Horowitz/ [nwanarchy]: the muppet / bin laden connection/NyTimes

[Max Sawicky]

'New Left' was a pretty diverse category, but it
certainly included some amalgams of stalin & mao,
especially the latter.  whether horowitz fit the
latter I couldn't say.  I suspect he was closer to
some mixture of mao and che guevara, much like
the Panthers.

why people spend time sniping at him I can't fathom.
he is about the lowest form of life imaginable. I'd
rather play gin rummy with Osama Bin Ladin than him.

he's the most vigorous proponent I can see of using
the present situation to fortify his business of
demonizing the left.  close enough to fascism for me.

So now to find a quote equating "new left" with stalinism/maoism.  I
really don't even know the difference, but its nice to know to peeve off
people who, say, call the sandinista's maoists.
