I highly recommend Horowitz's book "Radical Son".

It's an autobiography and details his transition from being a committed socialist to the conservative he is today. The book covers his years with the Black Panthers and reveals what ugly and criminal people they really were.

A fellow Freeper turned me on to this book.

Like you, I'm a speed reader and I would much rather read the transcript then view the interview. If the video is 30 minutes long, I could read the interview in 5 minutes and have 25 minutes left over to read other things.

Also, most of these YouTube videos never seem to get to the point. You just want to pull the words out of their mouths and get to the meat of the matter. But I think this is how they sell their ads. I get it but I find it not a good use of my time.

I'll try to view this one though as it's David Horowitz and he's not one to mince words.

Great, though dated, interview. I think the first bleeped section was Horowitz talking about the stolen election. Not sure what the second bleeped segment was about though. Did you happen to go looking for the non-bleeped version? Where did he say it was? Anyone remember?

[SamAdams76]

Well as I stated earlier (multiple times due to a glitch) in this thread, I don't normally watch these videos. But I decided to watch this one and highly recommend it. As I thought he would, Horowitz got right down to business with no fluff or lengthy pre-amble.

Everybody should watch this video and the fact that two sections had to be beeped out (in order to be shown on big media websites) sadly underscores the point on how we are already well down the path to a fascist society.

Looks like you have to become a member to view that interview, as it does not appear in the free section.

How did he leave the left as he still supports abortion holocaust of infants?

Some are equal, some are not deserving to live.

You can slow down YouTube videos.

The idea is usually to speed it up. But you still have to listen to some idiot drone on about his channel or other crap until he finally gets to the point of the video. And you can't jump down to the meat because you have no idea where it is. Whereas a text article usually has much less useless background / unrelated blather, and i easier to skim to find the parts that actually have the information you're looking for.

Horowitz is not a Utopian of any kind.

He is a street smart realist—and is well aware of human frailties and does not believe that any political or economic system will solve all our problems.
