Having trouble with Horowitz as hardened street fightin' man. My impression was more "pasty intellectual". Guess I'll have to rethink.
BTW, seems I remember Nat Hentoff (who also turns up on Frontpage from time to time) saying during the impeachment that he was going to produce some evidence of the "terror campaign" Clinton was waging against various "rape victims". He seemed to feel his promise to do so made vituperation based on the (admittedly) unsubstantiated rape charges acceptable in the meanwhile.
Did he ever deliver on that promise? If not, did he ever apologize? If not, has anybody on the left called him on it? (My guess: "no" to all three.)
