if you can tear yourself away from zizek for a moment, doug, i believe you'll see that his notes on larry pratt are not exactly the only thing ac has written on the subject of the folks who congregate around militia gatherings, and it's disingenuous in the extreme to continually invoke him as you do. the distaste and distrust for the white working class i infer from the sum of criticisms of cockburn, and more pointedly from their absence here as a subject of inquiry.
