[Marxism] NYT: Pope Speaks Up for Immigrants (forwarded from ISN)

["Mike Friedman" <mikedf@xxxxxxxx>]

Of course, worthless critic's primary mission is simply to troll. He's
always ruthless when it comes to flapping his lips in pouting
self-righteousness at activists. But, when it comes to actually doing
something, like Teresa Gutierrez does, he doesn't have a clue. Activists
are obligated to make use of EVERY space created for us by the powers that
be. But, worthless, without a political bone in his body, wouldn't
understand that. What's more, poo-pooing these opportunities, he allows
the rulers to get away scott-free as the "defenders" of democracy. For
worthless, it would be "opportunistic" of us to use ruling class
condemnations of the war in Iraq, Gore's denunciations of global warming,
etc. Worthless and clueless. The fruit of unprincipled baiting and
trolling in lieu of politics.


>>  "...That's big news," said Teresa Gutierrez, a coordinator for the May
>>  1st Coalition for Immigrant and Workers Rights. "Any decent comment
>>  about the reality of what's really happening to immigration in the
>>  United States coming from such a prestigious person as the pope is
>>  extremely helpful."

> But to make use the Pope's words would be also opportunistic for
> leftists. Especially of a conservative pope.
