[lbo-talk] Why do they hate Moore?

[Joseph Wanzala]

I don't think there is a 'preference' to attack people on the center and the 
left. It is matter of consistency and not giving liberals a free pass for 
doing the same things conservatives are do. These so called ultra lefties 
have a critique of the corporate state. In the main, it is conservatives who 
are the villains, however, to the extent liberals are guilty of the same 
things, they should be called on it. Of course it has become standard 
practice among progressives to focus only on the crimes of Republicans, and 
provide a steady stream of apologia for the liberal establishment.
