My father was in Vietnam that year, and again in 1971-72.
Horowitz’s point was that what he calls “neo-Communists,” such as Tom Hayden, took over leadership of the Democrat party at that time. Obama is from the same red-diaper lineage.
Wow. I hope he made it back to you. The guys who went to VN got the short end of the stick in so many ways. I hope he's not bitter about it, though Heaven knows he has a right to be.

Of course, no disagreement there. Except look what their dance with reality has turned them into. Crazy old dingbats like Pelosi, bottom-feeder mouth-breathers like Reid and Schumer. Crooks like the Clintons. Nutcases like Alan Grayson.
Not quite what Tom Hayden and Bernardine Dohrn had in mind, I'm guessing. Not quite what Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins vaporized themselves for.

Horowitz is correct.
