Why does Horowitz continue to give this ultra-liberal Dem party whore a forum?

I noticed that myself, and I don't have a ready explanation for it.

My theory is that it's because Horowitz isn't really conservative.

Now wait a minute--I don't mean that the way Birchites and "palaeos" mean it when they say someone "isn't really conservative" (by which they mean someone is pro-Israel). The "palaeos" literally believe anyone, no matter how reactionary in his worldview, who supports Israel is a "neocon" because they literally believe that Israel is the "vatican" of the "new world order." In other words, they're anti-Semites. The real thing.

When I say that Horowitz isn't really a conservative, I mean that Horowitz isn't really a conservative. He's a former red diaper baby who because of his fundamental decency and rejection of hypocrisy rejected identification with the Far Left and thus calls himself a conservative, but he's really more of a pro-Israel secular libertarian. He's stated before that he's pro-"gay rights," though he doesn't believe in quotas or any of the "politically correct" stuff about "gays." He just wants them to have equal rights exactly as he wants white chr*stian males to have equal rights. He's consistent and fundamentally decent, but also fundamentally secular. I sincerely hope he will come around to HaShem and the Torah, his eternal heritage. Can you imagine what an addition he would be?

Now--not to be misunderstood I must add that Horowitz's carrying Dershowitz is not one bit worse than Human Events still carrying Pat Buchanan. Considering several of his positions are the exact opposites of everyone else there, that simply makes no sense at all. Either it's a case of "fair mindedness" taken to extremes (like David does with Dersh) or there may still be an anti-Semitic cabal left over there from the Bad Old Days when the conservative movement (unknown to Biblical Fundamentalists like myself) were solidly and almost totally anti-Israel (because they agreed with the Dershowitz's that Israel was the Vietcong of the Middle East).

Let Dersh and Buck go elsewhere to spew their trash than decent conservative publications and web sites.
