David Horowitz at UC Berkeley Feb 3

by cp
Well, I have modest mouse tickets that night, and I saw him the last time. There should be some good people watching dynamics if you can sit through this. Horowitz typically delivers an uncontroversial talk on free speech, and the crappy set of people he worked with in Berkeley during the early 1970s who murdered people.
If you read up on his history though, he is a big jerk who is incapable of non-black and white thinking. He behaves like a dry drunk. I don't have to prove this- go read for yourself

Lecture: Conservative pundit David Horowitz on academic freedom
Feb. 3, 8:15 p.m., Valley Life Sciences Building

David HorowitzAt the invitation of the Berkeley College Republicans, author and civil rights activist David Horowitz will lecture on "academic freedom." A founder of the New Left movement in the 1960s — and a Berkeley alum — Horowitz in his later years has exchanged liberal activism for conservative commentary. His current focus is on promoting his "Academic Bill of Rights", an eight-point manifesto that seeks to eliminate what he considers to be political bias in university hiring and grading. Horowitz charges that conservatives are systematically excluded from faculties and that liberal bias in universities is so widespread as to amount to indoctrination.

In 1996 Horowitz was a spokesman for the California Civil Rights Initiative, preventing government from discriminating against — or granting preferential treatment to — any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. A self-described outspoken opponent of censorship and racial preferences, Horowitz supported Ward Connerly’s Racial Privacy Initiative. He is the author of "The Politics of Bad Faith"; "The Art of Political War"; "Radical Son," his autobiography; "Uncivil Wars : The Controversy Over Reparations For Slavery"; and most recently, the pamphlet "How the Left Undermined America's Security."
