[Marxism] Re: Marxism Digest, Vol 10, Issue 28: The Fourth Stooge speaks:

["DHE" <cuibono@xxxxxxxx>]

"In my humble opinion" (sic) -- I can't understand why Tony felt it necessary 
or appropriate to focus the world's attention on Ms Auer's gaffe. When I opened 
her email message and saw the quote, I just emailed her back: "Winston fucking 
CHURCHILL?" 

Of course we'd exchanged a little email previously, so I know she understood 
what I said as constructive criticism, as pulling her coat to a minor slipup, 
not as an attack. I certainly wouldn't have taken it upon myself to further 
advertise Churchill Sahib's existence. 

That said, I have to admit I'm less than impressed by the general tone of LP & 
ML's criticisms addressed to Tony. To me they seemed out of character, 
surprisingly vindictive; certainly not up to the usual standard of LP's 
contributions -- by which I've come to expect to be impressed indeed. 

If we can learn anything from this episode in a teapot, maybe it's that we can 
understand better some of the things that flowed from Nader's decision to try 
to run without the Green Party. Of course these are questions that are probably 
better addressed in some other context than an open listserve -- at least till 
after the election. They are, however, occupying my mind a great deal at the 
moment.

I would be most interested in any thoughts about, or information pertaining to 
these matters others might care to share, preferably off-list?

PS: I think she should have used the quote, but skipped the attribution. It IS 
an excellent one-liner.
