… Simply asserting facts are wrong does not make that true.

Once someone loses credibility, it’s pretty much gone. You’ll note that Horowitz doesn’t get cited the way Hitchens, Hersch, Bloom, … do. As soon as you cited Horowitz, you were instantly defending him. I don’t agree with Hitchens about the Iraq War but I have to take what he writes seriously. I didn’t agree with Bloom about his critique of American education but he had his points.

Horowitz is just a hack, a Glenn Beck for a slightly earlier generation.
