David Joel Horowitz (born January 10, 1939) is an American conservative writer, and activist. The son of two life-long members of the Communist Party and once a prominent supporter of Marxism as well as a member of the New Left in the 1960s, Horowitz later rejected Leftism and is now a prominent advocate for right-wing causes. He is a founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (formerly the Center for the Study of Popular Culture), and has served as president of that organization for many years. He is the editor of the conservative website FrontPage Magazine, and his writings can also be read on prominent news sites and publications, including the conservative magazine NewsMax.^[1] He founded the activist group Students for Academic Freedom and is affiliated with Campus Watch.

Early life and career

David Horowitz was born in 1939 to a Jewish family in Forest Hills, a neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens. His parents, Phil and Blanche Horowitz, were school teachers in nearby Sunnyside Gardens. Horowitz attended Columbia University, receiving a BA in 1959 with a major in English, and later the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a master's degree in English literature.

His parents were long-standing members of the Communist Party. While still identifying as a Marxist, Horowitz, along with many other left wing figures of his generation, sought to distance himself from the Soviet Union. Horowitz was employed during the 1960s as a political aide to Bertrand Russell.^[2] Horowitz at this time was a close friend and associate of Marxist historian Isaac Deutscher. Horowitz wrote a biography of Deutscher in 1971.^[3] The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States. ... Marxism is both the theory and the political practice (that is, the praxis) derived from the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. ... Left wing redirects here. ...

After returning to the U.S. in 1968 Horowitz wrote several books that were influential in New Left critiques of American society and particularly its foreign policy, including The Free World Colossus: A Critique of American Foreign Policy in the Cold War. Horowitz was an editor at the influential New Left magazine, Ramparts.

Bush, see Foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration. ... Ramparts was a American political and literary magazine which appeared between 1962 and 1975. ...

Horowitz was a confidant of Black Panthers leader Huey P. Newton, and provided legal and financial assistance to the black revolutionary organization. He would later cite experiences with his involvement in the Panthers as the primary catalyst for reassessing his views. In December 1974, his close friend Betty Van Patter, a bookkeeper for the Panthers, was murdered.^[4] While the case officially went unsolved, Horowitz has maintained that the Panthers were responsible for her murder, which, he alleges, they committed in order to silence Van Patter from revealing the organization's financial corruption, and thereafter covered up the killing. The Black Panther Party (originally called the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary Black nationalist organization in the United States that formed in the late 1960s and grew to national prominence before falling apart due to factional rivalries stirred up by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ... Huey Newton Dr. Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989), was co-founder and inspirational leader of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, a black internationalist/racial equality organization that began in October 1966. ... Betty Van Patter came to work for the Black Panther Party as an aide to Panther leader Elaine Brown in 1974, after being introduced to the Party by David Horowitz. ...

Other events that Horowitz cites as being influential in his political realignment were the impacts of the U.S. loss in the Vietnam War on the peoples of Indochina, and particularly Cambodia, which under the leadership of the Khmer Rouge experienced mass terror and famine, leading to millions of deaths. Horowitz believes that the far left turned a blind eye to such atrocities because the ideological vision of the Communists was one which they shared. The reactions ranged from disinterest to apologia, exemplified by George Hildebrand and Gareth Porter's Cambodia: Starvation and Revolution, which rejected allegations of mass killings by the Khmer Rouge.

Along with close associate Peter Collier, Horowitz hosted a 1987 "Second Thoughts Conference" in Washington, D.C., described by liberal journalist Sidney Blumenthal in The Washington Post as his "coming out" as a supporter of the right. According to attendee Alexander Cockburn, at that conference Horowitz recounted that his communist parents had not permitted him or his sister to watch Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies and instead had required them to watch celebratory films about the Soviet Union.[6] His gradual shift to the right has been recounted in a series of memoirs and retrospectives, culminating in 1996's Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey.

Activism on the right

Growing out of their increasing "second thoughts", Horowitz and Collier committed to a new cause, opposing what they assert is a baby boomer new left status quo in academia. Peter Collier wrote that, "there was only one antidote for the new orthodoxy: Heterodoxy".^[5] In 1992, the same year as the election of President Bill Clinton, Heterodoxy magazine was founded.

