Horowitz admonished by MSNBC host for "call[ing] guests names on the air"

Horowitz admonished by MSNBC host for "call(ing) guests names on the air" (mediamatters.org) Appearing on the March 5 edition of MSNBC News Live to discuss the suspension of Colorado high school teacher Jay Bennish, who linked President Bush and Adolf Hitler during an in-class lecture, host Contessa Brewer admonished right-wing activist David Horowitz for calling Citizens for Legitimate Government founder Michael Rectenwald -- appearing opposite Horowitz -- a "communist," "pro-terrorist," and "a menace." Brewer said: "All right. OK, here's what we're not going to do, is to call guests names on the air." From the March 5 editon of MSNBC News Live:
HOROWITZ:This teacher , in this 20-minute rant, also said that the victims of 9-11 deserved their fate. He's much in sympathy -- first of all, let me point out I explicitly said it would be just as wrong to have right-wing views inflicted in this way on high school students as these extremist left-wing views. Rectenwald -- Rectenwald believes that there's been a coup d'etat in the United States, we live under a dictatorship. His website calls for armed revolution --
RECTENWALD: That's not true.
HOROWITZ: This is -- it absolutely does --
RECTENWALD: No, it is not.
HOROWITZ: -- just go up there --
RECTENWALD: It is not true. You know, if you read LegitGov.org you'll see that we --

person, he thinks he is McCarthy.

His ass has been proven wrong already on other issues. One thing about the Repukes is that they just can't seem to figure out that once you blow your credibility, you have nothing left to say. . .but they still keep carting out the same fools over and over to showcase mouthing the same nonsense on television. Ridiculous.

Horowitz bears an odd resemblance to a commissar.

what an asshat

nt

academia

Lenin?


Or Trotsky?


I say he has more resemblance to Trotsky...

I could SWEAR I've seen this pattern of calling people "communists" right here, only our red-baiters used the more refined "Marxist" label.

If you believe in anything good for people that might cut a teeny tiny wedge into corporate profits, you're a Marxist

because of his hatred and accusations against those who oppose Israeli policies.

He became rabidly right-wing. and racist. pro-slavery and all that.

these marxist-leninists, with their trotskyite leaning, play a very ruthless, take no prisoners type game....horowitz (with peter collier) was the editor of 'ramparts' magazine during the glory years....he and collier authored 'the rockefellers' which was compulsive reading (to me) more then 30 years ago.....kristol and perle and frum and a whole slew of jewish type 'neocons' maybe are just taking advantage of ....well hillary clinton was a 'goldwater' girl when she was in college, even randi rhodes voted for reagan back in early 80's- maybe the jewish guys like ben stein and dennis miller and ron silver and alan dershowitz SAW what was going on, and UNDERSTOOD that liberalism was not going to do anything for israel when the rightwing was so hellbent...blah blah blah! the point might be that, much like coulter and rush limbah-humbug are PLAYACTING at this rightwing stuff (they do dope, hang around with crooks, are about as 'liberal' in daily life as anyone can be; meanwhile making a mint pandering to the rw cud chewers) horowitz etc still are 'communists' i betcha, but they're taking the long view...bush is destroying any hope for 'capitalism' to escape from its connection to thievery, murder, rapine, lying, perjury, treason ie from the 'vast rightwing conspiracy'...and while anti semitism might still threaten the jewish people, they can sic the aryan attack dogs (cnn/foxnews' oreilly, coulter etc) on anyone who dares raise his/her head! And when cnn/foxnews (and the forces of stupid reaction they represent) are eventually forced to moderate, horowitz etc can claim they were like noam chomsky, idea guys interested mainly in protecting israel, which they've done achieved, thank you.....
reading all that's going on the way it appears might encourage the sham......horowitz and ledeen etc aren't stupid, and yet they act like they are

in that segment.

Now, he's just a stupid fascist neocon.

Tammy

His belief is extremism, it doesn't matter what the content.

When liberalism was fashionable, that's where he was to be found. When the right-wing mastered ascendancy, he followed along.

and not an honest one at that.

both of whom used to be rather interesting guys. Now they just scream (Horowitz) and sneer (Miller) 'cause they feel they are just so much smarter than the rest of the stupid Americans. What is it with people like that? Smart liberals try to help other people without making them feel like crap. Conservatives may throw you a bone, but they expect groveling thanks just before you go away forever. If you don't give them that, they lie, smear, and spin.

he was a marxist-leninist revolutionary dreaming of being the american Stalin back when he thought he was leading the revolution from his bully-pulpet at Ramparts magazine. He was a vile totalitarian asshat then and he remains a vile totalitarian asshat. All he did was trade Stalin for Hitler.

He just swings from one extreme tyrannical position to another.

Once you realize white doesn't work, you swing to black. And vice versa.
I think it's a mental defect.

by now. It wouldnt surprise me if some pissed off Professor went off on him . His evil McCarthy tactics would warrant such an asswhoppin imo.

He would verbally abuse the employees on the air as he does now, but usually baqck then it was females. Then this Contessa came aboard and he started in with her. The other women were "in" on the joke, would TAKE it. Somehow, this one didn't get the memo. He harassed her, calling her a whatever. She said (on the air) she wasn't taking that CRAP (not a direct quote). Then she was gone off of the sl-IMUS circus, but was ON the MSrNC regular line-up. And later Timmeh (G.E.) RUSSERT scolded sl-IMUS about jerking-around the woman. I don't know how sl-IMUS survives on the air. Are there that many immature 20 yr old males who listen to the radio (and yet don't catch on to Shrub)?

seconds.

Lori Price

them everyday. One of them, the cute brunette, she cut someone off when they tried to talk over her and the one she was talking to. I love them.

:D

What the matter, David? A little sensitive in that area?
