[Help us preserve David’s legacy: HERE.]
In my tribute to David Horowitz, I wrote that, “in the weeks before David Horowitz’s passing, he wrote an article and finished another book. In and out of the hospital, he would call me on the phone to relay another idea for a series or another article about the Left. ”
Glancing at my voicemail, more than half of the messages are from David. In and out of hospitals, he would call with a thought, an idea for an article, a message that we needed to hammer home.
When David stopped doing personal appearances and interviews, he seemed to vanish from the scene. His output of articles seemed to diminish, but he kept on working. His last article appeared earlier this month, he had finished a new book and many of the articles by other writers, including mine, that appeared on Front Page Magazine, were really proposed by David.
David Horowitz refused to have his name on articles unless he felt he had contributed enough to them, but you have seen more of his writing and will go on seeing it even if doesn’t have his name on it.
One of those, an article he initially proposed that was to be titled Fifth Column, that he then retitled, ‘The Enemy We Face’ will be published later this week. The article was David’s idea. We worked on it on and off as his health allowed. Eventually I suggested pausing until he felt better. David won’t finish working on that particular article, but it’s part of his message and it carries his voice forward.
David’s work is all over the site even when his name isn’t on it.
Warning us of the Plans of the Globalists and the Left just like McCarthy did and its time to Heed his warnings
Every generation needs an intelligible voice speaking with intelligent reason to help ameliorate the shouts and screams of the immodest and irrational. Mr. David Horowitz was such a voice, and that his clear-eyed writing spanned a couple of generations is something for which we can be thankful. Rest in peace, Mr. David Horowitz. “Front Page” will hopefully continue to offer articles of solid and sober reason against the incontinent, screeching wails of extremists.
I hope that quote of his on the masthead never comes down. I use it quite often.
A few times in school I picked up a copy of Ramparts to see what “the other side” was saying and remember David as its strongest voice. That must have been in ’72 – ’73. He came back on my radar with his book The Dangerous Generation. That must had been in the mid 80’s. I hope that name is correct — I never see it referred to in articles about David but it greatly excited me. I had the sense that things were just starting to change in the intellectual space. I don’t remember when I found Front Page Mag but it must have been in its early days (it had a different name then) but it has been a daily habit since. I remember David writing about some smart high school kid in LA(?) named Stephen that so impressed him who I read this morning might become the next National Security Adviser. I remember his fight for a Student’s Bill of Rights (I think that is what he called it) and how he could not even get the clueless conservative legislatures to support it. Such a shame. That must have been in the late 90’s — I seem to remember reading about it the mornings in a coffee shop on Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg, where I had a hobby business just to help out a friend and give me an excuse to go there. Maybe that was in the early 2000’s.
Over the years David published articles on FPM less and less but there is this new guy who has only been around for 10 years or so who has a brilliant mind and is funny and always has new little articles and maybe one or two big articles every day it seems — what’s his name? Anyway, David made a difference and I for one will miss him.
