Irene,
One doesn't ask questions like yours and expect a "specific" answer if one
is taking one's meds regularly and not watching too much Left Wing TV. You
could ask me just what I object to "specifically" about a Chomsky speech or
a Ward Churchill speech and you would get the same reaction. You give a
lot away by asking such questions.
What is wrong with Lenin, specifically, or Stalin specifically? Lump Lenin,
Stalin, Chomsky, Ayers, and Dohrn together and you will be . . . generally,
if not specifically, in the same place.
Your trotting out a Left Wing commentator like Bill Moyers, or one of the
ex-military Bush Bashers isn't evidence of anything I am aware of.
If on the other hand I asked you to tell me "specifically" what you liked
about the Ayers or Dohrn speeches, what would you answer? If all you
trotted out was your "violence is bad" trope, I have answered that
"specifically" in an embarrassing number of emails. What else? Was there
anything, specifically, you didn't like about what Dhorn or Ayers said?
Lawrence
