Horowitz and Reparations. Again?

David Horowitz has been working the propaganda mill hard to counter the reparations "movement" since he gained all that notoriety from his ad flap last year. Frontpage Magazine reads, "Help me raise the $100,000 needed to fund new advertisements and distribute my booklet, Reparations and Racial Double Standards, to 300,000 students, political leaders and journalists nationwide!" Of course, he's revvin' his engines in anticipation of the big rally down in DC this weekend.

While I haven't seen Horowitz spout off yet about this specfic occasion (I'm just not looking hard enough, probably), a mountain of invective is bound to flow soon. While we all eagerly wait, let's reminisce: here's the original reparations ad (as a PDF file; HTML version here) which caused so much well-milked controversy for him. Compare and contrast with this point-by-point refutation.