Horowitz became an opponent of affirmative action policies, as well as reparations for slavery.^[6] Horowitz also supported the interventionist foreign policy associated with the "neoconservatives", a label that Horowitz rejects as a smear. FrontPageMag.com, his conservative website, carries editorials from many authors who were and are strongly supportive of the war on terror and the war in Iraq. However, along with many Republican opponents of the Clinton Administration^[7] Horowitz opposed American intervention in the Kosovo War, arguing that it was unnecessary and harmful to U.S. interests.^[8] Manifestations Slavery Racial profiling Lynching Hate speech Hate crime Genocide (examples) Ethnocide Ethnic cleansing Pogrom Race war Religious persecution Blood libel Paternalism Police brutality Movements Policies Discriminatory Race / Religion / Sex segregation Apartheid Redlining Internment Ethnocracy Anti-discriminatory Affirmative action in the United States Emancipation Civil rights Desegregation Integration Equal opportunity...

Horowitz purchased, or attempted to purchase, advertising space in school publications in order to get his views and arguments across. Many of these offers were refused and at some schools papers which carried the ads were stolen or destroyed.^[6][10][11]

In 2004 Horowitz launched Discover the Networks, a conservative watchdog project that monitors funding for, and various ties among, individuals and organizations supportive of leftist causes. Part of the motivation for Discover the Networks is Horowitz's view that leftist individuals and groups provide support, intentionally or not, for Islamic terrorism, and thus require ongoing scrutiny. This theme is explored in Horowitz's 2004 book, Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left. Discover the Networks is a research project that studies the U.S. political left wing. ...

An agnostic, Horowitz has rejected what he sees as the intolerance of some Christian conservatives towards homosexuals. While Horowitz disagrees with gay marriage, he believes homosexuals have a fundamental right to privacy and that the term "homosexual agenda", common among right-wing pundits, is an "intolerant" one. He criticized them for accepting the claims of the Democratic Party that it represents homosexual's interests, noting that 30% of homosexuals voted for George W. Bush in 2000, more than did blacks, Hispanics, or Jews. ^[12] Agnosticism (Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge; after Gnosticism) is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities, or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently unknowable due to...

Academic Bill of Rights

The issue of "political abuse" of the university is currently Horowitz's main focus. He, Eli Lehrer, and Andrew Jones published a study entitled "Political Bias in the Administrations and Faculties of 32 Elite Colleges and Universities" (2004). The overall ratio of Democrats to Republicans they were able to identify at the 32 schools was more than 10 to 1 (1,397 Democrats, 134 Republicans, 1891 unidentified). With regard to administrators, they reported that they could find only 3 Republican administrators in the entire Ivy League. [7][8][9] The Bruin Alumni Association is a conservative group for alumni of University of California, Los Angeles. ...

Horowitz's book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America (2006), criticizes individual professors for their professorial conduct. Much of his criticism is aimed at those who are critical of Israel. Horowitz accuses these professors of engaging in indoctrination rather than a disinterested pursuit of knowledge.^[13]

Horowitz and others promote his Academic Bill of Rights (ABR), an eight-point guide that seeks to eliminate political bias in university hiring and grading. Horowitz says that bias in universities amounts to indoctrination, and charges that conservatives and particularly Republicans are systematically excluded from faculties, citing statistical studies on faculty party affiliation.^[14] Critics of the proposed policy, such as Stanley Fish, have argued that "academic diversity", as Horowitz describes it, is not a legitimate academic value, and that no endorsement of "diversity" can be absolute.^[15] This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

In 2004 a version of the ABR was adopted by the Georgia General Assembly on a 41-5 vote.[10][11]

In Pennsylvania the Republican-controlled House of Representatives created a special legislative committee to investigate the state of academic freedom and whether students who hold unpopular views need more protection. In November 2006 it reported that it couldn’t find evidence of problems with students’ rights.^{[16][17][18][19][20][21]} This article is about the U.S. State. ...

Criticism

Muslim Student Association

On April 14 2008, the David Horowitz Freedom Center ran an ad in The Daily Nexus, the University of California Santa Barbara school newspaper that stated, "the MSA is a radical political group that was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the godfather of Al Qaeda and Hamas, to bring the jihad into the heart of American higher education."^[22] The Santa Barbara Chapter of the Muslim Student Association's president gave a statement that ran the next day saying, “The underlying [message] is an ambiguous and perceived threat of a UCSB group being a terrorist organization. The ad is not only hurtful but threatening and could incite violence on campus. As a Muslim organization we should be concerned for students and the entire community. It is frightening and upsetting.” David Horowitz responded in another article by arguing that UCSB's MSA denied that MSA is acting as a support for the jihad network, but, at the same time, he refuses to condemn the genocidal incitements and actions of Hamas and Iran" because MSA refused to sign a petition created by Horowitz himself.^[23] The Muslim Student Association (MSA) is a group dedicated, by its own description, to Islamic societies on college campuses in Canada and the United States for the good of Muslim students. ... The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is a coeducational public university located on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara County, California. ...

