Hmm. Seems as if this "nasty, vicious little Republican hate tome" has quite a few readers spun up. But I'm confused - if this book is indeed "immoral, lying trash", then doesn't that imply that those who would describe it as such agree that academic activism would be a dangerous influence, just that they don't believe it exists? If, on the other hand, they're sympathetic to the proposition that "being an activist is a necessary prerequisite" for the professoriate (quoting from the book), then Horowitz is demonstrably not lying.
