[lbo-talk] Image Restoration via Truthiness: American Media and Russia

[boddi satva]

Rayrena, you have to understand. It's sad but this happens among these
otherwise smart people every time somebody sticks a finger in
America's eye. I often find myself cheering for my countries
tormentors, but then I grow up.

The worst example, of course, was Comrade Yoshie and her love affair
with Iran and Hizbullah, but it happens every time. I remember being
barbecued by people on this list for questioning whether the victory
of Laurent Kabila in Zaire was, in fact, quite the victory for the
working class folks were cracking it up to be.

I was called faithless and capitalist for suggesting the election of
Jospin in France was probably NOT a harbinger of the Revolution.

These are good people, badly frustrated, maintaining hope in a world
that seems hopeless.