Academia

Some stories Horowitz has used as evidence that U.S. colleges and universities are bastions of liberal indoctrination have been disputed.^[24] For example, Horowitz told the story of a University of Northern Colorado student who received a failing grade on a final exam for refusing to write an essay arguing that George W. Bush is a war criminal.^[25][26] A spokeswoman for the university said that the test question was not as described by Horowitz and that there were non-political reasons for the grade, which was not an F.^[27] Horowitz responded that the student had indeed received an "F" on the exam but had appealed her grade on the course and been awarded a "B", and that the questions as supplied by UNC were evidence of indoctrination, not education, as claimed.^[28][29] University of Northern Colorado (Northern Colorado) is a baccalaureate (arts, sciences, humanities, business, human sciences, and education), graduate (primarily in the field of education), and research university located in Greeley, Colorado, USA. It has a 2006 enrollment of 13,775 students. ... In the context of war, a war crime is a punishable offense under International Law, for violations of the laws of war by any person or persons, military or civilian. ...

Horowitz also claimed that a Pennsylvania State University biology professor showed his students the film Fahrenheit 9/11 just before the 2004 election in an attempt to influence their votes.^[30][31] Horowitz later acknowledged that he had not been able to confirm this story.^[32][33] This article is about the state-related university. ... Fahrenheit 9/11 is a controversial, award-winning documentary film by American left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore which presents a critical look at the presidency of George W. Bush, the War on Terrorism, and its coverage in the American news media. ... The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, 2004. ...

Finally, Horowitz has referred to the case of a student named Ahmad al-Qloushi, whose professor allegedly responded to an "irrational[ly]" "pro-American" essay by failing him and threatening to visit the Dean of International Admissions (who had the power to take away student visas) to make sure he received regular psychological treatment.^[34][35] His professor admits suggesting al-Qloushi visit a counselor, but for anxiety resulting from events that had happened to al-Qloushi in Kuwait 10 years before rather than for his politics, and denies mentioning the Dean.^{[36][37][38][39]}

Horowitz has also come under fire for material in his books, particularly The Professors.^[40][41] For example, the liberal group Media Matters for America claims that only 48 of the 100 (not 101) professors listed were criticized for in-class behavior and activities,^[42] despite Horowitz's claim that he makes "a very clear distinction between what's done in the classroom" and "what professors say as citizens."^[43] The group Free Exchange on Campus issued a 50-page report in May of 2006 in which they take issue with many of Horowitz's assertions in the book and describe what they see as factual errors, unsubstantiated assertions, and quotations which appear to be either misquoted or taken out of context.^[44][45][46] Screenshot from Media Matters for America (Jan 6, 2006) Media Matters for America (or MMfA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2004 by journalist and author David Brock. ...

Jacob Laksin has since issued a lengthy, three-part response to this report on FrontPageMag.com.^{[47][48][49][50]} which, among other things, claims that Free Exchange on Campus misrepresents itself as being "disinterested observers". According to Laskin, "The groups comprising the Free Exchange coalition are chiefly distinguished by their partisan commitment to left-wing political causes and their support for the politicized and one-sided academic status quo." Laskin cites member organizations, Campus Progress (which Laskin claims is funded by George Soros), the American Civil Liberties Union and People for the American Way as examples. Laskin also claims the report "misrepresents and distorts the arguments of The Professors in order to attack the book and its author, and is not above fabricating evidence to make its case," and that while the report does identify some errors in Horowitz's book, they are trivial and "in no way affect the substantive arguments of the book or the conclusions drawn in the individual profiles of the professors included."^[51] The Center for American Progress is a progressive think tank led and created by John Podesta, a former chief of staff to Bill Clinton. ...

