 Apology to Clay for calling him a state dept socialist. This was out of

That's a good start

 and it not accurate (that positions are congruent with this or
 that Imperialist position doesn't make one a state dept socialist)

No it wouldn't, but you are still careless in calling his words congruent
with [an] Imperialist position. Saying which missile hit which plane is
not a position, it is just an assessment of fact. If you count every
simple fact (say, starting with the multiplication table) then I guess you
could say that I agree with over 99% of imperialist positions.

And finally:

 Clay, who has become the point man for the Russia is Evil, Ukraine Good
 crowd of state dept type socialists here

The apology to Clay was insufficient because an entire crowd was
labelled state dept type socialists. That might well include me and the
majority of this list. And furthermore, who among us exactly says Russia
is Evil, Ukraine Good? AFAIK everyone on this list agrees that Ukraine is
a capitalist country and people don't come to this list if they think
capitalist countries are good.

this is not about Clay. So I'm not going to comment on Clay but on the
issues.I don't want to debate here if Clay sounds like he's mimicking
everything that comes out Kiev or lines up with the State Dept. (and even
if he does or doesn't *I don't care*, it's not relevant). It's not relevant
to examining the issue of the downed airliner, in fact it's a fucking
distraction which is the unstated reason I apologized. 'nuff said.
