Jonathan Schwarz has dug up a photo of David Horowitz from a 1986 profile in Mother Jones that you absolutely must look at. The shot kind of defies description. What I can tell you is that Horowitz is wearing Johnny Depp-in-Blow type shades and a “Support Afghan Freedom Fighters” ringer-T featuring a turbaned dude with an AK-47. What happened with that whole thing, anyways?

Mother Jones whose readers generally supported or made apologies for the Soviet rape of Afghanistan did a story on me. The story was about why I was no longer a leftist. I agreed to pose for a photograph for the story and wore my support the freedom fighters in Afghanistan to make the point that the left then and historically supported communist tyrannies, which is why I am no longer a leftist.
