Well, who else is supposed to criticize the Democrats? Salon.com? The Nation Magazine? Bill Moyers?

I think that the point of Counterpunch (and PEN-L) is to address the necessity of transforming the system. We are facing a downward spiral in bourgeois politics that has been going on for decades. Richard Nixon's domestic policies were far more "liberal" than either Clinton's or Dean's.
Yeah, everybody should slap the Democrats when they're screwing things up in the relevant issue of the day. How's Krugman doing? Learn from him -- he's trying to drive a wedge between the army (and their families) and the administration. That's trying to get the biggest bang for your buck.
To draw the proper economic and political lessons from the Clinton years is an important strategic task. But it's not the burning issue of the day. You can seriously do it now without shooting yourself in the foot. How about picking on Greenspan? He's the one who gave a free pass to the tax cuts for the rich.
So, what's Counterpunch? I suppose the name says it all -- it's definitely not the Journal of Recent Economic History. Only children and junkies need not care about context.
As for PEN-L, I don't know, but it seems to me like a group of professional conspirators bent on taking over the galaxy -- just look at the e-mail address of their leader: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weird...
