JD quoting the NM, http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20050620/013275.html

We aren't Republicans with their 11th commandmant, "Thou shalt not criticize a fellow Republican."

Aw, heh, I'm using that Iron(y) Broom to , "Draw Lines of Demarcation, " in that charming Leninist phrase.

Sectarianism? Look at the mote in your eye, too. Sectarianism...you saying Dissent was for LBJ's intervention in the Dominican Republic overthrowing a social democratic gov't. Their stance, if so, would have made no sense. It wasn't, they were opposed, of coarse. Theodore Draper (who wrote for The New Masses when he was CPUSA) wrote a book on the intervention, much later wrote a blurb for P. Gliesjeses book on the intervention. (Keep on meaning to read Gliesjeses book on Cuba, Castro and Africa.) Sectarianism? Another offbase attack from a Socialist Party USA cadre, Eric Chester, on Norman Thomas as CIA stooge in his book on LBJ's intervention into the Dominican Republic for Monthly Review Press.Sectarianism? The New Masses article, "Why The Bosses Love (Socialist) David Dubinsky."Sectarianism? ANSWER calling UfPJ racist and objectively social imperialist Zionists.
