Like most little barbs Lou considers clever, it means exactly nothing. Have you not noticed him applying it to Patrick Higgins, immediately after reading an article in which Higgins wrote of the CIA's past support for the Syrian Ba'ath and criticized its repression of Kurdish national aspirations, which he supports? Or, more likely, not reading it.
For people new to the list and a bit puzzled by this outburst, Joseph Catron is one of many Palestinian solidarity activists who tilts toward Assad. There are very many good people in this group who have made a tragic error. Somehow the reality that more Palestinians have been tortured to death in Baathist prisons than Israeli prisons does not register on them. This is what you call being intoxicated on your own ideology.
