[lbo-talk] Re: Said

[andie nachgeborenen]

Who's full of bullshit? Who started this war? Who
drove whom off what land and wouldn't give them back
their property? And Bard proves my point by accepting
the reductio I laida t his door: if you are powerful
enough to win, your bad cause can become just. What
piece of work you are -- a power worshipper without
honor or decency, a defender of the rights of the
"ruch men to dwell apeace in their habitations"
(Churchill) who spews bile on the grave of the most
civil and steadfast of the defenders of the rights of
the poor to trouble those rich men -- and, before you
unload more lies about Said the Professor of Terror
(Poddy, I believe) -- an unremitting opponent of
terror and violence, both Israelu and Palestimian.
unlike you,  apologist for violence, aggression, and
repression. jks
