[lbo-talk] Re: GEORGE GALLOWAY PANDERS TO THE HOMOPHOBES

[Michael Hirsch]

Doug H and Travis are right. Peter Tatchell is a Labour Party loyalist
first, last and always; any stick to beat the extra-Labour left is fair
play. And if Doug Ireland has a fault--and I like him a lot--it's his
knee-jerk contempt for third party and hard left efforts here at home. I
tend to line up with Ireland on the issues these days, too, but I don't
share his biliousness toward those to my left or his need to Trot bait. The
Socialist Workers Party in Britain may be playing with fire by aligning with
the Muslim Arab Brotherhood--and that is no given-- but we're not going to
know that by the sort of sideshow exercise that Tatchell orchestrated.
