[lbo-talk] Hamid Dabashi on Iran

[Michael McIntyre]

Well, if we're looking to stretch the analogy, we would have to imagine a
2000 in which:
(1) Bush was already President and had instituted a level of internal
repression harsher than that found in Cheney's wet dreams.
(2) The Republican Party was owned, lock, stock, and barrel, not by ordinary
Christian fundamentalists, but by the "Christian Reconstructionist" wing
that takes Calvin's Geneva as a model.
(3) The fraud was far more massive and overt than what occurred in Florida.

That aside, "other than the spirit and commitment"?  Doesn't anyone else
here wish that protesters had the spirit and commitment to fight the cops in
the streets for days on end and make a corrupt Supreme Court think twice
before going ahead with Bush v. Gore?

 How is this any different from those protesting Al Gore's loss in 2000
