Unintentional Humour from David Horowitz

After The Poor Man mis-characterized David Horowitz as a former Maoist (a mistake since corrected), Horowitz goes on a tirade in which, among other things, he asserts that only conservatives are allowed to compare people they do not like to Hitler. Among the things that Horowitz asserts:
"Leftists are religious fanatics who believe they are going to change the world. Therefore they look on their political opponents as evil and treat them accordingly. Conservatives are willing to give their opponents the benefit of the doubt (often far too generously) and when they make mistakes in characterizing individuals, they are ready and willing to correct them."

Oh really, what a splendid generalization. Thank you for that set-up, David, here's the punchline:

And if that didn't do it, here's Michael Savage:

Great examples of striving for really accurate characterization there.
