pollit and Nader

[Doug Henwood]

Nathan, I'm curious about your use of the word "elitist" to describe 
people who are critical of the leaders (and policies) of a ruling 
class party and the leaders (and policies) of unions and other 
organizations (NOW, NAACP) that are deeply tied to that party. This 
sounds like a variation on the old neocon/libertarian ploy of 
denouncing anyone critical of market values as an elitist.
