Horowitz, who has been meeting privately with Bush jr since around 1995, is
on record saying that the "only thing" he retained from his years as a
"leftist" (I thought he was a fucking academic house Marxist in the 60s
personally) is the "Leninist Principle" [his words] that the only
"principle" is winning and everything else is subordinate to that. So if
Horowitz winds up "defending" free-speech for some given "leftist" you can
conclude that either that person is not a real leftist or that a odious
tactical compromise (from the rightist perspective) is being made in the
short-run in order to promnote the strategic objective of abolish free
speech in general  (the goal of all fascists like Horowitz) in the long-run.

Horowitz's "support" for anything should never be accepted as it is like
the "support" of the nazis for those arguing that the best course for Jews
and other targeted populations is the "orderly resettlement" to the East.
