[lbo-talk] Cornel West at the Left Forum

[Janice Cox]

No, but I didn't see him in a celebrity role and I'm pretty sure, from the 
response of the crowd, others didn't either.   

Disrespect to those who stand with us and others against the ravages of 
capitalism (celebrity or not) hardly seems to fit into a solidarity framework.

What's wrong with being disrespectful? Are we supposed to revere celebrities?
