Like Horowitz, I was there at the beginning, but at UBC in Vancouver.
At that time, the commies were divided into the CP(Moscow alligned) and Trotskyite groups of various kinds. 'Hands Off Cuba' was at war with 'Fair Play For Cuba'. ;^)
By the mid-60s, the Maoists were a force, along with the less coherent manifestations of the Marxist 'New Left'.
Through seven years of university life, in which the discourse was entirely leftist, students such as myself learned of alternative views only through reading outside of the curriculum.
It is with some satisfaction that I hear the squealing of the Established Leftist Pigs upon being stuck by reality.
Go, Horowitz! ;^)
Horowitz is doing a good job shaking up the colleges, but I definitely fail to see eye-to-eye with him:
"I have publicly and more than once taken on Gary Bauer specifically and members of the Christian right who are at war with gays (you can look up the articles in my archives) and for ten years I have been saying that Randall Terry reminds of everything I detest in the left, in particular its arrogance and self-righteousness and disregard for other people’s rights."
Kind of a Boortz-light, I guess. And he sure tried to hatchet Coulter, even to the point of defending Truman as an 'anti-communist'.

Ironically, "Treason" outed Truman, who was used by the Soviets.
I think Horowitz miscalculated that time, thinking that Coulter would be taken down by the left. Thank God that did not happen.
