I don't think it's dishonest, so much as a matter of her being like a decade younger than me and not knowing all the esoterica of the postwar American left, or perhaps finding it particularly relevant. Believe it or not, kids these days do not spend their free time poring over party histories. And I don't think it's terribly flawed to critique an institution like the Nation apart from its historical context, any more than recounting the racism of, say, a university requires a blow-by-blow of how it was in the region or country as a whole. That said, you are doubtlessly correct about the influences of the CPUSA on the Nation's enthusiasm for ethnic cleansing. I once worked at a former front organization, and while the party had lost the capacity to maintain fronts long before, surviving groups were still terrified of their cranky old Zionist donors.
