[lbo-talk] new Marta piece & review of Liza's Wal-Mart book

[Michael Dawson]

I'm pretty shocked at the unrestrained endorsement of Churchill in the
editorial notes.  Nowhere in "Some People Push Back" does Churchill restrict
his "little Eichmanns" label to any subset of WTC workers.  Churchill made
up that lie after he got busted.  It's flat-out not there.  Yet the
editorial says it is, while arguing against misreading Churchill!  What IS
there is also stuff like a section headed "Politics of a Perpetrator
Population."  The editorial dismisses such hateful (and rather peculiar,
from a left perspective) stuff as mere "sound bites."
