  1. It may or may not apply here, but there are a few different personality types involved in things like this. People like Horowitz have the convert's zeal, i.e. he wants to atone for his youthful radicalism by first assuming that all leftists (and even liberals!) are just like he was at the time, and then treating them as such. People like Hitchens are contrarian for its own sake, even when it makes little sense. He supported toppling the secular government in Baghdad, thus bringing about many of the evils of religion he had so often opposed! Then there are people like Putin, once a Red, now a White, but always authoritarian. (I also don't want to exaggerate, the way people portray Putin as some sort of great threat, but that's not the point.)
