Someone just emailed me about the rightwing tendencies of this guy, who
I had never heard of before. This bears out his questionable credentials:

The problem for me is that some real shits have denounced Assad along
the lines of the Glavin article I forwarded. They are the kind of people
who signed the Euston Manifesto in the early 2000s.
Maybe there would be less of an impetus to forward what they write to
the list if there wasn't such a blizzard of lies supporting Assad, the
latest coming from Verso author Max Blumenthal who just returned from a
Syria junket with other leftists. When two of the most well-known
magazines on the left, New Left Review and Monthly Review, are in
Assad's camp, Glavin's politics don't seen 1/1000th as bad as the
Assadist left. At least on this question.
