Breaking: David Horowitz has Died
The Liberty Daily ^ | 4/29/2025

Posted on 04/29/2025 3:50:25 PM PDT by Beave Meister

On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very saddened to announce the passing of the Center’s founder, David Horowitz. After a lengthy battle with cancer, David passed yesterday at the age of 86.

The Freedom Center’s founder and guiding force was a relentless conservative warrior who survived a previous brush with death (chronicled in his book Mortality and Faith), confrontations with the Black Panthers, campus radicals, government investigations, death threats, and hate campaigns, some led by his former friends and allies, without ever considering giving up or letting up. Nothing short of the end that comes for us all could silence his voice. He continued writing, working, and steering the Center to the very last; his final article, “The Biggest Lie of All,” appeared earlier this month.

Although he was a giant in the conservative liberty movement for over 40 years, David was raised a Marxist and was one of the leading intellectuals of the New Left movement at Berkeley in the 1960’s. But David, along with his writing partner and Freedom Center co-founder Peter Collier, eventually had a political epiphany and joined the side of freedom in the early 1980‘s. They committed the second half of their lives and work warning Americans of the dangers of the Progressives whose intellectual roots and totalitarian aims they understood better than many Leftists themselves.

Very sad indeed.

Once he managed to wake up and stop believing in how he was programed to believe, by his wretched, STINKING COMMIE parents, he was a true treasure, exposing the horrors of "the other side", which he knew only too well.

That is a different David Horowitz. I had them confused for a long time too.

RIP. I learned a lot from his and Peter Collier's Destructive Generation.

That might be his best; at least it’s up there.

This man made a difference, in my life and in the lives of many others. One of my cherished possessions is a copy of his book “The Art of Political War” that he signed and inscribed, “To a fellow practitioner of the art.”

Rest in peace, David.

He left his mark and did some good.

I’m glad I ever found his wisdom to listen to.

I’m glad he was led away from his upbringing.

God bless.

When real historians compose the truth, David Horowitz will be be celebrated, lauded as one of the great ones.

We are old enough now to celebrate his life, his accomplishments, and his incredible efforts to save the West.

Prayers Up for his family. He is in a better place, and left us with tools to defeat The Dark Side.

Some may remember that he was a registered FR commenter but finally gave up on our site because he was endlessly harassed as a Neo-con when he would comment. Like Mark Levin or even Tony Snow there are enough a-holes to make public posters leave.
