Macaray may be right about Huffington. I don't follow it so I don't know (nor know that I should care; I only read posts from it when they're forwarded to lists). But this is a chance to raise something I was going to raise anyway about Macaray's host, Counterpunch, for which he writes regularly on labor. I still check Counterpunch every day because of the predominance of very insightful progressive writers. But Macaray might want to write a follow-up column taking on the reactionary wing of the site. Take (please) Paul Roberts' latest screed about how the Israel lobby rules Washington: http://counterpunch.com/roberts12302009.html Or -- and this is the one that provoked me into writing -- Charles Larson's column claiming that the source of terrorism is all those young Muslim men who can't get laid because of their backward religion: http://counterpunch.com/larson12302009.html I kid you not. That's what he said (in more refined terms). PLEASE someone tell me it's a parody that went over my head!
