[lbo-talk] Graber on consensus

[123hop at comcast.net]

I have been corresponding with David for a few months now. I forwarded Carrol's encomium to cheer him up because he has paid a dear price for his association with OWS & for the Debt book. He cannot get a job in the U.S.; he cannot get grants; and other more personal stuff I will leave out.

He thanked me for forwarding Carol's post but added "It wasn't just me you know...."

He has never, in any public or private discussion I have read, claimed to be the flame of anything, and he has consistently spoken highly and patiently of all the people he worked with in Occupy. He has clearly been the target of extensive vilification, both from the left and the right. In particular, he seems to have been Brad De Long's punching bag for well over a year now.

I think the record would be more mixed than that.
