While I think Horowitz is right that much of these antiwar protests are organized by radical communists and anarchists I think he overstates their propensity for real violence. Sure they caused a lot of damage at the WTO riots a couple of years ago. But I don't think smashing up some store fronts and tipping over a few cars is a major threat. David should calm down a little. He gives these jerk offs to much credit. Most are college drop out dope smokers- who read a Noam Chomsky book once. The most "succesful" among them work at Starbucks. They use their primitive leftist views to hide their own personal failures in life (they work as 28 year old bag boys becasue they "want to".)

A tiny bit "wordy" , but a helluva good read ! DH, as usual, hits the nail on the head !

I'd like to add my own comment: Every generation seems to become a bit infatuated with some version of Communism...and to wind up learning - often the hard way - that certain snakes are not meant to be handled.

This article touches but not explore the basic problem that the United States of America is a divided nation. On one side, we have those who desire the strong, healthy nation based on the principles given to us by our Founding Fathers and generally upheld by our government for many years. The best expression of this side was the Republican victory in the 1994 Congressional elections. On the other side, we have those who want to make us into a kind of fascist/communist country like what the early communists wanted the Soviet Union to be. The clearest expression of this side is Bill Clinton. Between these two sides is an apathetic public that doesn't see this struggle. They will swing from one side to another based on half-truths presented by the media.

I don't how to do it, but if we want the USA to remain the great country that we've come to know and love, we must crush the side represented by Bill Clinton and the protestors. Those who are not so corrupted that they can't be changed must be shown that what they support is evil, and they must reject it. The others must be made so unwelcome that they leave this country.
