Louis Proyect asks: "How is BAR "campaigning" for Tulsi Gabbard by extending the courtesy to Danny Haiphong to express his POV? Like Counterpunch, BAR is not a typically "democratic centralist" outfit dispensing a line. Furthermore, Bruce Dixon and Glen Ford are involved with the Green Party and I have seen no evidence that they are for Gabbard." It's not a matter of being "democratic centralist". BAR has a definite editorial policy as should any political group/publication. In the absence of any article differing from this one, and given that this article fits perfectly with BAR's openly pro-Assad position, I think it's fair to say that this is their position. As for Haiphong himself, he is a really dishonest and demagogic character and the fact of his close association with BAR does not put them in a positive light.
