Or maybe Horowitz is just being consistent and honest in holding Ann to the same high standards he would hold anyone else to.

My goodness, what would that be? Distorting the facts about communist penetration of the Federal government under Democratic administrations? Conceding that people like Hiss, Duggan, White etc. etc. were both trusted government officials and despicable traitors, and that Democrats from FDR to Truman to Kennedy did nothing about these traitors but in spite of contemporaneous evidence of their risk to America's security promoted these cockroaches...BUT that Joe McCarthy was still a "dangerous demagogue"? You mean those "high standards"?

I love Ann's writings,

I know, and you're a good conservative, right?

but she got sloppy with this book, and deserves the critique Horowitz gives her.

Fer SHURRR, just like Joe McCarthy got reckless and sloppy with his "Communist witch-hunting," right?

Horowitz in the long term has done Ms. Coulter, and conservatism, a favor.

Yeah, I just wish I knew what it was, now that he seems to want to undo it by attacking Christian conservatives and Ann.

Frankly your cheap smear against Horowitz is disgusting. How childish to slander and trash the man via extreme innuendo just because he says something you disagree with. He's done a tremendous amount of good work for the conservative cause, and his autobiography 'Radical Son' is an incredibly effective tool for winning liberals over to conservatism. Yeah, he's still liberal on a few social conservative issues, but judge the man on the whole of his contributions to conservatism, not a single-issue.

Frankly I am amazed that there are any conservatives left, given how some are always demanding witch trials at the first hint of a dissenting opinion.

You're right, P. Diddy---I'm guilty of "McCarthyite innuendo." But Dave Horowitz isn't. Do I pass your ideological test now?

Do you know who Horowitz is? Have you read 'Radical Son'? Horowitz is famous BECAUSE he was inside and then outed all the communist insurgents in various front groups. Why would he try and downplay the degree of Commie moles in the govt, when he has spent the second half of his life trying to out them? Who is distorting by innuendo?
