Horowitz, to his discredit, is careless with the facts - but then, as a propagandist, he is not in the business of truth or accuracy.

 Salon.com News | Who's afraid of the big, bad Horowitz?
Lost in the ruckus over the reparations ad is the fact that Salon ran a version of it as Horowitz's biweekly column last June.
Plus, in the Horowitz fracas, the campus journalists and activists being interviewed seem overmatched by the adults piling on, and I've been a little reluctant to join the fray.
The reaction to Horowitz's ad proves at least one of the points he makes in it: A morbid attraction to the role of victim, and an unhealthy fear of disagreeable ideas, are all too common in campus politics, and they seem to afflict left-liberal students of color disproportionately.

As I’ve said to you before, David, in one respect the antiwar left has been pretty clearly vindicated on the subject of Vietnam: that war was not, after all, crucial for U.S. national security or to the fate of the free world.
David, you’d be wise to be more circumspect about this; you might wind up being disappointed by your new Shi’ite friends.
But what David refuses to acknowledge here is that I have criticized Castro again and again—not only in the 1990s, but much more recently, when, at the outset of Gulf War II, Fidel imprisoned 80 dissenters and executed three people who’d tried to hijack a ferry to the US.
