David Horowitz shot America’s most fearless anti-communist, Diana West, in the back, but she wheeled and shot him, too!


[“David Horowitz, R.I.P.”]

David Horowitz shot America’s most fearless anti-communist, Diana West, in the back, but she wheeled and shot him, too!

The Ronald Radosh hit piece on Diana West that David Horowitz commissioned: “Diana West’s American Betrayal is McCarthy on steroids”

Diana West Returns Fire: “The Rebuttal: Part One”; and

“The Rebuttal: Part Two”

Horowitz turned on you, N.S.? Shocked, shocked, shocked.

Twelve years ago he was a total jerk regarding Diana West and her American Betrayal book. I look forward to Diana’s observations on his passing.

She led off a lengthy, detailed rebuttal with a quote lifted from Horowitz himself: “Well-designed attacks on an opponent’s credibility can overpower well-crafted messages.” No kidding.

Gates of Vienna just published a small excerpt at the link below. Its link to the Breitbart version is dead.

In a quick search, I couldn’t find the full original anywhere. Diana abandoned her old website (some provider issues), and never got the full content back online, as far as I know. The whole thing lives on as a Word document on my personal computer, 14 pages of small print.

N.S.: AT, please let me know if any of the material I dug up from West is incomplete.

Regarding the late David Horowitz and Ronald Radosh, like I always say: Never underestimate the role of pettiness in human affairs.

The link to "The Rebuttal, Part One" by Diana West doesn't work ("Page not found").

Sorry about that. I had posted the wrong link (the link within the Wayback Machine, instead of the top-of-the-page link). I've now replaced the link. Thanks for the correction.

Wow. The Big Dig. Nice finds! "N.S.: AT, please let me know if any of the material I dug up from West is incomplete." - - - - ummm... that's going to take awhile, Chief!

The NoisyRoom site has the whole thing, including
The Rebuttal: Part Three".
And repeating the link for Part Two.
And for consistency, the NoisyRoom link for Part One.

I only had Part I on my own computer. Now I have all three parts. Thank you!



Unbelievable: 47 pages in Word, in a smallish font size. Comparing apples to oranges, that's 12% of the length of my hardcover copy of "American Betrayal" (355 pages plus 30 pages of footnotes)

Oh yeah, the waybac machine. Of course.

Think of the material if we could locate the wayblac machine. o.j. found the real killer (it was schwarzeneggger) and also cracked the jon-benet ramsey case (it was morton downey jr.). carol moseley braun's secretive acts of charitable generosity in the cabrini green projects. bill cosby was set up by nixon. obama sr crowned king of kenya and bathhouse barry is heir to the throne. thomas edison stole his ideas from a brutha. sally hemings caught a disease from jefferson (not george jefferson, weezy would've killed him)

And charming home video of a cherubic and precocious five-year-old Dwayne Eduh, Eduh. Shyer in death than life and the wayblac machine has all the answers.

Wayblac machine--where blacks don't let facts get in the way of retelling black history.
