[lbo-talk] Barbara Epstein & MR

[Carrol Cox]

If she had to resign to make her complaint, clearly it is MR as an
institution that backs the  Iran material on MRZine. That Yoshie has to
be pulled in personally so often (mostly by Doug or Lou Proyect) is
prima facie evidence that it is a personal crusade against Yoshie as a
person, not anything of political importannce that moves Doug and Lou.

Of course, nothing that any U.S. citizen has to say about Iran, either
way, is of any political importance -- the only way that u.s. opinion
could be relevant to conditions in Iran is by supporting a u.s. invasion
or CIA subversion of the Iranian regime. Do u.s. leftists really desire
that? If they don't they should shut up on Iran and turn their attention
to the repressive regimes that the u.s. supports, not one that is under
attack from all the mainstream media.
