[lbo-talk] LBO Tiff goes Viral on Counterpunch

[robert wood]

The problem here is that they attack the ISO, who have been fairly good
about the troubles within the SWP, and by most accounts have been fairly
accountable in regards to the issues of sexual violence.  I'm not really a
huge fan of the organization, but this strikes me as unfair, and really
just a petty response to the largely justified critical article written by
the org.
