Sorry, but I just had a very very cursory google about David Horowitz, and he really doesn't seem to be innocent of the charge. Most informative:

He seems to be very capable of inexplicably branding people racist himself.
Of course, you could say that this is all a liberal/leftist conspiracy or something.

I don't think it is a very good example to bring up.... at least for someone you want to defend.

Hoping this is the last of this thread, but I just wanted to dispel this nonsense. I checked the link you posted. Even though Media Matters is not a place I would generally trust for good, scholarly analysis, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry to say that, in particular (but certaintly not limit to), their 'catalogued' instances of David Horowitz' racism was done in almost the precise same manner as the anonymous smearers in this thread. Unfortunately for MM, they actually provided links, probably in the hopes that most people wouldn't actually go and read what was on the other end of them. I did, and their arguments don't hold up.

Sorry, but it most certainly was a good example to bring up.

By the way, I didn't catch your name.
