Yoshie wrote a good deal besides the "Surely some of the ..." clause,
including theremark that you do quote about political responsibility.

You have won your little rhetorical victory, and we will now admit that
Yoshie is merely one of those people who specialize in telling us the
capital of New York is Albany, that the sun rises in the east, and that
the arctic has lower temperatures than Brazil. Now what do you think the
responsibility of U.S. leftists is in respect to Cuba?
