Beck is saying little that Horowitz hasn’t been saying for decades now.

For whatever reason Horowitz has never struck a chord with the general public. It’s nice to see that he apparently doesn’t resent Beck’s success at popularizing his agenda.

I think you've probably noticed that Rush doesn't have a problem with Beck either, though I'm sure he disagrees with some of Beck's ideas.

That's because it is truly about what is best for the country and not about whatever glorifies David Horowitz. It's not about him...it is about America. That is the attitude of a patriot.

“It’s nice to see that he apparently doesn’t resent Beck’s success at popularizing his agenda.”

Couldn’t agree more. David Horowitz hasn’t gotten his proper due as a hero for fighting liberalism, especially in academia.

Horowitz is an intellectual and Beck is his populist counterpart. Conservatives, including Freepers, seem to have an instinctive distrust of intellectuals, especially ones with Red Diaper pasts.

I've read about everything Horowitz has written and I agree with you: he's given us a precise outline of the current administration's methods and goals. Anyone who bothers to read his 1998 "The Politics of Bad Faith" will understand exactly what Obama's puppet-handlers are up to. Unfortunately, not enough of us have bothered.

you’re right that Horowitz never stuck a chord with the genreal public — too intellectual, to brainy, too old, voice at wrong opirtch (not for me, for them).

Beck is a natural populist and DH must realize this.

David is very intellectual. He is on our local radio every week. David likes Beck because Beck is very able to appeal and teach people about how the left works.

Cut the ego stuff folks. This whole thing is much bigger than talkradio.

Horowitz and Thomas Sowell are two great conservative thinkers and writers who suffer from a similar affliction - they are poor interviews. To many ers, ahs, uhs between their insightful comments. It is almost painful to listen to them.
