Sorry, I can't remember everything, even if 4 years wasn't that long ago. I got it from a source I thought was reliable. I should have stuck with "force, might, beating ...

14343 [lbo-talk] Fight the taboo on the use of the word "racist" -- rank: 1000
Charles Brown wrote: >Yes, because the "Republican base" is racist. Matt Taibbi has some great stuff in the chapter in Spanking the Donkey on his career as a Rep volunteer in Florida. They had one poor guy they'd always wheel out when they needed evidence of black support. He kept telling the Florida Republicans that they could make some hay by selling the moral message to black churches, but they'd never listen. In other words, they're so racist they'd sacrifice black votes to main ...

14345 [lbo-talk] Sharon, man of peace -- rank: 1000
"Even today I am willing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, to kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and burn them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the rug from underneath the feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and there, I don't care. And I don't mind if after the job is done you put me in front of a Nuremberg Trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, ...

New York Times Magazine - March 12, 2006 Questions for Harvey C. Mansfield Of Manliness and Men Interview by DEBORAH SOLOMON Q: As a staunch neoconservative and the author of a new feminism-bashing book called "Manliness," how are you treated by your fellow government professors at Harvard? Look, if I only consorted with conservatives, I would be by myself all the time. Q: So your generally left-leaning colleagues are willing to talk to you?

I'm not sure about this, but I'll put it up anyway: Maybe we're all hoping/expecting that old modes of organization will revive themselves, like some re-run of the Flint sitdown strike 70 years later. But maybe that won't happen. Maybe the social base and organizational form of progressive politics ...

14353 [lbo-talk] Edward W. Said Legacy Lecture -- rank: 1000
[This is from the excellent Andrew Rubin, who teaches at Georgetown, and who was a student of Said's.] I hear yet another book-length attack on Edward is soon to be published. It is written by a columnist for the Wall Street Journal. The man writes under a pseudonym "ibn Warraq." Rather than responding to it directly, I thought it would be more effective to make this talk available publicly on the internet. Please feel free to distribute the link below.
