No idea he was that old.
RIP

On one hand, I’m happy he was able to break free from his hard-core commie indoctrinated upbringing and spread the red-pilled word to others.

on the other hand, the damage done from the 1960’s liberals is the same damage that has been destroying the USA since then. And he was a very big part of that 1960’s left.

I think DJT should use this opportunity to memorialize him in a tweet while trolling the left—If Mr. Horovitz was able to break free from his leftist upbringing and see the light, then so can many of my detractors can too. There’s still plenty of room on the MAGA train. Don’t be afraid. Now is the time to repudiate the leftist democrats destroying this beautiful country. Come aboard now before it’s too late!!!!

MAGA

HOORAY Robert Spencer! Condolences to family and friends of David Horowitz. R.I.P., sir.

[Obadiah]

The man was a towering intellect and a trailblazer.

Back in the 1990s and 2000s, Horowitz was a frequent guest on many radio talk shows. He was an early anti-woke voice who opened the eyes of many.

RIP and well done, David.

I enjoyed reading Horowitz’s autobiography, Radical Son.

The world will not soon see a man like David Horowitz again.

If not, that will be our great loss - the world needs more men like him. I read stuff by Horowitz back in the '90s and heard interviews by him - as a former associate of Black Panthers and other 60s radicals he understood the Left's motivations and tactics far better than most of today's left-wingers understand themselves.

I enjoyed reading his articles back in the 1990s. I later wrote him off after he became a war hawk apologist for the GWB administration in the early 2000s.

David Horowitz severely harmed our Vietnam veterans. He was a radical marxist throughout the Vietnam, era. Good that he came to his senses, but was was stupid enough to believe in that crap in the first place.

[Uncle Miltie]

I met him, and have a signed copy of his first major book.

[Uncle Miltie]

his 1996 memoir Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey.

Horowitz’s parents were deeply immersed in the American communist movement. It sometimes requires greater character and a greater degree of intellect to break away from a belief system in which you were raised and surrounded from birth.

[silverleaf]

I appreciated his writing. Great analyst.

[Carriage Hill]

Me neither.
I’ve read his articles for a long time.
RIP.

Rest In Peace, David.

Yes, it is hard to turn away from childhood indoctrinations, and he deserves credit for the decades he spent atoning for his initial beliefs.

[Bon of Babble]

Very sad news! But I know David Horowitz had been battling cancer for many years - and made it to 86.

“Radical Son” is my favorite of his books, it tells of his journey from hard-core New York and Berkeley Communist to staunch Conservative and friend of Newt Gingrich.

His voice will be missed.

.... I think DJT should use this opportunity to memorialize him...

Excellent Idea
