinkable: for the first time, union members working in government jobs outnumbered those working in the private sector. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the number of unionized private employees fell last year to [...]
This article was first published on September 22, 2009. Last Friday night, O’Reilly and Beck had a back-and-forth about communism (inspired by Beck’s takedown of self-proclaimed communist and presidential adviser Van Jones). O’Reilly opined (I hate that word but he likes it, so there it is) that he was afraid of Islamo-fascists but not of communists. [...]
Editor’s Note: Beginning today the NRB feature “From the Writings of David Horowitz” is getting an upgrade. From now on we’ll be republishing full-length articles from David’s archive instead of just quotes. We hope you enjoy it. This essay was first published on July 23 2002 and can be found here. Forty years ago, I [...]
My correspondent’s second question was an unexpected one, more perplexing than the first: “Do you ever feel that you are wasting your breath? Do you think that truth will ever matter? No matter what you prove or disprove, in the end the truth will remain in the shadows of what people want to hear and [...]
Five years ago, I published Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, to explain how social justice leftists could warm up to Islamo-fascists and to warn Americans that they had a fifth column in their midst. Most of these American radicals will function as apologists and enablers of Islamo-fascists but some will actively collaborate [...]
