[lbo-talk] "Cadre"? Re: dalai lama in nyc

Justin:

Spare me your sanctimony. I spent years in the media activist trenches
advising and working with some pretty contemptible people, so I know the
drill (that included working with the precursors to ANSWER in 1990 during
the build-up to the first Gulf War, when many of them, during a march, would
shout, "Death to the US! Victory to Iraq!", a chant that no doubt swayed
working Americans sitting on the political fence). Save your laundry list
for a first-year poli-sci student. Been there already.

Again, work with anybody you like. If you think that massing under the
simplistic slogan "Bring the Troops Home Now," with an organizing force that
favored the Ba'athist regime in Baghdad, is the road to "peace," go for it.
I'll try to live with the shame of my absence.