Allegations of bigotry

Chip Berlet, writing for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), identified Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture as one of 17 "right-wing foundations and think tanks support[ing] efforts to make bigoted and discredited ideas respectable". Berlet accused Horowitz of blaming slavery on "'black Africans … abetted by dark-skinned Arabs'" and of "attack[ing] minority 'demands for special treatment' as 'only necessary because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others,' rejecting the idea that they could be the victims of lingering racism."^[52] Responding with an open letter to Morris Dees, president of the SPLC, Horowitz stated that his reminder that the slaves transported to America were bought from African and Arab slavers was a response to demands that only whites pay blacks reparations, not to hold Africans and Arabs solely responsible for slavery, and that the statement that he had denied lingering racism was "a calculated and carefully constructed lie." The letter said that Berlet's work was "so tendentious, so filled with transparent misrepresentations and smears that if you continue to post the report you will create for your Southern Poverty Law Center a well-earned reputation as a hate group itself."^[53] The SPLC refused,[12] and subsequent critical pieces on Berlet and the SPLC have been featured on Horowitz's website and personal blog.^[54][55] John Foster Chip Berlet (born November 22, 1949) is an American photographer and researcher specializing in the study of right-wing movements in the United States, particularly the religious right, white supremacists, homophobic groups, and paramilitary organizations. ...

Tim Wise, self-described "anti-racist essayist, lecturer and activist" criticized^[56] Horowitz in the left-wing publication, Znet for associating with alleged racists, pointing to his acceptance of funding from the Bradley Foundation, which supported the publication of The Bell Curve, as well for running a modified piece by white nationalist Jared Taylor on the media treatment of black-on-white murders. When Horowitz ran the piece, he admitted that the decision to do so would be controversial, but denied that Taylor was a racist, instead arguing that his "racialism" was an example of identity politics precipitated by an intellectual surrender to multiculturalism; Horowitz denied that he and his publication share Taylor's agenda.^[57] Tim Wise is an American anti-racist activist and writer. ...

Criticism of Ron Paul

On Glenn Beck's CNN Headline News show, Horowitz recently criticized Ron Paul's US Presidential candidacy. "I think it's very significant he (Ron Paul) chose Guy Fawkes as an image...There are plenty, unfortunately, libertarian websites which are indistinguishable from the anti-American left these days - LewRockwell.com and others like that - they are totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country."^[58] Ronald Ernest Ron Paul (b. ... For other uses, see Guido Fawkes (disambiguation). ...

In a March 5, 2007 interview in FrontPage Magazine, Horowitz stated that "Ron Paul – the only Libertarian in Congress – is a disgrace.

David Horowitz

• Liberation is no longer, and can be no longer, merely a national concern. The dimension of the struggle, as Lenin and the Bolsheviks so clearly saw, is international: its road is the socialist revolution. - from the 1969 book "Empire and Revolution".

• In the sociology of the left, including the NAACP, there cannot be a wound the black community inflicts on itself that is not ultimately the responsibility of malicious whites. - from the 1999 Salon.com article, "Guns don't kill black people, other blacks do".

• If blacks are oppressed in America, why isn't there a black exodus? - from the 1999 Salon.com article, "Guns don't kill black people, other blacks do".

• The black middle-class in America is a prosperous community that is now larger in absolute terms than the black underclass. Does its existence not suggest that economic adversity is the result of failures of individual character rather than the lingering after-effects of racial discrimination and a slave system that ceased to exist well over a century ago? - From "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks and Racist Too".

• More than ever before, for humanity to live under capitalism, is to live on borrowed time. - from the 1969 book "Empire and Revolution".

• For the continuing worldwide oppression of class, nation and race, the incalculable waste and untold misery, the unending destruction and preparation for destruction and the permanent threat to democratic order that characterize the rule of capitalism in this, its most technically advanced, most "enlightened" and most materially wealthy era now threaten human survival itself. In the age of atomic weapons and intercontinental missiles, the predatory system of imperialist rivalry and global exploitation, of military intervention and counterrevolutionary war, faces mankind with the prospect of the ultimate barbarism.- from the 1969 book "Empire and Revolution".

• Commodity fetishism is the key to the prosperity and efficiency of the capitalist economy and to the relative peace of capitalist states. It is what makes us work together.- Debate with Michael Albert 2001

• Baghdad is liberated. In the days to come let us not forget that if it were not for one man, and one man alone—George Bush—the people of Iraq would not be celebrating in the streets and pulling down Saddam's statues today... We have entered the era of a new civil war between the forces of freedom and the powers of Islamo-fascist and communist darkness, and once again the left is clearly determined to take its stand on the other side. The good news is that America is back. Our military has performed superlatively. Our leadership has stood tall. We ourselves can celebrate over this and look confidently towards what lies ahead.—FrontPageMagazine.com | April 9, 2003
