Kelley,
are you following these wackenoids around with Mike Pugliese? I actually read Horowitz's Radical Son, last year.
What's interesting about it, is that his change of cloths from extreme left to extreme right makes no sense at all until you re-construct the entire drama along moralist lines. This is his view of why he turned himself inside out. There are other interesting threads in it too, like the love-hate relationship he had with his father. Really sicko stuff.
His story of life with the Panters is also fascinating reading, especially if you lived through the same times and places and had met some of the same people. Horowitz is a real piece of work. His own role as facilitator in some of the darker events surrounding the Panthers coupled with a kind strangely twisted inside out racism has the makings of a Dostoyevsky short story.
You can sense similar psychic twists and turns in his analysis of Hilary Clinton. He is obviously a prisoner of love and would like nothing better than to submit to some grostesquery under the stern disciplinarian gaze of Ms. Rodhim in a bad mood.
I was reminded of the scene in Lina Wertmuller's Seven Beauties, with Shirley Stoller, sitting in a chair, trossed up in an nazis officer's uniform, slapping a riding crop against her leg. Meanwhile in the shadows of a concentration camp latrine, there is Pasqualino like a dog, smooching the air and blowing kisses as he creeps slowly toward her on his hands and knees.
