Well, well. Here we go again. Yet another CounterPunch gatekeeper, Eric Draitser, has hopped on the anti-Caity bandwagon:
It’s chock-full of the usual fallacies, of course, so I won’t bother to list them all here. What really caught my eye this time was Draitser’s repeated use of the term “red-brown alliance” to smear Caity’s strategy. ‘Red-brown alliance,’ I thought to myself. ‘Nearly eighty years after the fact, these people are still obsessing over the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? So, Mike Cernovich is Hitler and Caity’s Stalin? Is that it?’
It just shows you how hopelessly out of touch these critics are.
On a more positive note: CounterPunch did finally get around to publishing Part II of Patrick Walker’s defense of Caity, as promised. For those of you who haven’t read it yet:
